Anderson will guard the goal in Friday's road game against the Hurricanes, Postmedia's Bruce Garrioch reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson has been red-hot in the month of February, posting a 3-1-0 record while maintaining an impressive 1.76 GAA and .944 save percentage over four appearances. The American netminder will look to stay sharp in a road matchup with a Hurricanes team that's 17-8-2 at home this season.

Anderson made 29 saves in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson's shutout bid was quashed 6:37 into the third period on a Travis Zajac power-play goal. The veteran was flawless besides that in helping his team pick up a victory despite being out-shot 30-23. He hasn't missed a beat since returning from a two-month absence, winning three of four starts while allowing only seven goals.

Anderson will tend the twine for Tuesday's tilt with New Jersey, Bruce Garrioch of TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson's start will be just his fourth since returning to the team after dealing with a personal matter, and he has been stellar so far, going 2-1-0 with a 2.00 GAA and .937 save percentage. Further adding to Anderson's fantasy stock, the Devils are 29th in the league in scoring, averaging just 2.29 goals per game.

Anderson made 34 saves in a 6-3 win over Toronto on Saturday night.
EDGE Analysis
The game was much closer than the score indicates -- two of the Sens' goals went into an empty net. Anderson is 14-7-1 on the season and is a great play when he's in the blue paint.

Anderson will guard the goal in Saturday's road game against the Maple Leafs, Dean Brown of TSN 1200 reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson was shaky in his last start, surrendering three goals on 25 shots en route to a 3-2 loss to the Sabres on Tuesday. The American goaltender will look to bounce back and pick up his 14th win of the season in a tough road matchup with a Maple Leafs team that's averaging 3.15 goals per game this season, eighth in the NHL.

Anderson made just 22 saves on 25 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 home loss to Buffalo.
EDGE Analysis
He let Ryan O'Reilly score just 24 seconds in, then got a couple goals of support while locking things down through the second intermission. It all came apart in the third, though, as Anderson let the Sabres tie the game just 51 seconds into the final frame, and he gave up the game-winner less than seven minutes afterward. This wasn't the best encore to the 33-save shutout that he spun upon returning from a lengthy personal absence Saturday, but Anderson's generally been terrific when he's played this year, so fantasy owners should remain optimistic about his prospects.

Anderson will be between the pipes for Tuesday's tilt against Buffalo, Bruce Garrioch of TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
In his first start after a two month gap to take care of his ailing wife, Anderson stopped all 33 shots he faced en route to a shutout win. The Sabres are 24th in the league with 2.45 goals per game, giving Anderson a solid opportunity to keep rolling in his return.

Anderson returned to action Saturday after a 26-game absence and promptly bricked up the Ottawa net, making 33 saves in a 3-0 win over the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
The crowd in Ottawa chanted Anderson's name as he waited to come out to be recognized as the game's first star. He was absent from the team to care for his wife as she battled throat cancer and the hometown crowd let him know how much they cared. Anderson is a must-play while he's in uniform.

Anderson (personal) will make his long-awaited return to game action Saturday, facing the Islanders at home for a matinee, TSN's Brent Wallace reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson was held out for 26 consecutive games as he tended to his wife, who was diagnosed with cancer. Fortunately, news has been positive on the personal front, and the starting goalie is ready to rock after focusing on his conditioning this past week. There's always some degree of uncertainty of how a given player will perform after any kind of extensive layoff, but it's worth noting that Anderson was brilliant at times in his first 19 games of the 2016-17 campaign, fashioning a 12-6-1 record to go along with a 2.46 GAA and .924 save percentage. His first game back comes against an Islanders team ranked seventh in the league with an average of 2.98 goals per game.

Anderson (personal) continues to work on his conditioning, and head coach Guy Boucher said the veteran netminder will be reevaluated next week, Ken Warren of the Ottawa Citizen reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson has been on the ice for six straight days. He has missed the past two months due to a personal issue. It's unclear when Anderson will be able to return to game action, or if he'll need a conditioning stint in the minors. Either way, he is closing in on a return and Mike Condon's fantasy value is about to take a hit. Let Anderson knock off the rust in an NHL game or two before pulling the trigger on him for fantasy purposes.
