Ducks goalie Frederik Andersen stayed out late for extra work after the team’s morning skate Thursday at Staples Center. He said he’s feeling “better and better” after suffering a concussion during the Ducks’ victory March 30 over the Calgary Flames. Andersen sat out for the fourth game Thursday, with John Gibson starting against the Kings and Anton Khudobin serving as Gibson’s backup.

Andersen said he would like to play in either the Ducks’ game Saturday against the Colorado Avalanche in Denver or Sunday against the Capitals in Washington before the playoffs begin next week. He also would like to participate in a full practice with his teammates, but Friday would be the only chance to do it and the Ducks might cancel it in order to rest for a grueling weekend of cross-country travel.

“That’s the goal because you want to ready for the playoffs and whatever that brings,” Andersen said. “You want to be prepared for it the best way. So, yeah, best-case would be to get a game here on the weekend. It would be a good thing to get in there and feel game speed again.”
