Anderson stopped 33 of 34 shots in Monday's 2-0 loss to the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
The 38-year-old Anderson turned in his best start of the young season, yielding only a Victor Rask goal midway through the third period (Zach Parise added an empty-netter). Anderson had allowed nine goals in his first two starts of the year, so today was an encouraging performance. Still, support at either end of the rink will be tough to come by on most nights with the 1-4-0 Senators.

Anderson will tend the home twine for Monday's game against the Wild, Brent Wallace of TSN.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
After averaging 36 shots against over the first two games, Anderson yielded two goals to the Lightning on 21 shots Saturday en route to his first win of the season. Minnesota is still seeking its first win of the year, and it has averaged just 2.5 goals per game so far. Anderson could still get plenty of action, however, as the Wild averaged 32 shots on net in that stretch.

Anderson made 19 saves in a 4-2 win over Tampa Bay on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
What a way to get your first win of the season -- take down the mighty Bolts. Anderson is the 38-year-old backstop of a young, inexperienced team. Last season, he went 17-27-4 and could be lucky to score that many victories this year. But savor this one. His team will be fun to watch this season, but Anderson will be hard to activate.

Anderson will start between the pipes in Saturday's home game against the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson has had a predictably poor start to the season, suffering back-to-back losses to the Maple Leafs and Rangers while posting an ugly 4.58 GAA and .875 save percentage. Things are unlikely to improve Saturday, as he'll be taking on a stacked Tampa Bay offense that just thrashed Toronto by a score of 7-3 on the road Thursday.

Anderson made 26 saves in a 4-1 loss to the Rangers on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran netminder has dropped his first two starts of the season, allowing nine goals on 72 shots against. While the Senators' season is just two games old, it appears Anderson's fantasy value will be rather low in 2019-20 with his team expected to be on the wrong end of things most nights.

Anderson will start between the pipes in Saturday's home game against the Rangers, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson was tested early and often in Wednesday's season-opening loss to the Maple Leafs, ultimately surrendering five goals on 42 shots. The veteran netminder will hope to fare better in a home matchup with a new-look Rangers squad that just potted six goals in a season-opening victory over the Jets on Thursday.

Anderson stopped 37 of 42 Toronto shots in a 5-3 loss to the Maple Leafs in Wednesday's season opener.
EDGE Analysis
The 38-year-old Anderson turned in a scoreless first period but the Leafs broke the game open with four goals in the middle frame. Anderson logged a 3.51 GAA and .903 save percentage for a poor Senators squad in 2018-19 and things might not get much better for the veteran in 2019-20.

Anderson will patrol the paint during Wednesday's road matchup with Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson understandably struggled on a talent-deprived Senators roster last season, compiling a 17-27-4 record while posting an ugly 3.51 GAA and .903 save percentage in 50 appearances. Things are unlikely to improve for the 38-year-old vet Wednesday, as he'll be stepping into a road matchup with a Maple Leafs team that averaged 3.56 goals per game at home last campaign, fifth in the NHL.

Anderson will guard the goal for the entirety of Wednesday's preseason matchup with Vancouver, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wednesday's game is the Senators' penultimate preseason contest, so it will likely represent Anderson's final opportunity to tune up ahead of the regular season. The veteran netminder has been sharp thus far this preseason, owning a 2.25 GAA and .940 save percentage through two appearances.

Anderson will be in goal for Saturday's matchup with the Canadiens, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson stopped 20 of 21 shots versus the Maple Leafs on Wednesday -- a solid outing for the veteran netminder. The Illinois native will battle Anders Nilsson for playing time this season.
