Anderson will start in goal against host Tampa Bay on Saturday, Ken Warren of the Ottawa Citizen reports.
EDGE Analysis
This will be Anderson's third time facing the Bolts in 2018-19. He's 1-0-1 against them, having surrendered eight goals on 73 combined shots. Ottawa's chief puck plugger actually defeated the Presidents' Trophy favorites in Tampa on Nov. 10, but the Senators traded three proficient scoring forwards at the deadline, so don't expect this team to repeat that six-goal performance against Andrei Vasilevskiy and Co.

Anderson made 22 saves in a 4-2 loss to the Oilers on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Gulp. Anderson wasn't bad -- he only allowed three goals. But the loss was his ninth straight dating back to Dec. 21. The 37-year-old is a fantasy liability right now. You cannot trust him.

Anderson will be between the pipes for Thursday's home clash with the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson is bogged down in an eight-game losing streak in which he posted a .894 save percentage and 3.60 GAA. Despite the losses, the netminder will make his fourth straight appearance in goal after a 12-save relief outing against Washington on Tuesday. The veteran will likely split time with Anders Nilsson for the remainder of the season.

Anderson allowed one goal on 13 shots faced in relief of Anders Nilsson during Tuesday's 7-2 loss to the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson was expected to get the night off, but the Capitals high-powered offense made short work of that plan as the 37-year-old relieved Anders Nilsson of the netminding duties in the second period. With little offensive support coming now that Matt Duchene, Mark Stone and Ryan Dzingel have been all been traded, no Ottawa netminder is a safe fantasy play at this point.

Anderson stopped 33 of 35 shots in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
While there was little Anderson could do on Mikael Backlund's opening goal, Ottawa's starter would like to have Austin Czarnik's game-winning goal with 41 seconds left in regulation back. Sunday's loss is Anderson's eighth straight defeat and drops the 37-year-old's record to 14-20-3 with a 3.53 GAA and .905 save percentage. His last win came back on Dec. 17.

Anderson will protect the home cage in Sunday's game versus the Flames, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson has made only six starts since the calendar flipped to 2019, and he's lost each outing in regulation and posted a brutal 3.55 GAA in that span. Calgary will be a serious test as it ranks second in the league with 3.66 goals per game and it has won four straight. The Senators make it tough for their goaltenders to win with limited offensive support, and they won't have their three top-scoring forwards due to trades. Anderson carries a ton of risk in the fantasy realm.

Anderson stopped 37 of 40 shots in Friday's 3-0 loss to the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
The Senators seemed deflated seeing Matt Duchene in a visitor's jersey after Friday's big trade, leaving their veteran netminder high and dry and wasting his solid performance. The 37 saves were the most for Anderson since Dec. 6, but he's now lost seven straight starts, and his 3.58 GAA would be the worst of his career without a huge finish to the season.

Anderson will defend the home net Friday against the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
Mired in a slump, Anderson retakes the cage in search of his first win since Dec. 17. He has only appeared in the crease six times since then, but Anderson owns just a 4.15 GAA and .876 save percentage in those contests. While he's 0-2-0 at home, Anderson's 2.59 GAA and .907 save percentage provide a glimmer of hope that he will bust out of it, though the Senators are resting most of their key offensive contributors ahead of Monday's trade deadline and already traded Matt Duchene, who will suit up for Friday's foe.

Anderson came on in relief of Anders Nilsson, stopping 26 of 30 shots in an 8-7 loss to Chicago on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
This wasn't the way Anderson wanted to hit this milestone, but it happened when he came in after just 13:22 of action and four Blackhawks goals. Giving up four of his own doesn't suggest that he's anywhere near back to form after an eye injury, however, and it's probably best to avoid him for the time being until he shows he's back to full strength.

Anderson (eye) is healthy and will draw into the lineup Monday versus the Blackhawks, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
This doesn't confirm that Anderson will start in the road goal, although it's likely since the Senators won't be playing back-to-back matchups. Anderson has sat out the last five games with this eye injury. He's looking to break a five-game losing streak as well, posting an unimpressive .878 save percentage in that span.
