‘Playing for something more’: Hurricanes’ Frederik Andersen and an emotional Stanley Cup Final

Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Frederik Andersen is competing in his first Stanley Cup Final while grieving the death of his longtime agent and close friend Claude Lemieux, who passed away between Games 4 and 5 of the Eastern Conference Final. Andersen, who had worked with Lemieux for 15 years, described their relationship as far more than a professional one. He spoke to media at Stanley Cup Final media day on Monday in Raleigh, N.C., acknowledging the emotional weight he is carrying into the series.
