Andersen will not participate in the 2017 IIHF World Championship with Denmark, Pierre LeBrun of ESPN.com reports.
Andersen's decision will almost certainly sink Denmark's chances of making it past the preliminary round of the tournament, the netminder played in 60-plus regular-season contests for the first time in his career -- posting a 33-16-14 record -- so it should come as no surprise that he's looking forward to some time off.

Andersen stopped 26 of the 28 shots flung his way, but a lack of offensive support resulted in a Game 5 loss -- following one in Game 4 -- and a 2-1 series advantage has turned into to a 3-2 deficit. He will look to force a Game 7 back in Washington.
Andersen turned aside 26 of 28 shots from the Capitals on Friday, ultimately taking an overtime loss for Game 5.
This was one of Freddie's better performances of the series considering he had save percentages below .900 in Games 4 and 5, but the lack of offensive support did him in.

Despite an apology from Lupul on Wednesday, Cherry did not mince words with his response in a tweet with an attached document.
"I can hear [Lupul's] agent now after reading Joffrey's tweet where he said the Leafs cheat. Indicating he's healthy and can play but the Leafs don't want him and his 5 million dollar contract for the team cap. Who he is accusing is the guy in charge, Lou Lamoriello.
"Joffrey shake your head, Lou is so straight laced as they say... Do you really think that he went to the doctor and said don't pass Lupul? First, that's saying he would risk his reputation and what about the doctor and his reputation?
"There's no way this happened. Joffrey you're getting 5 million for doing nothing. Lay on the California beach. Collect the dough. Lou might bend a few rules but he would never cheat. Word of advice, don't piss him off. Keep your mouth shut."
