Anderson picked up his third consecutive win to open the season Tuesday despite posting another poor stat line, as he allowed four goals on 35 shots in a 7-4 victory over the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Three games into the season, Anderson owns a hideous stat line -- an .887 save mark and 3.56 GAA usually send owners running -- but the Sens have flashed a dynamic offense that's left the veteran netminder in the win column every time. He'll need to play better because Ottawa can't always score this much, but backup Andrew Hammond isn't likely to mount a major challenge for Anderson's playing time.

Anderson will guard the net for Tuesday night's game against the Coyotes, Gord Wilson of TSN 1200 reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson didn't look great in his first two starts, posting a 3.33 GAA and a .887 save percentage. Despite that, he boasts a 2-0 record and will look to make it three in a row against the Coyotes who, as Wilson adds, he's 4-9-1 against in his career.

Anderson stopped 21-of-24 shots Saturday in a 4-3 shootout win over the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
It was a decent rebound from Wednesday's thrashing at the hands of the Leafs Auston Matthews. Anderson's save percentage remains well below .900 despite earning his second win in as many games.

Anderson will make his second consecutive start for the Senators on Saturday, facing the visiting Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
You probably didn't even have to watch the Senators' season opener Wednesday to learn that Anderson was shredded by Leafs rookie Auston Matthews to the tune of four goals. He was solid otherwise in that game, but we advise that you leave him on the bench if at all possible since he's historically had troubles stopping the Habs -- the 8-8-2 record, .899 save percentage, and 2.64 GAA in 19 career games against them is worrisome.

Anderson stopped 34 of 38 shots during Wednesday's 5-4 overtime win against the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson is now on the wrong side of history, but he was still able to pick up the win. In case you didn't hear or see, Auston Matthews scored four goals in his debut, the first player in NHL history to do so. The netminder looked sharp otherwise, but couldn't contain the hype. Thankfully, the 35-year-old won't see the youngster often, and owners should expect improvement from Anderson's Opening Night performance as the Sens move forward.

Anderson will start in the blue paint Wednesday for the season opener against the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson should serve as the team's top netminder this season but Andrew Hammond does have a history of some decent stretches in goal behind him. The veteran will look to get things starts on the right path Wednesday and gets treated to a subpar Maple Leafs club that could put him position for a win.

Anderson gave up four goals on 25 shots during Friday's 4-2 preseason loss to Buffalo.
EDGE Analysis
Appearing in his second preseason game, Anderson struggled against a lethal Buffalo offense. Six goals in two games isn't ideal, and may be a small sample size, but the 35-year-old looks on par to repeat last year's 2.78 GAA. Inconsistent play plagued the netminder in 2015-16, however Andrew Hammond isn't much of a threat to his No. 1 status, allowing owners to exhale in the meantime. The 2001 third-round pick will look to start out sharp on Opening Night.

Anderson turned away 28 of 30 shots during Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win against Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
It was Anderson's first action of the preseason after being away from the team for personal reasons. The Sens have had their fair share of overtime thrillers during the preliminary games, but haven't been able to pick up the win until their starting netminder stepped between the pipes. The 35-year-old didn't look rusty and aims to bounce back from a relatively disappointing campaign in 2015-16.

Head coach Guy Boucher said that Anderson will play a full game in Saskatoon on Tuesday against Toronto, Ian Mendes of TSN 1200 reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson missed three preseason contests in a row due to a personal issue, but returned to practice on Monday. The goalie had 30 wins in the 2015-16 season with a 2.78 GAA. He is projected to get most of the starts in 2016-17 for the Senators, which should give him decent fantasy production.

Anderson (personal) is back with the Senators and took part in practice Monday, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson missed the last three preseason contests while away from the team but his absence should have minimal impact on his availability for the start of the season. The netminder is coming off a decent 2015-16 campaign in which he managed to tally 30 wins despite posting a 2.78 GAA. While he may be outside of the top tier of goalies, the 35-year-old should continue to see the vast majority of starts for the Sens, which boosts his fantasy value.
