Craig Anderson (ankle) said he's "anxious" to finally get back in net after missing 18 games. "It has been a long time now and I've watched a lot of hockey. It's about time for me to get that feeling back, where I can help the team and feel like I'm accomplishing something," Anderson said Thursday. Anderson is expected to be activated in time for Friday night's game against Buffalo and could start against the Sabres. The Senators traded goalie Ben Bishop on Wednesday, leaving Anderson and Robin Lehner as Ottawa's goalies for the remainder of the season.
