Anderson made 34 saves in a 2-1 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson made several great saves, but couldn't hold back the powerful Leafs on the power play in overtime. Since Christmas, Anderson is 1-4-2 and has allowed 26 goals. The last couple games have been better -- just four goals allowed total in those two. It might be a trend or maybe just luck. He's an almost impossible activation because of the squad in front of him.

Anderson will defend the blue paint during Saturday's road game against the Maple Leafs, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson was sharp in his last start Tuesday against the Sabres, turning aside 28 of 30 shots en route to a 5-2 victory. The veteran backstop will attempt to pick up his eighth win of the season in a road matchup with a Toronto team that's averaging 3.44 goals per game at home this campaign, ninth in the NHL.

Anderson made 28 saves Tuesday in a 5-2 win over Buffalo.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson put forth his best performance since the Christmas break, recording his first victory since Dec. 23. He came into Tuesday's game having lost five straight starts while allowing four-plus goals in each of those outings. Both goals he allowed to the Sabres were somewhat fluky; the first came on a turnover directly on top of his crease, while the second came after he initially appeared to have frozen a loose puck. Anderson improved to 7-12-1 with a 3.25 GAA and .899 save percentage.

Anderson will defend the road net in Tuesday's matchup versus the Sabres, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson gets the nod on the latter half of back-to-back games. The veteran netminder carries a five-game losing streak into this contest, as he's allowed at least four goals in each outing while posting an .866 save percentage. The Sabres have been strong in their own barn, as they've scored 3.43 goals per home game this year -- ninth in the league.

Anderson finished with 39 saves Thursday but allowed all four goals in a 4-2 loss to Vegas.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson has lost five straight, allowing at least four goals in each start over that stretch. The veteran goaltender is not a reliable option between the pipes, playing behind a rebuilding roster prone to mistakes, and owns a 6-12-1 record in 2019-20.

Anderson was the first goalie off the ice at Thursday's game-day skate, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports, indicating he'll be between the pipes at home versus Vegas.
EDGE Analysis
After going 0-3-1 with a 4.88 GAA in his last four outings, Anderson was relegated to spot on the bench in favor of Marcus Hogberg. It appears the veteran Anderson will get the opportunity to right the ship, though he will be facing a Golden Knights squad that will be looking to bounce back after losing four in a row and seeing their coach fired.

Contrary to a previous report, Anderson will not start against the Canadiens on Saturday, Hailey Salvian of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Head coach D.J. Smith said that Marcus Hogberg would be "rewarded for good play" and get the starting nod again Saturday. Anderson will likely see some action against Chicago on Tuesday or Vegas on Thursday.

Anderson will man the crease at home against Montreal on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson is currently stuck in a brutal four-game skid in which he's registered a 4.88 GAA and .851 save percentage with a 0-3-1 record. He also has just two wins since the start of December. Anderson certainly isn't a safe option right now.

Anderson gave up five goals on 30 shots before being yanked from the crease early in the third period during Tuesday's 6-1 loss to Washington.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson has conceded 18 goals in his last four outings, all losses, and registered a disastrous .851 save percentage. With Anders Nilsson (concussion) still unavailable, the Senators will either have to ride it out with Anderson or give Marcus Hogberg a longer look between the pipes.

Anderson will patrol the visitors' crease Tuesday against the Capitals, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson has allowed four or more goals in each of his last three outings, taking a bit off the shine of the veteran netminder as trade bait. He still has plenty of time to recoup some of that value with the trade deadline still more than a month away and will aim to bounce back Tuesday against a Capitals club notching 3.53 goals per game.
