Anderson gave up three goals on 22 shots Tuesday in a 3-2 loss to visiting Buffalo.
EDGE Analysis
Despite a shutout against the Rangers two days prior to this outing, Anderson heads into the All-Star break on a down note -- he's given up three or more goals in five of his last six starts. With Anderson's difficulties getting on (and staying on) a roll, Andrew Hammond would have a chance to work his way into a bigger role, but Hammond has struggled as well. That leaves the Sens in a funny spot as the trade deadline continues approaching -- they're not far out of a playoff spot, but with neither goalie getting it done, they may need to make a trade to create some positive momentum in net.

Anderson will protect the net on Monday against Buffalo.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson was perfect in his last outing, stopping everything the Rangers could throw at him. It was the third win in the netminder's last five contests, despite recording a 3.25 GAA over that stretch. The 34-year-old opened the season against the Sabres, allowing a mere one goal on 27 shots.

Anderson stopped all 35 shots he faced in Sunday's win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
It was a huge bounce-back performance for Anderson, as he entered the contest having allowed 14 goals total in his last four starts. The 34-year-old has largely been inconsistent on the season with three shutouts and 20 wins but also sporting a 2.80 GAA as he continues to see the majority of starts over Andrew Hammond.

Anderson will be in the crease for Sunday's tilt with the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson will be looking to bounce back from Thursday's debacle in New Jersey, where he allowed four goals on seven shots. The Rangers will be without Rick Nash, which bodes well for Anderson's fantasy prospects. That being said, Anderson and his 2.88 GAA have been nowhere near consistent enough to be relied upon in fantasy this season.

After surrendering four goals on seven shots, Anderson was pulled 14 minutes into Tuesday's 6-3 loss to New Jersey.
EDGE Analysis
After a tough week, everything came to a head for Anderson, who has surrendered at least three goals in four straight games. Despite the American netminder's struggles, the defense has left him to dry and has allowed 30 shots in four of his last five starts. After Anderson's rather embarrassing first-period meltdown, expect Andrew Hammond to see the crease sooner rather than later.

Anderson will get the start in goal on Thursday against the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
With three games in four days, Anderson gets the call for the first game against the Devils. He's 19-13-4 with a 2.79 GAA and a .916 save percentage, but has managed to hold off Andrew Hammond for full control of the starting job. Despite going 2-1 in his last three starts, he's given up three or more goals in each on the team's West Coast swing.

Anderson turned aside 32 of 35 shots in Monday's win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson allowed three straight tallies after his offensive staked him out to a 2-0 lead, but the Senators rallied with a late goal and ended up taking the contest in a shootout. The 34-year-old has now won consecutive starts and three of his last four while drawing the majority of starts over Andrew Hammond.

Anderson will be starting in goal for Monday's game against San Jose, Wayne Scanlan of the Ottawa Citizen reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson started on Saturday against the Kings, and will continue his run in goal Monday against the Sharks. Anderson has a 3.29 GAA in away games and a 2.30 rate on home ice thus far in the season.

Anderson will draw a road start Saturday afternoon against the Kings, Don Brennan of the Ottawa Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson was decent while facing the Kings last month, stopping 33 of 36 shots on the way to a home win. Naturally, Anderson is much worse on the road as he has a 3.29 GAA away from Ottawa as compared to a 2.30 rate at home this season.

Anderson dropped to 17-13-4 by surrendering four goals on 38 shots to the Ducks on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson was matching Anaheim counterpart Frederik Andersen with one goal allowed until Anaheim used a three-goal flurry in the final five minutes to pull away. Much like the spelling of his last name, poor performances have been all too common for Anderson this season, as he has given up three or more goals 20 times in 34 appearances. The veteran still has 17 wins despite leading the league in goals allowed, although Ottawa's offensive struggles to open 2016 have left Anderson at 1-3-0 in the new year.
