Reports that the Hurricanes were looking to bring back both of their pending unrestricted free agent veteran goaltenders didn’t take long to come to fruition on Saturday, as, per first reports from TSN, Frederik Andersen and Antti Raanta will both be back in the fold next season.
The Frederik Andersen contract is reported to be for two years with a $3.4-million AAV, while the Hurricanes have confirmed a one-year, $1.5-million contract for Raanta.
Both goalies signed with the Hurricanes in free agency ahead of the 2021-22 season, and, while this past year was more of a mixed bag, both have mostly played well and been good fits for the team.
