EDGE Analysis

This effectively rules Anderson out of Tuesday's away game against the Hurricanes. The veteran goalie reportedly is making "strong improvements" in his recovery from a lower-body injury that he sustained in a game March 1 and caused him to miss the last three contests. Of course, at this point, he's no lock to start in his first game upon returning.
