Andersen is the fourth Carolina goalie with a shutout this season joining Pyotr Kochetkov, Dustin Tokarski and Spencer Martin. The Hurricanes are the fourth team in NHL history and first since the 2002-03 St. Louis Blues to have four different goalies record a shutout in the same season.

In a heated playoff race, the Rangers don’t need moral victories, they need points, so these two consecutive losses certainly set them back in the standings. The Rangers will be back in action on Saturday afternoon against the Boston Bruins.

Andrei Svechnikov scored twice and added an assist, Frederik Andersen made 22 saves, and the Carolina Hurricanes beat the New York Rangers 4-0.
