Anderson was the first goaltender off the ice Friday, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports, indicating he will defend the home crease against New Jersey.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson is 4-3-0 with a 2.71 GAA and a .914 save percentage this season. He'll be facing a red-hot Devils team, who had its 13-game winning streak snapped Wednesday in a 2-1 loss to Toronto. The Devils have averaged 3.70 goals per game this season.

Anderson stopped 29 of 31 shots in a 7-2 blowout victory against the Canadiens on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson was excellent Tuesday as he earned Buffalo their first win in almost three weeks. This was not the first rodeo for the 41-year-old netminder, who got his team back on track by posting a .935 save percentage on the night. Anderson now has a winning record of 4-3-0 on the season, with a SV% of .910 and a GAA of 2.82.

Anderson is on track to start between the pipes in Tuesday's road game versus the Canadiens, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson wasn't great in his last start last Tuesday versus Vancouver, surrendering five goals on 32 shots en route to a 5-4 defeat. The 41-year-old vet will try to snap his personal three-game losing streak in a road matchup with a Montreal team that's averaging 3.50 goals per game at home this season, 11th in the NHL.

Anderson stopped 14 of 15 shots after replacing Eric Comrie (undisclosed) in the second period of Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson came in after a collision with Senators forward Mathieu Joseph forced Comrie to exit early. The veteran goalie played well after coming in cold, as Anderson entered trailing 2-1 and the score didn't change until Alex DeBrincat potted an insurance tally off a rebound with 5:39 left in the third. Ottawa tacked on an empty-netter in the final minute to complete the scoring, and Comrie was stuck with the loss since the winning goal came prior to his injury. This was the seventh consecutive loss for the Sabres, so Anderson's upside remains capped, even if Comrie's injury proves serious enough to hand Anderson the starting role for a while.

Anderson made 27 saves during Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson, the NHL's oldest active player, yielded five goals through the opening 28:25, but he blanked the Canucks the rest of the way, allowing the Sabres a chance to rally. It fell short and the Sabres dropped their sixth straight game. The 41-year-old netminder fell to 3-3-0 as the Sabres have yielded 29 goals during the skid.

Anderson will guard the home net Tuesday against Vancouver, per Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News.

EDGE Analysis

It'll be the second start in a row for Anderson, who allowed three goals on 30 shots in a loss Saturday to the Bruins. The 41-year-old netminder has a 3-2-0 record with a strong .922 save percentage while sharing goaltending duties with Eric Comrie.

Anderson made 27 saves in a 3-1 loss to Boston on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Patrice Bergeron beat him twice, once on the power play to open the scoring and again at even strength late to finish things off. Jakub Zboril also tucked one behind him at 12:31 of the third to push Boston out front. The Sabres have lost five consecutive games; two of those have belonged to Anderson. The team needs to tighten things up in all zones in order to make the lives of their netminders a little easier.

Anderson will get the home crease against Boston on Saturday, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson will pick up his fifth start of the campaign in the Sabres' 14th game this season. He is 3-1-0 with a 2.25 GAA and a .927 save percentage. Anderson gave up only two goals in his first two games of the season but has allowed seven goals over his last two games on 58 shots. He faces the red-hot Bruins, who have a 12-2-0 record while averaging 4.07 goals per game this season.

Anderson allowed four goals on 32 shots in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Hurricanes. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

EDGE Analysis

The Hurricanes' top six set the tone in this contest, and the Sabres' offense couldn't match the pace. Anderson had allowed just five goals over his first three starts of the year before taking his first loss Friday. The 41-year-old has essentially slipped into the backup role behind Eric Comrie, who will likely start Saturday's game versus the Lightning to complete the back-to-back set. Anderson has been solid when called upon, but is only a streaming option in season-long formats and a matchup-based play in DFS.

Anderson will be between the visiting pipes against Carolina on Friday, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

It will be Anderson's fourth start of the season. He is a perfect 3-0-0 in 2022-23, stopping 87 of 92 shots in wins over Ottawa, Vancouver and Chicago. It will be a tougher matchup Friday against the Hurricanes, who are currently 7-2-1 while averaging 3.30 goals per game.
