Anisimov (upper body) won't be available for Thursday's game against the Islanders, Nicolas St-Pierre of 945 Unique FM reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anisimov suffered an upper-body injury during Tuesday's 7-3 loss to the Penguins and will miss at least one contest as a result. Chris Tierney will likely get the first crack at replacing Anisimov on Ottawa's top line against the Islanders.

Anisimov exited Tuesday's game against the Penguins in the first period due to an upper-body injury and will not return.
EDGE Analysis
Anisimov's 20 points over 48 games aren't particularly impressive, but the fact that 15 of them are goals boosts his fantasy value slightly. His next chance to retake the ice arrives Thursday when the Senators host the Pens.

Anisimov scored twice in regulation and notched the deciding goal in the 4-3 shootout win over Detroit on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Anisimov was hot. But the goals were just his second and third point in his last six games. He's skating to a Cy Young stat pack -- he's 15-5. Yes, Anisimov is talented, but he could be on your wire. Go check.

Anisimov produced a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Monday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
Anisimov set up the latter of Connor Brown's two goals in the game. The Russian forward has just five assists to go with 13 goals in 45 contests this year. Anisimov is on pace for his worst offensive season since the lockout-shortened 2013 campaign.

Anisimov posted two goals -- one on the power play -- on five shots in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
Anisimov scored twice over a span of 2:24 in the first period. Although he resides in the bottom six, the 31-year-old has registered four goals and a helper over nine February games, and he now has 13 goals through 42 games. A new career high in the category is attainable, but it's unlikely he continues to score at a 28.1 percent rate for the rest of the season.

Anisimov scored in overtime to lead his team to a 4-3 win over Dallas on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
In overtime, Anisimov was the beneficiary of some hard work on the part of teammate Brady Tkachuk and wound up scoring on a breakaway, courtesy a nifty backhand finish. The goal was Anisimov's first game-winning goal of the season and gives the forward 11 goal,s and 15 points, in 41 games in 2019-20.

Anisimov scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 3-2 shootout loss to Anaheim.
EDGE Analysis
Anisimov's power-play goal at 3:16 of the third period knotted the score at 2-2 and ultimately sent the game into overtime. It was the 10th goal in 34 games for the first-year Senator, but his second in the last three games. The 31-year-old has four 20-goal seasons on his NHL resume but will be hard-pressed to get there with the offensively-challenged Senators.

Anisimov scored his eighth goal of the season in Tuesday's 6-1 loss to the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
He opened the scoring early in the first period, ripping a shot into the top corner past Ilya Samsonov on a 2-on-1, but the game was all Caps after that. Anisimov has only 10 points through 31 games this season, which could make it tough for the Senators to shed the 31-year-old's contract at the trade deadline if they're so inclined.

Anisimov scored an even-strength goal in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to New Jersey.
EDGE Analysis
Despite logging 3:13 of power-play time against the Devils, Anisimov failed to produce on special teams Sunday, but he did score his seventh goal of 2019-20. The goal was his sixth point since returning from a groin injury that caused Anisimov to miss 10 games. For the season, he has eight points in 21 games.

Anisimov scored a goal on three shots in Monday's 5-2 win over the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Anisimov tallied at 1:35 of the first period, and the Senators would never trail in the game. It was the fourth goal of the year for the Russian -- that accounts for all of his offense in 13 games. He's produced 24 shots on goal but carries a minus-8 rating -- Anisimov can't be trusted to be a consistent presence on the scoresheet yet.
