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.

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

The Rangers fell to 24-22-4 (52 points) and failed to gain ground in their chase for a playoff berth. They remained three points behind Tampa Bay for the final wild-card spot. They’ll try to pick up the pieces when they go to Boston for an afternoon game Saturday before coming back home Sunday for a game against Vegas.
