Andersen will get the start for Friday's home opener against the Wild, Eric Stephens of the Orange County Register reports.

Analysis:

The banishment of John Gibson to AHL Norfolk for the weekend signals that Andersen is the clear No. 1 goalie in Anaheim, at least for now. He's certainly earned that distinction with the numbers he's put up in his three starts, during which he's gone 3-0-0 with a 1.95 GAA and .928 save percentage. So long as he can play well enough to hold off Gibson for regular duty, Andersen should at least be an average to above-average fantasy option in goal, with a strong Ducks team likely guiding him to wins in the majority of the games he starts.
