Anderson (lower body) was hurt after a fall late in the third period, Arpon Basu of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson fell and sustained a hard collision while trying to go for an empty-net goal. Given the late nature of his injury, more information isn't expected Tuesday. The Canadiens' next game is Thursday in Boston, but since Anderson needed help getting off the ice, he seems unlikely to be available for that contest.
