Craig Anderson will play between the pipes against Winnipeg.
Anderson has a 3.44 GAA and .891 save percentage in 20 games this season. He has had some good starts, but they've been drowned out by the terrible ones. The Senators are a decent team this season and are leaning heavily on Anderson, so if all you're looking for is starts and wins, then Anderson is at least a decent option.

Craig Anderson stopped 34 out of 37 shots to win his 10th game of 2011-12.
It hasn't always been pretty, but Anderson is proving to be a respectable full-time starter in the NHL (and a decent depth option in fantasy). He bounced back nicely from being pulled in his last start and has won four of his last five games.

Craig Anderson will play between the pipes on Sunday.
Anderson allowed four goals on eighth shots before being pulled on Friday. "You want to get back on that horse," Anderson said. We hope this time he doesn't fall off.

Craig Anderson allowed four goals on eighth shots in a 6-3 loss Friday.
Anderson was pulled after just 9:11 minutes and replaced by Alex Auld. Auld turned aside 30 of 32 shots, but the damage was already done. Anderson now has a 3.46 GAA and .889 save percentage in 19 games this season.

Craig Anderson will get the nod when Ottawa plays in Pittsburgh Friday.
He was unable to play Sunday's 2-1 loss to Vancouver because of neck stiffness, but remained on the bench as the backup and is ready to play again. Anderson has been playing better of late with three wins in his past three appearances and he'll need to continue that trend against a much healthier and dangerous Penguins lineup.

Craig Anderson is expected to be back at practice on Tuesday after a sore neck relegated him to backup duty in Sunday's loss to Vancouver.
The Senators don't play until Friday in Pittsburgh, so he has plenty of time to get over any lingering effects.

A sore neck is the reason backup Alex Auld is starting in place of Craig Anderson against the Canucks.
Anderson is reportedly well enough to serve as backup in this game so the injury likely isn't serious.

As expected, Craig Anderson should be the Ottawa Senators' starting goalie on Nov. 20.
Anderson is really starting to heat up. The Sens' franchise goalie is on a three-game winning streak after a tough opening month of the 2011-12 season. If he's a free agent in your league, he's not an awful option for depth, even if his numbers might not "wow" you most nights.

Craig Anderson stopped 22 of the 24 shots he faced in the Ottawa Senators' win against the reeling Edmonton Oilers on Thursday night.
Not a particularly great performance, but there's something to be said for winning on the road and getting the job done. Anderson began the year looking like he wanted to lose his job, but his play has taken a step forward in November. In his last three starts - all wins - the 30-year-old has allowed five goals on 96 shots. He's still a low-end No. 2 option at best right now.

Craig Anderson earned his second consecutive win after stopping 38 out of 39 shots against the Calgary Flames.
The Ottawa Senators won 3-1 thanks in large part to the work of their top goaltender. Anderson's individual numbers are still shaky (.894 save percentage and 3.33 GAA), but this might be a sign that he's turning things around. He's only allowed three goals on 72 shots in his last two starts.
