There is still no timetable for Anderson's return. However this is the first time he has been able to do goalie drills in practice with no limitations.

Anderson who has been out since mid-February with a sprained ankle, could return this weekend. Ben Bishop and Robin Lehner played very well in Anderson's absence so he likely won't have the same workload he had before getting hurt. If he is available in your league he could be worth a pick-up. He was an early front-runner for the Vezina before getting hurt.

Anderson was taking shots in practice but was doing so gingerly, so he isn't quite ready. However it is a good sign that he is taking shots once again.

Anderson will continue skating throughout the weekend to test the ankle he injured Feb. 21. There is no timetable for Anderson's return from the high ankle sprain, but it's a promising sign that he was able to skate.

Keep Anderson on the bench in weekly formats and don't expect to get anything out of him this week in daily leagues.

· Guess who got hurt yesterday? Joni Pitkanen lasted just 6 minutes into the game before leaving with an upper-body-injury. Next time, it could be only 3 minutes, or one shift even. · How do you spell hot? We spell it V-O-R-A-C-E-K. · The way Ben Bishop has played in the place of injured Craig Anderson; perhaps he should be the next Pope. · Tyler Seguin has 7 points in the last 7 games. Get him before he gets too hot and then you lose all opportunity. · Where has the power gone from the Tampa Bay Lightning? More like an intermittent shower. read more

This is the first time Anderson has faced shots since he got hurt on February 21. There is no word on when Anderson will return to the Senators crease. Consider him day-to-day.

The Senators lost Anderson at 1:43 of the third period after Rangers forward Chris Kreider was tripped in front and slid into the unsuspecting netminder. He is considered day-to-day at this point, monitor his status over the next few days for a more accurate report on how long he will be out.

Anderson won his last start stopping 37 of 38 shots that the Islanders threw at him. Anderson has regressed a little but that was expected after a tremendous start. He is still one of fantasy's top goalie options but has a tough test tonight vs. Henrik Lundqvist and the Rangers. Good news for him is that Rangers forward Rick Nash will not play.

Anderson has lost 3 of his last 4 starts bringing his recorded to 7-4-2. He has the second best GAA (1.61) in the NHL and the top SV% (.948). Anderson is having the best season of his career however the wins aren't going to come as easy as they did when Erik Karlsson was in the lineup. He has a good matchup against the Islanders today.
