Anderson scored a power-play goal on three shots to go along with five hits and four PIM in Sunday's 5-3 loss to Boston.
EDGE Analysis

Anderson scored a goal on two shots, levied four hits and blocked two shots in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson's 100th career goal came in unconventional fashion, as a Jeff Petry shot redirected in off the winger's knee. They all count the same, though it took parts of eight seasons for Anderson to reach the three-digit milestone. The 27-year-old has been effective in a middle-six role this season with 28 points, 130 shots on net, 130 hits, 55 PIM and a minus-22 rating through 60 contests.

EDGE Analysis
Anderson was set free on a pass from Mike Hoffman, and he beat Brian Elliott five-hole. He completed the first of two Montreal comebacks in the game. It was the second goal in the last four games for Anderson, who was recently dropped from the first to second line amid a nine-game drought during which he had just one assist.

Anderson scored a goal on four shots, levied three hits, blocked two shots and added two PIM in Sunday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson started the Canadiens' comeback in the second period with his first goal in 10 games since his March 1 hat trick. The 27-year-old winger had just one assist in that span and missed two contests with a lower-body injury. For the season, he's at 16 tallies, 26 points, 119 shots, 116 hits, 55 PIM and a minus-21 rating in 53 outings. Anderson is still seeing top-line time even though his offense has been missing in action.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson scored three goals, including one on the power play, on four shots in Tuesday's 8-4 loss to the Jets. He added one hit and four penalty minutes over 19:32 of ice time.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson's first NHL hat trick helped the Canadiens overcome a 4-0 deficit, but Winnipeg kept coming and snapped Montreal's five-game win streak. The winger has found his scoring touch of late, posting six goals on 11 shots over the last five contests. He's skating on the Habs' top line, which also features Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield, which have been hot under interim head coach Martin St. Louis. Anderson leads the team with 15 goals, and Tuesday's power-play tally was his first of the season.
