Anderson will start in net Saturday night, opposing the Blue Jackets on the road, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Despite the Blue Jackets toiling near the bottom of the league standings with 50 points, this might not be a cake walk for Anderson. After all, he's posted a 3.15 GAA through five starts in February, and Columbus has gone 5-3-2 in the past 10 matches.

Anderson allowed two goals on 28 shots in a 3-1 loss to the Red Wings on Wednesday. The third goal was an empty-netter.
EDGE Analysis
Despite the loss, Anderson has now played well in the three games since a stinker against Edmonton on Feb. 4, where he allowed three goals on 10 shots. He's allowed just four goals combined over three starts against Toronto, Tampa Bay and Detroit -- two of which were wins -- while recording a .954 save percentage in the process. To date, the veteran owns a 22-18-4 record with a 2.84 GAA and .914 save percentage and has started the last seven games for the Sens.

Anderson will start Wednesday against the Red Wings, Don Brennan of the Ottawa Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
After a pair of tough games to open February, giving up nine goals in fewer than four periods of work, Anderson has bounced back with a pair of wins, giving up just one goal in each. With a back-to-back coming up, Anderson gets the front end. He's 0-1-1 in two starts against the Wings this season, giving up nine goals and holding a .862 save percentage in those games. He has a 22-17-4 record with a 2.86 GAA and a .914 save percentage this season.

Anderson stopped 31 of 32 shots in Monday night's 5-1 win over the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson's dominant showing improved his GAA to 2.86, but he still ranks 38th in the league in that category. Even so, the Senators are showing patience with him as he's made 43 out of a possible 54 starts in 2015-16.

Anderson will start in goal Monday against the Lightning, Steve Lloyd of TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson continues to work as the primary netminder for the Senators, and he'll give it another go Monday following a nice start against the Maple Leafs in which he allowed just one goal on 27 shots. However, the netminder allowed three goals on 10 shots and six goals on 44 shots in his two previous outings, so it's probably best to temper expectations for Anderson heading into a matchup with a Lightning club that's scored nine goals over two February contests.

Anderson delivered a 26-save performance Saturday in a 6-1 victory over the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
He got just what the doctor ordered to right his game -- the Leafs. Anderson had allowed 12 goals in his last three starts and was pounded by the Oilers in just 12 minutes of action his last time out. He's a bit too inconsistent for us to recommend right now, but perhaps this win will help Anderson finish the season strong.

Anderson will start in goal Saturday night, taking on the Maple Leafs in front of the home crowd.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson was lit up by the Penguins and Oilers in his first two starts this month, yielding 13 goals combined and losing both games. On paper, Anderson's draw against the Buds on Saturday seems slightly favorable. After all, Toronto is 27th in goals per game and 21st in goals-against, but it's worth noting that the Maple Leafs have won two straight and edged a competitive Bruins team just this past Tuesday. With 12 games on the slate Saturday, you're bound to find a more attractive goalie play than Anderson.

Anderson lasted just 11:41 into Thursday's game against Edmonton, giving up three goals on 10 shots in an eventual 7-2 loss.
EDGE Analysis
This makes three consecutive losses for Anderson, who's been tagged for a cool dozen goals in that span. He's been pulled early on twice in his last five starts and has a save percentage under .900 over his last 10. All that considered, backup Andrew Hammond would be primed to take over, except that he's been no better, including giving up four goals in relief Thursday.

Anderson will start in goal Thursday against the Oilers, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson's first start of the second half left much to be desired, allowing six goals on 44 shots against the Penguins to drop his record to 20-16-4 on the season. Despite the effort, the Senators will turn his way again Thursday against an Oilers club that's been surprisingly productive away from home this season, averaging 3.19 goals per game.

Anderson will protect the net on Tuesday at Pittsburgh.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson gave up three goals on 22 shots faced in a loss to Buffalo in his last start Jan 26. The 34-year-old veteran netminder has compiled a 20-15-4 record this season with a .915 save percentage and 2.81 GAA. He draws a matchup against a Penguins team Tuesday that is currently tied for fourth place in the Metropolitan Division. Anderson faced Pittsburgh once earlier this season, giving up two goals on 36 shots in a loss Oct. 15.
