Anderson is on track to defend the cage in Wednesday's clash with the Stars, Dean Brown of TSN 1200 reports.
EDGE Analysis
If, as expected, Anderson gets the starting nod, he will be going for his fifth consecutive win. In his previous four outings, the netminder has been stellar with a 1.50 GAA and .948 save percentage.

Anderson saved 25 of 27 shots during Monday's win over Boston.
EDGE Analysis
Since returning from a personal leave from the team, Anderson has gone 7-2 with a .944 save percentage and 1.78 GAA. His track record suggests that he's capable of extremely hot stretches but not being able to sustain them for a prolonged period of time. Still, with Ottawa playing its best hockey in a decade, Anderson should be viewed as a fringe No. 1 goalie for your virtual club going forward.

Anderson will tend the twine for Monday's divisional contest with Boston.
EDGE Analysis
Since rejoining the team Feb. 11, Anderson has been downright dominant in his eight starts since then, posting a 6-2-0 record to go along with a 1.75 GAA and .946 save percentage. That being said, the Bruins have been surging since Bruce Cassidy took over behind the bench, going 8-2-0 and scoring 3.7 goals per game in that span.

Andersen made 25 saves Saturday in a 3-2 win over Columbus.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen has three-straight wins, a span where he has allowed four goals total. And he is 6-2 in eight starts since his returned to action. Andersen is playing like a superstar right now and should be deployed as such.

Anderson will guard the cage in Saturday's home game against the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson has been red-hot of late, compiling a 4-1-0 record while maintaining an impressive 1.80 GAA and .948 save percentage over his last five appearances. The American netminder will look to keep rolling and pick up his 18th win of the campaign in a tough home matchup with a formidable Blue Jackets offense that's averaging 3.07 goals per game on the road this season, third in the NHL.

Anderson made 22 saves in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson wasn't very busy, as his team held a 42-23 shot advantage. His shutout bid was halted by Rene Bourque 5:25 into the third period, but the veteran netminder shut the door from there to hold on for his fifth win in seven starts since returning from a two-month absence. The Senators attempted to bolster their subpar offense at Wednesday's trade deadline, and those efforts paid immediate dividends with newcomer Alex Burrows scoring both of their goals in this one. Given Anderson's 2.26 GAA and .930 save percentage, an improved offense would lead to plenty of wins down the stretch.

Anderson will tend the twine for Thursday's clash with Colorado.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson is 4-2-0 in his return to the team, including a 1.84 GAA and .947 save percentage. The netminder will look to improve upon that record against the last-place Avs, who are averaging a disastrous 1.98 goals per game.

Anderson stopped 37 of 38 shots in Sunday's win over the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
A monstrous showing from Anderson, who picked up his 16th win of the season. The 35-year-old has been outstanding since returning from his absence and should be started with confidence every night. With the Senators sitting second in the Atlantic Division and battling for a playoff spot, Anderson and his .929 save percentage will be a very valuable fantasy asset down the stretch.

Anderson will guard the net Sunday against the Panthers, George Richards of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Despite setting aside 41 shots against the Hurricanes on Friday, Anderson let in three goals and took a loss in the contest. He'll look for a turnaround Sunday against a Panthers club that's lost two straight following a five-game winning streak.

Anderson allowed three goals on 44 shots in Friday's 3-0 loss against the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson was bombarded all night by a hungry young Canes team and his offense did nothing to support him. Since coming back after a two-month absence due to personal family concerns he has been rock solid. The veteran has re-emerged as a must-start fantasy option with just 10 goals allowed in his five starts since returning.
