While the Hurricanes weren't able to go into too much detail about the situation, the team did release this statement early on Monday amidst all the rumours about Andersen.
This doesn't give us any insight to exactly what's happening, but Kevin Weekes has now revealed that an official medical update will be coming later on Monday.
While the situation doesn't look good right now, Hurricanes insider Luke DeCock has given us as much detail as we know right now, claiming that the issue isn't imminently life threatening, but is still something that needs to be dealt with and taken very seriously.
Ultimately, we hope for the best for the veteran goaltender, and perhaps the update later today could ease the fears of a lot of fans, but we will give an update on the situation as soon as it happens.
