Anderson scored a power-play goal on three shots, added an assist, logged three hits and blocked two shots in Monday's 8-2 win over the Flames.

Anderson scored a goal, doled out two hits and blocked three shots in Saturday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson opened the scoring at 9:32 of the first period with his second goal in his last three games. The 23-year-old is unlikely to become a massive scoring threat, but he sees plenty of minutes as the defensive half of a pairing with Drew Doughty. Anderson is up to four goals, 16 points, a plus-17 rating, 75 shots on net, 143 hits, 117 blocked shots and 36 PIM through 67 contests overall.

Anderson scored a goal and went plus-2 in Monday's 4-2 win over the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson has picked up two points and a plus-5 rating over 10 games since he signed an eight-year contract extension in mid-February. The defenseman continues to serve as a strong presence in his own zone, allowing Drew Doughty to roam about more. Anderson is up to three goals, 15 points, 73 shots on goal, 139 hits, 112 blocked shots and a plus-15 rating through 65 contests this season. His tally Monday was the game-winner, his fourth such goal in his career.

Anderson agreed to terms on an eight-year, $33 million contract extension with Los Angeles on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson was set to become a restricted free agent this offseason but instead has tied himself to the club through the 2030-31 campaign. The 23-year-old blueliner has tallied two goals and 11 assists in 55 games this season, so it certainly doesn't seem as though the club is signing him for his offensive contributions. Still, the Minnesota native can dish out plenty of hits and blocks and comes in at a manageable $4.125 million AAV.

Anderson notched an assist, four blocked shots and 12 PIM in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson helped out on the second of Adrian Kempe's four goals in the game. In the third period, Anderson also got into a scuffle with Sidney Crosby, which saw the Penguins' captain ultimately ejected from the game while Anderson racked up 12 PIM with a cross-checking minor and a misconduct. The defenseman isn't known for mixing things up much, but he is a physical presence. He has two assists over his last four games, and he's up to 13 points, a plus-10 rating, 30 PIM, 59 shots on net, 87 blocked shots and 120 hits through 54 outings.

Anderson contributed a shorthanded assist in Friday's 4-3 win over the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson nabbed his first shorthanded point in two years, and the physical defenseman now has a career high in points with his running total comprised of two goals and 10 assists. While that total probably won't leave fantasy managers clamoring to scoop him off the wire, it's worth noting that Anderson also has 79 blocked shots and 115 hits to help out in the ancillary categories.
