Ducks' Andersen starts Game 3

The Anaheim Ducks will go with Danish puck-stopper Frederik Andersen in Game 3 against the Los Angeles Kings on Thursday night, ESPN's Pierre LeBrun reports. Bruce Boudreau flip-flopping his starter in the middle of a playoff series? That's unheard of!
The 24-year-old Andersen outperformed the veteran Jonas Hiller - who started Game 1 and 2 for Anaheim - in the regular season, but struggled enormously in the playoffs. In six starts so far in the Stanley Cup playoffs, Andersen allowed 18 goals on 166 shots against for a brutal .892 save percentage.
