Anderson will get the road start Tuesday against the Predators, Robby Stanley of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson will get the nod for the second game of a back-to-back. This will be his eighth appearance since the All-Star break, and the 38-year-old has been solid, producing a .921 save percentage and 3-2-1 record. The Predators will be a tough matchup, though, as they've won three of the past four home outings, although they've averaged just 2.75 goals per game in that stretch.

Anderson made 34 saves in Saturday's 3-0 loss to the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
He'd won two straight before Saturday, but it's hard to pad that total if his mates can't find twine at all. Andersen remains a possible trade chip come Monday, so don't be surprised if he moves in a deal. If so, his value goes up, even if he's in a backup role. A backup on a competitive team has to be better than a starter on a bad squad.

Anderson is in net for Saturday's road game in Montreal, Murray Pam of Sporting News Canada reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson watched from the bench as Ottawa dropped a 5-1 decision to Winnipeg on Feb. 20. He starts against the Canadiens on Saturday and will be trying to secure his third win in a row. The veteran won his only other game versus Montreal this season and owns a 13-13-3 lifetime record against the Original Six franchise.

Anderson allowed four goals on 27 shots but held on to defeat Buffalo 7-4 on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The 38-year old gave Buffalo an early 2-0 lead, getting beaten twice in the opening 10:12. Afterwards, Ottawa would score four straight goals to take a 4-2 lead into the first intermission. Twice the Sabres would cut their deficit to a single goal, but Anderson never allowed them to tie it up. The veteran netminder's record on the year now stands at 9-13-2, making Anderson a low-end fantasy option between the pipes.

Per Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun, Anderson was the first netminder off the ice at morning skate, which suggests he'll get the start in goal in Tuesday's home game versus Buffalo.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson was rock solid in his last start Sunday against the Stars, stopping 36 of 39 shots en route to a 4-3 win. The veteran backstop will attempt to pick up his ninth victory of the season in a home matchup with a surging Sabres squad that's won three straight games.

Anderson stopped 36 of 39 shots in a 4-3 overtime victory versus Dallas on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
After getting pulled in his last start, Anderson was looking to bounce back and did so with a solid performance against the Stars on Sunday. It was his first win in the month of February, in four tries. Since 2016-17, the 38-year-old has been tough to trust in fantasy. Anderson's record after this win stands at 8-13-2.

Anderson will patrol the blue paint for Sunday's home contest against the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson was yanked after allowing four goals on 22 shots against Winnipeg in his last start on Feb. 8. However, he stopped all 14 shots he faced in relief against Toronto on Saturday after starter Marcus Hogberg got the hook. Anderson's 3.21 GAA and .901 save percentage don't make him a very reliable option for the Senators or fantasy owners.

Anderson stopped 18 of 22 shots before being replaced by Marcus Hogberg to begin the third period of Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
After a couple of solid performances, Anderson slid back into his usual poor form, although he got very little help from the Ottawa blue line. The veteran netminder has given up four goals or more in six of his last eight outings, and on the season Anderson carries a 3.27 GAA and .899 save percentage.

Anderson will protect the road net Saturday versus the Jets, Ken Wiebe of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson will make his first start in a week, but the veteran netminder has been excellent since the All-Star break, posting a 1-0-1 record with a .939 save percentage. The Jets have struggled offensively lately, too, as they've lost six of eight and averaged 2.4 goals per game in that stretch. Anderson could be an intriguing daily fantasy play.
