EDGE Analysis

It was his first game against the Sens since he left them after the 2019-20 season; he had played 10 seasons with them before inking a one-year deal with the Caps in early 2021. Anderson was beaten on a beauty top shelf backhand by Zach Sanford at 16:04 of the second and a deflection by Austin Watson at 10:49 of the third. Anderson is the Sens franchise leader in games played (435), starts (422) and wins (202). Since returning from injury, he is 2-2 for the Sabres, but the wins came against the lowly Yotes and Habs.
