Anderson had two shots on net, one block, one hit and seven PIM in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

It didn't take Anderson long to seek revenge at Madison Square Garden against New York's Jacob Trouba, who had delivered a clean -- but vicious -- hit on Montreal defenseman Justin Barron five weeks ago at the Bell Centre. Anderson engaged Trouba at the 1:58 mark of the first period in an old-school hockey battle. Anderson was later whistled for a questionable roughing penalty in the second period that led to a Mika Zibanejad power-play goal that gave New York a 3-1 lead. The two infractions upped Anderson's season total to a team-high 32 PIM over 23 outings.

The winger is up to three tallies, five assists, 24 shots on net, 39 hits and 21 PIM over 16 outings this season. He's in a third-line role with minimal power-play time, but it appears he's found a way to do more with less ice time early in 2024-25.

EDGE Analysis

The third line combined for a few scoring chances and eventually cashed in when Brendan Gallagher retrieved the rebound of Anderson's shot. Christian Dvorak also assisted.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson was the latest Montreal forward to skate on the top line alongside Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield. He joined a rotation that has included Juraj Slafkovsky, Kirby Dach and Emil Heineman. Anderson eventually swapped spots with Dach on Saturday and skated on the second line. Canadiens head coach Martin St. Louis started the season with Slafkovsky on the top unit, which may be the most productive combination, but the coach has since dropped him to the second line in an effort to balance out scoring among the lines. Anderson's six hits raised his season total to 29 through 12 outings, second-most on the team.

Anderson logged an assist and three hits in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson was questionable for this game after exiting Saturday's contest with a lower-body injury. The winger was able to play, logging 15:33 of ice time in his usual middle-six role. He contributed his third assist in four games. For the season, Anderson has four points, 14 shots on net, 18 hits, eight PIM and an even plus-minus rating over nine appearances. He can rack up hits and PIM, but he hasn't exceeded the 40-point mark in the last five seasons, so Anderson is a low-end fantasy option in most formats.

Anderson (lower body) will be in the lineup for Sunday's road game against the Flyers, according to Jonathan Bernier of the Montreal Journal.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson left Saturday's tilt against the Blues after blocking a shot. The injury appears to have been minor, and the right-shot winger will slot back in on the second line. Anderson has registered a goal and two assists over eight outings.

The winger has filled a middle-six role, earning three points through eight appearances this season. After being called up from AHL Laval on Saturday, Lucas Condotta could replace Anderson in Sunday's lineup.
