Anderson scored a goal on three shots and added three hits over 17:43 of ice time in Saturday's 5-1 loss to Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson tipped in a Mike Matheson wrister from the blue line for Montreal's lone goal, which gave the Canadiens a 1-0 lead early in the second period. The tally was Anderson's 16th and gave him eight points in the last 12 games. With Cole Caufield (shoulder) done for the season, Anderson should continue to receive a lot of ice time in the top line.

Anderson recorded two assists in Montreal's 5-4 loss to Ottawa on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson has 14 goals and 19 points in 49 contests in 2022-23. Entering Tuesday's action, Anderson had gone 18 straight games without an assist, though he did provide six goals over that span. It's not unusual for the 28-year-old to finish a campaign with more goals than assists, though Anderson wasn't this lopsided in 2021-22, when he recorded 19 markers and 13 helpers in 69 contests.

Anderson scored a goal on four shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over Toronto. The forward added six hits over 18:20 of ice time.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson one-timed a perfect feed from Nick Suzuki for Montreal's first goal to initiate the team's comeback from a 2-0 hole. With Cole Caufield (shoulder) done for the season, Canadiens head coach Martin St. Louis put Anderson on the top line with Suzuki and recent callup Rem Pitlick, who assisted on Anderson's goal and scored the game winner in OT. Anderson has goals in three straight contests and could be in line for more, if he continues to skate with Suzuki, the Habs' assist leader.

EDGE Analysis
Anderson cruised through the slot and buried a rebound off a Kirby Dach wraparound attempt to seal the victory late in the third period. It was a productive night for Montreal's middle six, which provided all the offense. The second line contributed goals by Anderson and Mike Hoffman with Dach assisting on each. Anderson has 12 goals through 43 games.

EDGE Analysis
Anderson was net side and in position to bang home a loose puck after Jonathan Drouin's bid. It was the third goal in the last five games for Anderson, who has played with a rotating cast of forwards. He now has 11 goals, ranking third on the team behind Cole Caufield and Nick Suzuki.

Anderson scored a goal on two shots over 15:18 of ice time in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Nashville goalie Juuse Saros was unable to close his glove on Anderson's knuckler, which brought the Canadiens within one goal early in the second period. It was the second goal in three games and 10th of the season for Anderson, who has double-digit tallies in each of three seasons in Montreal.

Anderson had a power-play goal in Thursday's 7-2 loss to the Hurricanes. He added four shots on net, four hits and one blocked shot over 17:14 of ice time.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson halted a seven-game goal-less run with a first-period marker, the forward's second on the power play and first man-advantage goal since Nov. 17. Montreal is 26th in goals scored (98) and tallied just 14 times over its last eight contests. That kind of offense will impact the production of players like Anderson, a top-six forward with just 12 points over 34 games.
