Anderson (upper body) may be ready to play versus the Islanders on Monday with the team "pretty optimistic" he'll be in the lineup, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson has missed the last eight games due to his upper-body issue but appears to be at least a game-time call versus the Islanders. If Anderson suits up, it will likely come at the expense of Jacob Moverare, though the Kings may opt to deploy seven defensemen instead to ease Anderson back into the mix.
