Anisimov was promoted from the taxi squad Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
This move comes after the Senators traded Alex Galchenyuk and Cedric Paquette to Carolina for Ryan Dzingel. Anisimov likely will enter the lineup in the bottom six out of necessity. The 32-year-old has dressed for just four games this year, recording a point and seven shots on net.

Anisimov was assigned to Ottawa's taxi squad Saturday, per Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun.

Anisimov was waived by the Senators on Wednesday, Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anisimov has been a healthy scratch for the Senators' last eight games, so this move doesn't come as a surprise. He'll likely be assigned to Ottawa's taxi squad if he passes through waivers unclaimed.

Anisimov posted an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Anisimov helped out on Nick Paul's goal in the second period, which gave the Senators a 3-2 lead at the time. More importantly, it was Anisimov's first point in three games this year. The Russian forward has added four shots on goal and a minus-1 rating. He struggled with 20 points and a minus-15 rating in 49 outings last year, and the early results suggest a bounce-back campaign isn't likely.

Anisimov (upper body) will be ready to go should the NHL regular season resume, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
With the Senators struggles this year, Anisimov won't be seeing any additional action in 2020-21 if the league jumps right into the postseason. Prior to the shutdown, the center garnered 15 goals and five helpers in 49 outings, his lowest point total since the lockout-shortened 2012-13 campaign.

If the regular season does not resume, Anisimov (upper body) has failed to play in 50 games for the first time in seven years, and it showed up in his scoring totals.
EDGE Analysis
Injuries knocked him out of the last four games, but he did match his goal numbers from last year. At this point in his career, the soon-to-be 32-year-old is a 15-to-20 goal scorer who will provide assists as well as goals when he's on a good team and will only provide goals when his team isn't up to par. As the Senators are rebuilding, Anisimov is strictly a lower-end goal scorer at this point.

Anisimov (upper body) isn't in the projected lineup for Wednesday's clash with the Kings, NHL.com's Dan Greenspan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anisimov will miss a fourth consecutive contest Wednesday and remains without a timetable for his return. The veteran pivot should be considered out indefinitely until the Senators release another update on his status.
