Anderson is being evaluated for an upper-body injury sustained in Tuesday's game versus the Hurricanes, Arpon Basu of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Per Eric Engels of Sportsnet, Anderson went face first into the boards during the third period. He needed some help to the locker room but was able to skate off on his own. If the 30-year-old winger can't play Thursday versus the Sharks, the Canadiens may need to call up a forward unless Kirby Dach (lower body) or Michael Pezzetta (lower body) get cleared to play.

Anderson scored a goal, added two PIM, logged three hits and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

The goal snapped a 10-game point drought for Anderson. Despite the streaky offense, his usage has remained consistent -- he's been a middle-six option for the Canadiens throughout the campaign. The 30-year-old winger is at nine goals, 19 points, 80 shots on net, 124 hits, 58 PIM and a minus-9 rating over 57 appearances. His shot volume has dropped this season, so while he's on pace for a better campaign than his 20-point effort of 78 contests in 2023-24, a return to his peak as a 20-goal threat is unlikely with his current deployment.

Anderson (undisclosed) is set to play Saturday versus New Jersey, according to Jonathan Bernier of Le Journal de Montreal.

EDGE Analysis

Despite being a game-time decision after missing the morning skate, Anderson won't miss any playing time. He has eight goals, 18 points, 54 PIM and 110 hits in 48 outings in 2024-25. Anderson will play on the third line alongside Jake Evans and Joel Armia.

Anderson (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision ahead of Saturday's matchup with the Devils, per Priyanta Emrith of SportsNet.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear when Anderson suffered the injury, but his status for Saturday's game appears to be in question. The winger has eight goals and 18 points in 48 games this season.

Anderson registered an assist, two hits and four PIM in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson has logged three points, 10 PIM and 12 hits over his last six contests. The pesky third-line winger has chipped in decent depth offense this season with 18 points over 46 appearances. He also has 60 shots on net, 104 hits, 54 PIM and a minus-7 rating. Anderson won't help in all fantasy formats, but he's a useful depth forward for those managers in need of some grit.

Anderson had a goal on one shot and four hits in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson gathered a loose puck along the boards out near the point, then deked Max Domi before scoring a backhander. The tally came just nine seconds after Patrik Laine's power-play marker, and it gave Montreal a 3-0 first-period lead. The goal was Anderson's second in the last five outings and eighth of the season. The four hits bumped him up to 102, the eighth time in nine NHL seasons he's dished out more than 100 hits. The lone campaign in which he didn't reach that mark was 2019, when Anderson was limited to 26 games (68 hits).

Anderson scored a shorthanded goal on one shot and added a hit in Friday's 3-2 overtime win over the Capitals.

It's been a minute since Anderson found the back of the net; he snapped a nine-game, 18-shot drought to give Montreal a 2-1 lead in the second period. Anderson has seven tallies and nine assists through 41 outings.

Anderson recorded an assist, two hits, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Lightning.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson has four points over his last seven games, and he's added 13 hits in that span. The 30-year-old winger is starting to look a little better in a third-line role, though it helps the Canadiens have scored at least four goals in six straight contests. He's at 14 points, 45 shots on net, 42 PIM, 84 hits and a minus-3 rating through 36 appearances this season.

Anderson scored a goal on one shot in Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Sabres.

Anderson scored a goal on one shot in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Jets. He added one block, five hits and two PIM.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson smoked a rebound past Connor Hellebuyck to close Winnipeg's lead to 3-2 midway through the third period. The goal snapped an 11-game run without a tally and put an end to a nine-game slide without a point. Anderson has 36 shots on net over 30 outings, on pace for the lowest shot volume per game of his career. The rest of Anderson's game hasn't been affected by the scoring issues; the five hits Saturday increased his season total to a team-high 76.
