Anderson was beaten six times on 40 shots in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson came in having allowed a total of two goals in consecutive wins after going nine appearances without a victory, but any momentum from that recent turnaround was erased here. While Ottawa actually grabbed a 3-1 lead 5:44 into the middle frame, Minnesota came storming back while tying Anderson's season high of six goals allowed. With his team mired in an extended slump, it's tough to trust the 36-year-old goaltender right now.

Anderson will defend the cage against the Wild on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson is coming off a 28-save, shutout performance versus Montreal on Saturday -- his second game of the season in which he didn't give up a goal. Minnesota is throwing the fewest pucks at the net of any team in the league (28.6), which means if could be a light workload for the backstop, as he looks to register win No. 10 of the year.

Anderson bricked up the Senators net Saturday and delivered 28 saves in the NHL100 Classic against the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

The game was incredibly cold -- the temperature at puck drop was 12. 5 degrees Fahrenheit which made it the second-coldest outdoor game in NHL history. Anderson didn't see a lot of action in stretches, but he somehow maintained his focus through the cold. It was his second shutout of the season.

Anderson is the designated puck stopper Saturday for a home game against the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran backstop defeated the Rangers on Wednesday for his first win in 10 games, so Senators coach Guy Boucher will go right back to Anderson to see if he can build some positive momentum as the new year approaches. Montreal averages 34.2 shots per game, but a poor conversion percentage of 7.9 has led to the Habs featuring just the 25th-best offense in the league this campaign. A high-volume, low-scoring matchup is generally what DFS players hope for when streaming a goalie.

Anderson stopped 27 of 29 shots in a 3-2 win over the Rangers on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

It's Anderson's best performance as a starter in almost a month, as he hadn't had a save percentage better than .917 as a starter since Nov. 19, also against the Rangers. If Anderson is back on form, it'll be huge for a struggling Senators squad as well as his owners, but he's got to show this form against someone besides New York before owners can trust him.

Anderson will start between the pipes in Wednesday's home game against the Rangers, per the Ottawa Citizen.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson has been struggling for nearly a month, suffering seven consecutive defeats while posting a sub-par 3.29 GAA and .896 save percentage in nine appearances. However, it's hard to put the blame squarely on the veteran netminder's shoulders, as he's been hung out too dry far too often by his teammates during the Senators' losing streak. The American backstop will look to right the ship and pick up his eighth victory of the campaign Wednesday in a tough home matchup with a Rangers team that's averaging 3.20 goals per game on the road this season, fourth in the NHL.

Anderson stopped 45 of 50 shots in Saturday's loss to the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

It's easy to point the finger at Anderson for the loss, but the Senators were outshot 50-25 and really didn't do much to help their netminder. The veteran has had a tough go this year, managing a 7-10-3 record with a .895 save percentage. He's turned in a few strong outings, but until things improve for Ottawa, it's probably best to shy away from Anderson in most fantasy settings.

Anderson was designated as Saturday's road starter versus the Sharks, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.

EDGE Analysis

At least when it comes to peripheral stats, December has been the worst month of Anderson's playing career, as he's maintained a 2.97 GAA and .907 save percentage in 88 games played during the final month of the calendar year. The American backstop hasn't won since shutting out the Avalanche -- his former team -- at the home rink Nov. 11, a span of eight games. He'll attempt to right the ship against Team Teal, which is ranked 29th in the league for scoring and 27th in shooting percentage.

Anderson made 19 saves on 21 shots in a 3-0 loss to the Ducks on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

That's seven appearances in a row without a win for Anderson. He's also still posting a GAA above 3.00 and a save percentage below .900. While the veteran American netminder has not had a season like this since 2013-14 (3.00 GAA, .911 save percentage), the longer Anderson struggles, the harder it becomes to believe he'll turn it around.

Anderson will guard the goal in Wednesday's road game against the Ducks, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson has been struggling for several weeks, compiling an 0-5-0 record while registering a sub-par 3.20 GAA and .893 save percentage in seven appearances. The veteran goaltender will look to get back on track Wednesday in a road matchup with a Ducks team that's only averaging 2.60 goals per game at home this season, 26th in the NHL.
