It’s been a tough time for Frederik Andersen. He’s been going through a lot of personal challenges, with the recent death of his longtime agent and former NHL player Claude Lemieux. Andersen missed the last three games of the Stanley Cup Final.

Andersen was thinking of Claude, along with his family members, as he achieved a career moment of winning a Stanley Cup. He was also surprised that he was the second player to receive the Stanley Cup.

“Everyone goes through stuff throughout the year. The way the team here has been picking each other up. It’s just so special.”
