Anderson was assigned to AHL Rockford on Thursday, Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson remained with Chicago after clearing waivers in early December, and he made six appearances for the club since then. He recorded four blocked shots, three hits and a minus-2 rating, and he was held without a point while averaging 7:59 of ice time. He'll be sent down after the Blackhawks recalled Colton Dach on Thursday.

Anderson is expected to remain with the team after clearing waivers Monday, according to Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson has one assist, 13 shots on goal, nine blocked shots and nine hits over 12 appearances with the Blackhawks this season. Chicago has an unspecified game-time decision for Monday's matchup against the Rangers, per Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times, which could put Anderson in the lineup if a forward is unavailable.

Anderson was placed on waivers Sunday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson had been scratched in Chicago's last six games after logging just one assist in 12 games earlier in the year. The 26-year-old winger had five goals and 17 points in 55 games last season.

Anderson has just one assist through his first 12 appearances this season.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson earned that helper Oct. 17 versus the Sharks, then missed the next game due to an illness. He spent nine games out of the lineup, followed by a stretch of seven straight contests in action before sitting out Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Stars. Head coach Luke Richardson hasn't been afraid to scratch virtually anyone this season, so Anderson will need to step up his game the next time he draws in. He's added 13 shots on net, nine hits and nine blocked shots, but it's a disappointing level of production after he had 17 points, 57 shots on net and a plus-5 rating over 55 outings in 2023-24.

Anderson (illness) was on the ice for Monday's practice session, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson missed Saturday's game against the Sabres due to an illness, but it appears likely that he'll be able to return for Tuesday's matchup against the Canucks. Over five appearances this season, the 26-year-old has recorded an assist and four shots on goal.

Anderson (illness) won't play Saturday against the Sabres, Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson will miss his first game this season as he continues to battle an illness. The 26-year-old winger has one assist in five games this campaign. Andreas Athanasiou will draw into Saturday's lineup due to Anderson's absence.

Anderson is under the weather ahead of Saturday's matchup with Buffalo, Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson hasn't exactly impressed through five games this season with just one point and four shots to show for it. Still, the 26-year-old winger managed only 17 points in 55 games last year, so it's not like there were high expectations for a productive campaign. Without a role on the power-play, it seems unlikely Anderson will suddenly start scoring with consistency. If he does miss out Saturday, Andreas Athanasiou would likely step into his spot in the lineup.

Anderson provided an assist and blocked two shots in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson helped out on Jason Dickinson's third-period tally. The assist was Anderson's first point in five contests this season. He's added five hits, six blocked shots, four shots on net and a minus-1 rating while playing on the third line. The 26-year-old looks to be a fixture in the lineup, but playing in a bottom-six role for the Blackhawks is unlikely to lead to significant offense.

Anderson signed a two-year, $1.6 million contract with Chicago on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson re-signed with the Blackhawks on Monday after the organization didn't give him a qualifying offer Sunday. He contributed five goals, 17 points and 57 shots on net over 55 regular-season contests with Chicago in 2023-24. Anderson will likely fill a bottom-six role, as Chicago has bolstered its wing depth with multiple signings on the first day of free agency.

Anderson didn't receive a qualifying offer from Chicago on Sunday, according to Chris Johnston of The Athletic, so he will become an unrestricted free agent.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson will be eligible to explore the open market Monday after posting five goals, 17 points and 57 shots on net over 55 contests with the Blackhawks during the 2023-24 campaign.
