EDGE Analysis

The game was closer than the score -- the Bolts didn't actually score the go-ahead marker until the 18:30 mark of the third. Anderson played a strong game and remains possible trade bait for a contender.

Anderson will defend the home net in Saturday's matchup against the Lightning.

Anderson will be between the pipes versus the Panthers at home Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson gave up four goals on 34 shots (.882 save percentage) in Sunday's overtime loss against New Jersey. The veteran netminder hasn't suffered a regulation defeat since Nov. 25 versus Columbus but made just four appearances over that stretch. Once Anders Nilsson (concussion) is cleared to return, Anderson will likely find himself back on the bench as the No. 2 option.

Anderson allowed four goals on 34 shots and fell 4-3 to New Jersey in overtime Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

After standing on his head in his last start, stopping 43 of 44 shots in 3-1 win over the Sabres on Dec. 23, Anderson was unable to pick up a win at home against the Devils on Sunday. Following the loss, the 38-year-old owns a 6-8-1 record in 2019-20. Ottawa visits the Penguins on Monday and considering Anderson's 3-6-0 record in 11 road starts this season, head coach D.J. Smith could opt to rest his veteran netminder for that one.

Anderson will patrol the crease during Sunday's home matchup with the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson was razor sharp in his last start Monday against the Sabres, stopping 43 of 44 shots en route to a 3-1 win. The 38-year-old American will try to pick up his seventh win of the season in a home matchup with a New Jersey team that's only averaging 2.17 goals per game on the road this campaign, 30th in the NHL.

Anderson made a season-high 43 saves in Monday's 3-1 win over Buffalo.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson hadn't played since suffering a knee injury on Dec. 7 but showed no ill effects in his return to the lineup, totaling his highest save total since last November. The 38-year-old is 6-8-0 on the season with a 2.88 GAA and a .909 save percentage.

Anderson is in line to start between the pipes in Monday's home game versus the Sabres, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson will sit on the bench as Marcus Hogberg's backup Saturday against the Flyers, but he'll be back back between the pipes Monday. The veteran has posted a 5-8-0 record while registering a 3.01 GAA and .901 save percentage in 16 appearances this season.

Anderson (knee) has been cleared to return to the lineup, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anders Nilsson is dealing with a concussion, so Anderson will likely be thrust into a workhorse role immediately following his six-game absence. The veteran backstop has compiled a 5-8-0 record while posting a 3.01 GAA and .901 save percentage in 16 appearances this season.

According to coach D.J. Smith, Anderson (knee) is "close to being ready," Steve Lloyd of TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson will miss a sixth straight game Thursday, but it sounds like he could finally be cleared to return ahead of Saturday's matchup with Philadelphia. Another update on the veteran netminder's status should surface prior to that contest.
