Freddie Andersen joins the Hurricanes rush

It's not often we see a goalie skate down the ice with the puck, but that is exactly what Frederik Andersen did on Tuesday night.

During the second period in a game versus the New York Rangers, Andersen began skating to the Canes bench as there was a delayed penalty call on the ice. On his way, however, the puck came his way near the blueline, and without hesitation, he chose to take a few strides with it before playing it back to his defenceman.

Not only was this a fun play by Andersen, but it was also an extremely aware one. Had he continued with the puck past center ice, he would have been given a two-minute minor for delay of game, as goaltenders are not allowed to carry the puck past the red line. Because he chose to play it back just prior, however, there was nothing wrong with the play.
