HEAD COACH MIKE BABCOCK  – On Andersen’s play of late…

He’s been good for us, for sure. We think Freddie is an elite goaltender, we always want more, to tell you the truth, from where I’m at. Anybody knows that in the playoffs, if you’re going to have success at playoff time, your goalie has to be good. He’s got to be mentally strong and he’s got to bring it every night – when you don’t have it, when you do have it. He’s just got to be good and that’s what we expect.
