Anderson is expected to play the first two periods of Wednesday's preseason matchup with the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson struggled on a bottom-feeding Senators team last year, compiling a 17-27-4 record while posting a sub-par 3.51 GAA and .903 save percentage in 50 appearances. The 38-year-old may have trouble holding off Anders Nilsson for Ottawa's starting job in 2019-20, and the Senators are once again expected to finish the campaign near the bottom of the standings, so he should be viewed as a fringe fantasy option at best in most formats.

Anderson allowed three goals on seven shots before being replaced by Anders Nilsson midway through the first period in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
It's a rough, but fitting, way for Anderson's campaign to end. The veteran netminder has one more season at $4.75 million left on his current contract, but his 17-27-4 record, 3.51 GAA and .903 save percentage all suggest he's no longer capable of handling No. 1 duties in Ottawa.

Anderson will guard the goal when the Senators host the Blue Jackets in the season finale Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson will look to end what should be considered a disappointing season on a high note. The veteran owns significantly better numbers on home ice this season (2.91 GAA, .919 save percentage), which should give him a fighter's chance at picking up his 18th win before the season concludes. He will take on a Blue Jackets club that secured a playoff berth Friday, so the opposition could be at less than full force for the finale. It's at least worth noting the Blue Jackets can still move into the first wild-card spot.

Anderson yielded five goals on 26 shots in Monday's loss to the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson stopped 77 of 79 shots over two games before this outing, but the floodgates finally opened up against the President's Trophy winners. The 37-year-old netminder now wears a .904 save percentage, which is respectable considering the lack of talent in front of him.

Anderson will tend the home twine in Monday's game versus the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson went through a 14-game losing streak, but he's back on track now with three straight wins and a .954 save percentage in that span. The Bolts provide a substantial test as they lead the league with 3.88 goals per game and have won eight of the last 10 contests.

Anderson made 42 saves on 44 shots Saturday, helping his team earn a 4-2 win over Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
That's now three straight wins for Anderson, and he's closing strong at the end of what's been a frustrating and forgettable season. However, it might be wise to temper expectations for his next game. Though he's hot and the Senators traditionally play well against Tampa Bay, too much can go wrong to risk starting Anderson against the Lightning's powerful offense.

Anderson is scheduled to draw the home start Saturday versus the Maple Leafs, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.
EDGE Analysis
It took Anderson 15 games to put an end to a losing skid, but the veteran netminder has emerged victorious in two straight. He received eight goals of support over the pair of wins, though Anderson stole the show with a 35-save shutout to the detriment of the Sabres on Tuesday. Unfortunately, his next opponent is a Maple Leafs team that is superior to the Senators in every major offensive and defensive category, so only use Anderson if you're desperate for a goalie this late in the regular season.

Anderson was perfect Tuesday, making 35 saves in a 4-0 win over Buffalo on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson now owns a 16-25-4 record, with this win being just his second since Dec. 17. He'd gone seven straight games allowing three or more goals, but the 37-year-old snapped that streak with Tuesday's flawless performance.

Anderson will tend the twine when the Senators host the Sabres on Tuesday, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson bounced back from three straight losses to pick up the win Saturday against the Oilers, though set aside just 26 of the 29 shots he faced in that contest. The veteran netminder will square off against a Sabres club that has lost 10 of its last 11 games, which gives Anderson a strong chance to pick up a second straight victory.

Anderson made 26 saves Saturday in a 4-3 overtime victory over Edmonton. It was his first win since Dec. 17 (1-13-1)
EDGE Analysis
Ottawa is last in the Eastern Conference and has been eliminated from playoff contention. But they celebrated like it was a playoff victory. Anderson must be glad to get the weight of the loss monkey off his back, but he's still a massive fantasy risk. Continue to avoid.
