Anderson saved 29 of 31 shots in Saturday's 5-2 win against Arizona.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson surrendered a power-play goal at 3:35 of the first period that gave Arizona a 1-0 lead, then he was beaten by Barrett Hayton at 12:16 of the second to put the Coyotes up 2-1. However, he was perfect after that to allow Buffalo to pull away. The 41-year-old goaltender earned his second straight win, giving him a 7-4-1 record, 2.66 GAA and .922 save percentage in 13 games this season.

Anderson made 40 saves in Tuesday's 6-0 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Buffalo got outshot 40-25 and remarkably didn't score its first goal until early in the third period, so for the first 40 minutes Anderson stood on his head to keep the game deadlocked, making 30 of his 40 stops. It's the first shutout of the year for the 41-year-old netminder and his first in nearly four years, with his last one coming in March 2019 as a Senator. After this outstanding performance, Anderson has turned back the clock with a 2.71 GAA and .921 save percentage -- what would be his best numbers since 2016-17 if he can keep them up.

Anderson was the first goalie to leave the ice Tuesday, Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Herald reports, indicating he'll be between the home pipes versus the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson has given up three or more goals in three straight contests, posting a 1-1-1 record and .910 save percentage. The veteran netminder figures to continue splitting the workload with Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, though both goaltenders have been struggling to keep pucks out of the net.

Anderson stopped 29 shots in Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
It was a tough way for the 41-year-old netminder to down in defeat -- Jeff Skinner got ejected for cross-checking Jake Guentzel after the Pittsburgh forward had slashed Anderson, and the Pens potted the OT winner on the ensuing power play. Anderson is 5-4-1 on the season, but he's proving he still has a little something left in the tank with a .912 save percentage to go along with his 2.97 GAA.

Per Penguins radio voice Josh Getzoff, Anderson was the first goaltender off the ice Friday, indicating he will patrol the home crease against Pittsburgh.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson has faced 89 shots on goal in his last two games of action, but this will be his first start in four games. He is 5-4-0 with a 2.87 GAA and a .916 save percentage this season. He will face the Penguins, who have 93 goals in 26 games, 10th best in the NHL.

Anderson stopped 40 of 44 shots in Wednesday's 5-4 shootout win over the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson had a 4-1 lead to protect in the third period, but the Red Wings tallied three times in a span of 5:40 to erase the deficit. After that, Anderson and the Sabres settled down, which included killing a two-man disadvantage late in regulation. The 41-year-old goalie stayed hot with three stops in the shootout to get his second win in three starts. He's up to 5-4-0 with a 2.87 GAA and a .916 save percentage through 10 outings this season. The Sabres are back home to face the Avalanche on Thursday, though it'll likely be Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen making that start.

Anderson will guard the road goal in Wednesday's game versus the Red Wings, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson has alternated starts with Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen over the last six games. In his two outings over that span, Anderson has allowed five goals on 75 shots while going 1-1-0. The 41-year-old faces a Detroit team that has earned at least one point in five of its last six games.

Anderson made 41 saves Friday in a 3-1 loss to the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Jack Hughes' quick release on a passing play from the right face-off circle fooled Anderson two minutes into the second period and a few minutes later, Jesper Boqvist wired a high shot over the netminder's shoulder from inside the left circle to push the score to 2-0. The Sabres got one back before Tomas Tatar finished the scoring late in the same frame by threading a shot inside the far post. Anderson did all he could Friday, but he can't win without support from his team. Anderson has now lost four out of his last five decisions.
