Coach Guy Boucher does not expect Anderson (personal) to return to the team "for a little while," Steve Lloyd of TSN 1200 reports.

EDGE Analysis

The ambiguity of Boucher's statement indicates that there's no immediate timetable for Anderson's return, as there shouldn't be while he continues to be with his wife during her battle with cancer. The 35-year-old backstop is the definite starter in Ottawa, but there's no telling when he will be back to reclaim that role if he does indeed come back at all this season.
