Anderson will be the home starter against the Canadiens on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson's last two starts have been stellar, but there's still reason for skepticism. The 37-year-old did post a 3.32 GAA and .898 save percentage last year, after all. Plus, even with his two excellent games in a row, he still has a 3.25 GAA this season.

Anderson allowed just one goal on 38 shots in Monday's 4-1 win over Dallas.
EDGE Analysis
After the Flyers drilled him for six goals on Oct. 10, Anderson has won back-to-back starts, allowing just two goals on 75 shots against the Kings and Stars. He turned aside all 31 shots he faced at even strength Monday, with the lone goal allowed coming on a Dallas power play. Ottawa doesn't play again until Saturday against Montreal, where the 37-year-old should draw the start.

Anderson will start in goal Monday against the visiting Stars, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson was brilliant Saturday, as he stopped 36 of 37 shots to secure a home win against Anze Kopitar and the Kings. The season is still young, but this next start will already be the fifth for the venerable backstop, who has 15 years of experience between the Blackhawks, Panthers, Avalanche and Senators.

Anderson stopped 36 of 37 shots Saturday, helping his team earn a 5-1 home win over Los Angeles.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson faced the usual barrage of shots that come through the Senators' defense, but was brilliant in this contest, posting a .973 save percentage and earning his first home win of the season. He'll have to play like this in order to be of much use to fantasy owners, though, given that the Senators are allowing 38.4 shots per game and have a high-octane Dallas team up next.

Anderson will guard the home goal Saturday against the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson has been pelted by the opposition in each of the first three games this season, facing at least 37 shots in each of the contests and 44 against the Flyers on Wednesday that resulted in six goals. He will face a Kings team that has averaged just 23.0 shots on goal per game through four contests this season, potentially resulting in some relief.

Anderson stopped 38 of 44 shots Wednesday, taking a 7-4 loss to Philadelphia.
EDGE Analysis
For all the talk of "The System" in Ottawa, the Senators have been a sieve this season, allowing a minimum of three goals in every game they've played. Not all of that can be pinned on Anderson, who has faced more than 40 shots in two of his three contests, but the fact is that when he's consistently facing the kind of volume of shots the Senators are allowing, the goals are going to come. Ottawa's defense is just too shaky to trust either Anderson or Mike Condon, and because of that you should plan on having your skaters in the lineup whenever the Senators are their opponent.

Anderson will start between the pipes in Wednesday's home matchup with Philadelphia.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson was pretty solid in his last appearance Saturday against Toronto, stopping 34 or 37 shots en route to a 5-3 win. The American netminder will look to stay dialed in and pick up a second consecutive victory in a home matchup with a Flyers club that has potted seven goals through its first two games of the campaign.

Anderson will be between the pipes against the Maple Leafs on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson faced a ton of rubber in the first game of the season (43 shots), conceding four goals in an overtime loss. If the veteran continues to see that level of workload, he will have a hard time compiling wins this season -- and considering the underwhelming group of defensemen ahead of him, he could see plenty of pucks this year.

Anderson will get the starting nod against the Blackhawks on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson posted a mediocre 23-25-6 record last season with a career-worst 3.32 GAA and now will have to head into this upcoming campaign without Erik Karlsson in front of him. With the Sens in a period of transition, it could be a long season for the veteran netminder.

Anderson made 19 saves and shut out the Canadiens on Saturday night. The Senators won 3-0.
EDGE Analysis
It's no secret that Anderson wants out of Ottawa. But he's 37 and teams just aren't biting. Anderson may be traded during the season, but expect that to be a move to a contender as an insurance policy. His fantasy value to that point will be tied to the play of one of the worst teams in the NHL. Anderson is a tough fantasy own unless you roll three goalies.
