Anderson wins the Bill Masterton Trophy for his perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication during a difficult personal season.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson appeared in just 40 games for the Senators, but was outstanding during his limited appearances, finishing with a 25-11-4 record, a 2.28 GAA and .926 save percentage. His .941 save percentage at even strength was also the best in the league, ahead of Sergei Bobrosvky and well ahead of Jennings Trophy winner Braden Holtby. Anderson was supposed to take an extended leave of absence when his wife, Nicholle, was diagnosed with throat cancer right before the season, but was pressed into action in late October when Andrew Hammond suffered a groin injury. He then took two months off between December and February to care for wife, but made a triumphant return with a 33-save shutout against the Islanders before winning eight of his next 10 games and ultimately backstopping the Sens to an Eastern Conference finals berth.
