Frederik Andersen

Frederik Andersen has established a notable career as a professional ice hockey goaltender in the NHL, consistently delivering strong performances for multiple teams. After setting an Elitserien regular-season club record with eight shutouts for Frolunda HC in the 2011-12 season, where he also led the league in goals against average and save percentage, Frederik Andersen was redrafted by the Anaheim Ducks in the third round of the 2012 NHL Draft. Andersen began his professional career with Herning in Denmark’s top league, recording a 2.45 goals-against average in 22 games during the 2008-09 season, before playing for Frederikshavn White Hawks from 2009 to 2011. He made his NHL debut on October 20, 2013, with the Anaheim Ducks, contributing to a 6-3 victory against the Dallas Stars.

Andersen quickly became a pivotal player, becoming the Anaheim Ducks’ primary goaltender in the 2014-15 season. That season, he achieved 35 wins and tied an NHL record for the fastest goaltender to reach 50 career wins in just 68 games, helping the Ducks reach the 2015 Western Conference Final. His stellar performance continued into the 2015-16 season, when he shared the prestigious William M. Jennings Trophy with John Gibson, awarded to the goalies on the team with the fewest goals allowed (192 goals) during the regular season.

He reached his 500th career NHL game on January 20, 2025, and just three days later, on January 23, 2025, he achieved his 300th NHL win, becoming the second-fastest goalie in NHL history to reach this milestone.
