Anderson (upper body) flew with the team to Boston but will not play Wednesday night against the Bruins, Pat Hickey of the Montreal Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson returned to practice this week and wore a non-contact jersey, and the Canadiens expect him back sometime next week. He is tied with Nick Suzuki for the team lead with seven goals while playing seven fewer games. Montreal is on a road trip that extends through Jan. 24.
