Andersen Triumphs in Return, Hurricanes Down Canadiens 4-1

Goalie Frederik Andersen's comeback after a lengthy absence due to health issues leads Carolina to victory, amid team's trade and waiver moves.

Frederik Andersen returned to the Carolina Hurricanes' lineup after a four-month absence due to blood-clot issues, making 24 saves in a 4-1 victory over the Montreal Canadiens.
Brady Skjei scored two goals, marking his first two-goal game of the season and the third of his career.
The win comes as the Hurricanes are on the verge of making a high-profile trade, with forward Michael Bunting scratched due to 'trade-related reasons'.
Carolina placed goalie Antti Raanta, defenseman Tony DeAngelo, and forward Brendan Lemieux on waivers to clear salary cap space for potential moves.
The Hurricanes have points in 10 of their last 13 games, bouncing back from a recent loss where they squandered a three-goal, third-period lead against Winnipeg.
