What happened: Goaltender Frederik Andersen confirmed he suffered a knee injury in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final that kept him out of action for the final three games of the series. After attempting to play through the ailment in Game 3, Andersen was sidelined as the team completed its championship run.

Why it matters: Andersen was a dominant force throughout the first three rounds, nearly setting a record for the fastest path to 12 postseason wins. His injury required a goaltending shift during the Stanley Cup Final, though his early performance remained critical to the franchise's success.

What to watch: The veteran goaltender will undergo further evaluation this week to determine if surgery is required for his recovery. Andersen enters the offseason as a first-time champion following his 13th NHL season.
