EDGE Analysis

At least when it comes to peripheral stats, December has been the worst month of Anderson's playing career, as he's maintained a 2.97 GAA and .907 save percentage in 88 games played during the final month of the calendar year. The American backstop hasn't won since shutting out the Avalanche -- his former team -- at the home rink Nov. 11, a span of eight games. He'll attempt to right the ship against Team Teal, which is ranked 29th in the league for scoring and 27th in shooting percentage.
