Anderson (shoulder) might not resume skating until after Chicago's five-game road trip concludes with a game against New Jersey on Jan. 5, Charlie Roumeliotis of NBC Sports Chicago reports Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson isn't likely to return until Jan. 7 versus Calgary at the earliest, and it wouldn't be surprising if he's out for longer than that. The 25-year-old has five assists in 13 contests this season. Anderson's likely to serve as a bottom-six forward once he's available.
