Anderson had one goal on five shots along with a hit and a blocked shot in Monday's 3-2 overtime win over the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson logged his third goal in the last two games, giving him 14 markers in 32 contests. He becomes a more important factor in Montreal's offense after the team lost Brendan Gallagher to a fractured thumb during the game. Gallagher's absence is being measured in weeks.

The winger had picked up just two points in his last five outings, so this was a welcome burst of offense. He's up to 11 tallies, 16 points, 69 shots on net, 69 hits and 23 PIM in 25 outings. Monday was just the second time this year Anderson failed to record a hit.

Anderson (lower body) won't play Thursday versus Winnipeg.

EDGE Analysis

Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reported Saturday that Anderson will be back within a week, but the 26-year-old is nevertheless expected to miss a second straight game.

EDGE Analysis

That doesn't completely rule Anderson out for Tuesday's game versus the Senators. The 26-year-old has played in a top-six role this season, with 12 points, 49 shots on goal and 56 hits through 19 appearances. Jake Evans will likely see more playing time with Anderson out.
