Anderson received a two-game suspension Sunday for boarding Vegas' Alex Pietrangelo.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson will not be available Tuesday in Detroit or Wednesday against the Canucks. The 28-year-old has five points in 12 games this season. Rem Pitlick could slide back into the lineup as a result.

Anderson will have a hearing with the NHL Department of Player Safety on Sunday for boarding Alex Pietrangelo in Saturday's game against Vegas.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson was assessed a five-minute major for boarding and a game misconduct Saturday at the 10:08 mark of the third period. It appears as though he will be disciplined further for hitting Pietrangelo from behind in front of the Vegas bench.

Anderson racked up 15 PIM and was assessed a game misconduct for a hit on the Golden Knights' Alex Pietrangelo in Saturday's 6-4 loss.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson hit Pietrangelo in front of the Vegas bench and was immediately mauled by members of the Golden Knights. The infraction could lead to a suspension for the Canadiens' winger. Ironically, Vegas was assessed two retaliatory minor penalties, and the Habs scored on the initial man-advantage.

Anderson scored a goal and assisted on another to go along with three hits and four shots over 13:42 of ice time in Thursday's 3-2 win over Buffalo.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson set up Brendan Gallagher for the game's first goal then scored the game winner with under four minutes left. His first try in close was stopped by Eric Comrie, but he circled back to the high slot where David Savard set him up for a bomb that was redirected above the goalie's left shoulder. It was Anderson's first two-point game this season and third goal, all of which have come in Montreal victories.

Anderson scored a goal on two shots on net along with one hit over 13:39 of ice time in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Coyotes.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson and the Canadiens struck first, just 1:58 into the game, when he banged home a loose puck after Connor Ingram made a couple of stops. The Habs jumped to a 3-0 first period, twice taking advantage of Arizona turnovers in their own end, and never looked back. Anderson's goal was his second of the season and set up by linemates Kirby Dach and Jonathan Drouin.

Anderson scored late in the third period Wednesday as the Canadiens edged the Maple Leafs 4-3.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson's goal with 19 seconds remaining lifted the Canadiens to a season-opening victory. It was a big step for Anderson, who scored 19 goals last season but struggled with a minus-25 rating. The 2012 fourth-round draft pick paced the Canadiens on Wednesday with a plus-2 rating and added two hits.

Anderson (upper body) was a full participant at Friday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson was evidently sidelined due to a spider bite that caused one of his hands to swell up. The 28-year-old winger will likely be in the lineup for Saturday's preseason game versus the Senators.

Anderson (upper body) skated with his teammates in a non-contact jersey Thursday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is an encouraging development for Anderson, who has yet to appear in a preseason contest due to an upper-body injury. Check back for another update on the 28-year-old winger, who collected 19 goals and 32 points through 69 games last campaign, once he's cleared for contact.

Anderson (upper body) has not been seen skating yet, indicating a more serious injury than his day-to-day classification would indicate, per Eric Engels of Sportsnet.ca on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The fact that Anderson hasn't been seen on the ice doesn't bode well for him being available for the upcoming preseason matchups with Toronto and Winnipeg on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively. Until the Habs provide more clarity, fantasy players will have to take his day-to-day tag at face value but may want to prepare for the 28-year-old winger to be unavailable for Opening Night.

Anderson (upper body) is day-to-day to begin training camp, Jon Still of TSN 690 reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson is dealing with an injury, though the severity is unknown. It's unclear if he'll be able to practice in the coming days or if he'll have to miss some preseason action, which makes his status for Opening Night cloudy as well.
