Anderson was designated for the Capitals' taxi squad Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson made eight saves in relief of Vitek Vanecek during Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Sabres after being called up to the active roster in place of the injured Ilya Samsonov (upper body), but the 39-year-old is returning to his usual spot on the taxi squad. He's managed a 2.80 GAA and .881 save percentage behind a 1-1-0 record in three games with the Capitals this season.
