Anderson notched an assist, three shots on goal and two hits in Monday's 6-2 win over the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson didn't miss any time with flu-like symptoms that forced him to exit Saturday's game against the Flames early. That worked out well for the Canadiens, as he fed Nick Suzuki for the opening goal at the one-minute mark of Monday's game. Anderson is up to four goals, two assists, a plus-4 rating, 27 shots and 18 hits through nine contests. He's already eclipsed the four points he had in 26 games last year, which was an injury-riddled campaign for the 26-year-old.

Anderson (illness) is slated to play in Monday's clash with Vancouver, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson -- who was forced to leave Saturday's matchup with Calgary after just 6:06 of ice time -- was back on the ice for Monday's game-day skate and appears ready to rejoin the lineup. In eight contests this year, the 26-year-old winger has garnered four goals on 24 shots, one assist and 16 hits while averaging 13:43 of ice time.

Anderson tested negative for COVID-19 after leaving Saturday's game against the Flames with flu-like symptoms, Eric Engels of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson will be tested again Sunday. His first order of business is to get healthy, but as long as the 26-year-old continues to test negative for COVID-19, he should be back in the lineup once he feels 100 percent. The Canadiens' next scheduled game in Monday against the Canucks.

Anderson (illness) was removed from Saturday's game versus the Flames due to flu-like symptoms, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson tested negative for COVID-19 and will continue to be tested as part of the health protocols, but this appears to be a different illness. The 26-year-old winger will most likely not play in Monday's game versus the Canucks barring a quick turnaround in his health.

Anderson (undisclosed) will not return to Saturday's game versus the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson was injured late in the first period and did not return at the start of the second. The 26-year-old winger has five points in eight appearances this season, so this is a notable loss to the Canadiens' top six. If Anderson isn't ready for Monday's game against the Canucks, Michael Frolik could enter the lineup while Tyler Toffoli could join the second line.

Anderson scored a goal on his only shot and provided two hits in a 4-2 win over Calgary on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson batted a rebound out of mid-air while crashing the net on a 2-on-1, giving Montreal a 3-0 lead midway through the second period. The goal extended Anderson's point streak to three games (two goals, one assist) and gave the first-year Hab five points in his first seven contests with his new club. The 26-year-old battled injuries during his final year in Columbus but produced 27 goals with 60 PIM and a plus-25 rating in 2018-19.

Anderson had an assist, five shots, two hits and a two-minute minor penalty in Saturday's 5-2 win over Vancouver.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson's breakup along Montreal's blue line led to a breakaway for Jonathan Drouin, who expertly deked Braden Holtby for Montreal's fourth goal. An offseason acquisition, Anderson skates on a potentially explosive line with Drouin (1-4-5) and young center Nick Suzuki (2-4-6). He's second on the team with 21 shots and has three goals and an assist over six games.

Anderson scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 7-3 win over the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson began a stretch of three goals in 1:34 for the Canadiens towards the end of the second period. It was his third tally of the year to go with 16 shots on net, six PIM and 11 hits through five outings. The 26-year-old winger has adjusted fairly well to being the shooter on a line with Nick Suzuki and Jonathan Drouin, who both assisted on his goal Thursday.

Anderson had one shot, four hits and four PIM over 16:53 of ice time in Wednesday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson, who busted out with two goals and seven shots in the season-opening loss to Toronto, missed shifts in each of the next two games but was back to normal Wednesday. Montreal head coach Claude Julien said there's no reason for concern, Stu Cowan of the Montreal Gazette reports. The decision to skip shifts may have been the coach taking it easy on the forward, who was limited to 26 games last season due to shoulder surgery. If there's any hint of a health risk to Anderson, the Canadiens have veterans Corey Perry and Michael Frolik on the taxi squad.

Anderson scored two goals in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

He fired pucks past Frederik Andersen late in the first period and early in the third, and in one night Anderson doubled his goal haul from 26 games last season with Columbus. The 26-year-old winger has had some trouble avoiding injuries in his career, but on a line with Nick Suzuki and Jonathan Drouin, Anderson could prove to be very productive when he's healthy.
