Anderson (undisclosed) hasn't been ruled out of the final two games of the season, but he isn't expected to be available Thursday against the Bruins, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Although Anderson almost certainly won't start against Boston, he could make one last appearance for the campaign Friday versus Chicago. The 40-year-old vet has gone 17-12-2 while posting a 3.12 GAA and an .897 save percentage through 31 contests this season.

Anderson (undisclosed) is considered day-to-day and won't dress for Saturday's game against the Islanders, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Anderson sidelined, Dustin Tokarski will start in goal against the Isles with Aaron Dell serving as his backup. Anderson will be reevaluated ahead of Thursday's matchup with Boston.

Anderson made 29 saves in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson was spotted a 3-0 lead in the second period, helping himself in the process by assisting on Kyle Okposo's shorthanded goal to open the scoring. The Devils pushed back with a pair of goals sandwiched around the second intermission, but Anderson prevented them from tying the game before Buffalo extended its lead again. The veteran netminder has three wins in his last four starts and is 9-4-2 in his last 15 decisions.

Anderson will start Thursday in New Jersey, Jourdon LaBarber of the Sabres' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
With a 4-3-0 record over his last seven despite an ugly 3.44 GAA and .875 save percentage during that span, Anderson has been getting plenty of goal support from the Sabres offense recently. He'll look to tidy things up in the crease against a Devils squad that's averaged a 23rd-ranked 2.96 goals for since March 1.

Anderson made 18 saves in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson allowed two goals in the first 3:55 but settled down and only gave up one more the rest of the way. The Buffalo offense provided four goals of support in the second to lift Anderson to his fourth win in the 40-year-old netminder's past seven starts. Anderson's playing some inspired hockey down the stretch of what could be his final season, but he'll likely cede the crease to Dustin Tokarski for Sunday's rematch in Philly.

Anderson will guard the home goal Saturday versus the Flyers, Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson struggled against the Blues in his last outing, allowing five goals on 27 shots. The 40-year-old has a significantly more favorable matchup against the lowly Flyers on Saturday, so he could be a solid budget option in DFS.

Anderson stopped 22 out of 27 shots in Thursday's 6-2 loss to St. Louis.
EDGE Analysis
Buffalo actually outshot St. Louis 37-28, but Anderson allowed five goals (with another scored on an empty net) en route to his third loss in his last four starts. Over that stretch, the veteran netminder has struggled to a .857 save percentage. It'll be difficult to trust Anderson as a reliable goaltending option moving forward.

Anderson will guard the home goal Thursday versus the Blues, Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson has won three of his last five starts, but he's allowed 16 goals in that span. The Blues have been rolling lately -- they're on a six-game winning streak entering Thursday, so Anderson is a risky fantasy play.

Anderson made 24 saves in a 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson played a solid game against an opponent that just couldn't seem to get their game going. He was beaten by Timothy Liljegren at 2:09 of the second when the defender snuck in, picked up a rebound off the end boards and and banked a shot off Anderson's left pad from the goal line. Alexander Kerfoot made the score 4-2 at 8:55 of the third -- Anderson got most of the puck but it rolled off him and just crossed the goal line. Anderson is now 3-2-0 over his last five starts and pushing to prove he can be the mentor for Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen for next season, even into his 40s.

Anderson will guard the road goal Tuesday versus the Maple Leafs, Terry Koshan of The Toronto Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson has allowed nine goals on 59 shots across his last two starts. He'll get another tough matchup Tuesday against the Maple Leafs and the red-hot Auston Matthews, so Anderson isn't the best of options in fantasy on a 14-game day.
