Craig Anderson is likely to start in the crease against the Hurricanes later in this evening, CBC's Dan Seguin reports.

Anderson was absent from Thursday's optional skate, meaning he's likely to start in the crease against the Hurricanes later in the evening, CBC's Dan Seguin reports.

Analysis:

Anderson has been healthy all season and is starting to play consistently. The 34-year-old backstop has only allowed more than two goals in a game just once in his past five appearances. While his 2.80 GAA on the season is hard on the eyes, consider that the Hurricanes rank 23rd in the league with 2.4 goals per game.
