EDGE Analysis
Ilya Samsonov was assigned to AHL Hershey for conditioning purposes Sunday. In turn, either Vitek Vanecek or Craig Anderson will start in Sunday's game versus the Penguins. Anderson has made just one appearance this year, stopping six of eight shots in a relief appearance Feb. 7.

Anderson stopped six of eight shots Sunday after replacing Vitek Vanecek late in the second period of Sunday's 7-4 loss to the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
Philly's final goal was scored into an empty net, and Anderson got stuck with the loss after Nicklas Backstrom tied the game at 4-4 soon after the netminder entered the game. It was the 39-year-old's first action of the season, and Anderson didn't do much to suggest he can help take some of the load off Vanecek's shoulders while Ilya Samsonov (COVID-19) remains sidelined.

Anderson was added to the active roster and is expected to back up in Sunday's game against Philadelphia, CBS Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson continues to shuffle between the active roster and taxi squad to save cap space for the Capitals. Anderson will back up behind Vitek Vanecek, with Zach Fucale not dressing Sunday.

Anderson was assigned to Washington's taxi squad Friday, per CBS.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson was replaced by fellow netminder Zach Fucale on the active roster, but it wouldn't be surprising to see that duo trade places once again ahead of Sunday's game versus Philadelphia.

The Capitals promoted Anderson from their taxi squad to their active roster Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Ilya Samsonov was placed in the NHL's COVID-19 protocol Wednesday, so Anderson will be on hand as an insurance policy for Friday's matchup with the Sabres. If Samsonov is unavailable, Anderson will likely serve as Vitek Vanecek's backup against Buffalo.

Anderson cleared waivers and will be assigned to the Capitals' taxi squad, Samantha Pell of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson inked a one-year deal with Washington on Wednesday and will back up Ilya Samsonov and Vitek Vanecek on the main roster. The 39-year-old is a non-factor for fantasy purposes unless he can secure regular playing time.

Anderson signed a one-year, $700,000 deal with the Capitals on Wednesday, Mike Vogel of the Capitals' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson was subsequently placed on waivers so he can be placed on the taxi squad ahead of Thursday's opener against the Sabres. The 39-year-old will provide a wealth of experience for the Capitals' young tandem of Ilya Samsonov and Vitek Vanecek, but he's not expected to garner enough of a workload to merit fantasy consideration for the time being.

Anderson signed a professional tryout agreement with the Capitals on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Henrik Lundqvist (heart) was originally signed to provide experienced depth behind presumptive starter Ilya Samsonov, but with the former out for the year due to a cardiac issue, Anderson will fill the void. The 39-year-old tallied an 11-17-2 record behind a 3.25 GAA and .902 save percentage in 34 games with the Senators during the 2019-20 season and is expected to contend with Vitek Vanecek for the backup position behind Samsonov when training camp gets underway.
