Anderson played unbelievably Sunday, turning aside 40 of 42 shots but it wasn't enough in a 2-1 overtime loss to the visiting Wild.
EDGE Analysis
The barrage of shots against continued for Anderson, who has now faced 32 or more shots in five of his last six starts. The tough-luck loss to the Wild drops his record to 7-3-1 on the year to go with a sterling .934 save percentage and similarly tidy 2.15 GAA, so owners should continue to roll with the veteran until he shows signs of cooling off.

Anderson was designated as the home starter opposite the Wild for Sunday's game.
EDGE Analysis
Ottawa's blue line has more holes than Swiss cheese with Anderson facing 33 shots per game over the past five. However, the veteran in his 14th year has manufactured a .945 save percentage in the month of November (four starts). Anderson catches a Minnesota team that has rattled off four wins in the last six decisions.

Anderson stopped 32 of 33 shots during a win over Los Angeles on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson wasn't his best during his last start against Nashville on Tuesday saving just 27 of 30 shots, but his Friday showing was more of what we've become accustomed to from Anderson in 2016-17. He owns a 7-3 record with a .931 save percentage and checks out as a solid No. 1 goalie in all fantasy settings thus far.

Anderson will start between the pipes in Friday's home game against the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson was a tad shaky in his last outing, surrendering three goals on 30 shots in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Predators. The 35-year-old backstop will look to bounce back in a favorable matchup with a Kings team averaging 2.29 goals per game on the road this season, 21st in the NHL.

Anderson gave up three goals on 30 shots in Tuesday's 3-1 road loss to Nashville.
EDGE Analysis
He'd been absolutely on fire over his past four appearances, posting a .976 save percentage and 0.74 GAA, but all good things must end. Despite the loss, Anderson's been one of the more valuable netminders in fantasy this season behind an Ottawa team that looks like it could be going places.

Anderson will start Tuesday's game against Nashville.
EDGE Analysis
The 35-year-old has been red hot lately, allowing three goals on 124 shots in his last four games. Until he cools off, he is one of the surest starts in fantasy hockey.

Anderson surrendered two goals on 32 shots in Saturday's 2-1 home loss to the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson has allowed only three goals over his past four starts, a stark contrast to his starting the season with a 3.66 GAA after the first four contests. The veteran gave it his all in this latest match, and was simply outdueled by goalie counterpart Robin Lehner.

Anderson (personal) was named the home goalie for Saturday's contest versus the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson understandably left the team Thursday to be with his wife, who has been diagnosed with cancer, but he'll be back between the pipes Saturday for his eighth start of the season. The 35-year-old veteran has been awesome in the early going, having won six games to complement a sturdy 2.24 goals-against average.

Coach Guy Boucher noted that Anderson (personal) is day-to-day and he didn't rule out a return Saturday against the Sabres, Chris Stevenson of TSN 1200 reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson's situation sounds fluid, meaning he could play Saturday or in multiple games. However, the netminder's starting job is safe, so once he does return, the 35-year-old can be plugged back into lineups. Newcomer Mike Condon (shutout in first start) will continue to defend the crease until Anderson is ready to return.

Anderson (personal) has left the team to be with his wife and has no timetable to return, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson courageously gutted out two wins -- one memorable shutout -- after news broke that his wife, Nicholle, had been diagnosed with cancer. With the Sens acquiring Mike Condon from the Penguins, the netminder can comfortably walk away from the team knowing they are in good hands. Owners will want to pick up Condon in the meantime, as the 35-year-old is looking at an extended absence.
