First Star: Frederik Andersen, G (OTL, 0.92 GAA, .966 SV%)
With the team in front of him struggling to stay active, Andersen was sharp, stopping 28 of 29 shots. He gave the Ducks a great chance to earn two points in a game they didn’t necessarily deserve to have that opportunity. He came up huge on Boedker in the second period, robbing him of a go-ahead goal. He also stopped Vermette on an odd-man rush in the overtime period. Andersen’s strong performance makes him a strong candidate to start on Sunday against Vancouver.
