The 25-year-old netminder hit the milestone in his 73rd career NHL game, as the Ducks defeated the Arizona Coyotes.
Despite winning just three games in seven playoff appearances, Andersen has only managed to lose 13 regular season games in his short career.
The product of Denmark splits the bulk of the team's goaltending duties with John Gibson.
