With Frederik Andersen experiencing “flu-like symptoms” (PHT diagnosis: it might be the flu), the Anaheim Ducks will turn to backup Anton Khudobin for tonight’s home game versus Calgary.
Khudobin could, in turn, be backed up by John Gibson, recalled today from AHL San Diego. The Ducks have officially listed Andersen as “questionable.”
Khudobin (3-3-0, .917) has not started a game in over a week. His last action came exactly a week ago, after Andersen got the hook versus Nashville.
Andersen may or may not travel with the Ducks for tomorrow’s game at Arizona.
The Ducks, of course, are coming off a 5-0 loss to Tampa Bay, a result that produced the following quote from Ryan Kesler:
Kesler: "Back-to-back-to-back goals. We just got to figure out a way to … when we scored on, it’s not the f---ing end of the world."

After a four-game winning streak to start November, Anaheim has since dropped five of its last seven.
Karri Ramo will be in net for the Flames. After a terrible start to the season, he’s been much better lately, allowing just eight goals combined in his last four starts.
