Anderson is battling an undisclosed injury and will begin the 2025-26 seasons on Injured Reserve. The 27-year-old Anderson was limited to only 18 games with the Blackhawks last season, averaging 12:24 time-on-ice and recording one assist.

Anderson hasn't played the previous three games and has been assigned to the Rockford IceHogs (AHL). The 26-year-old Anderson has spent most of the season with the Blackhawks, averaging 12:24 time-on-ice and scoring zero points (0G / 1A) in 18 games.

Philipp Kurashev will likely draw back into Chicago's lineup on Friday, resulting in Anderson being a healthy scratch. The 26-year-old Anderson is averaging 12:24 time-on-ice and has one point (0G / 1A) in 18 games this season.

Craig Smith (undisclosed) will draw back into Chicago's lineup on Thursday against the New York Islanders, sending Anderson to the sidelines as a healthy scratch. The 26-year-old Anderson is averaging 14:16 time-on-ice and has one points (0G / 1A) in 13 games this season.

Philipp Kurashev will draw back into the lineup for the Blackhawks on Wednesday against the Dallas Stars, resulting in Anderson being a healthy scratch for the first time in eight games. The 26-year-old Anderson is averaging 14:36 time-on-ice and has one point (0G / 1A) in 12 games this season.

Anderson will re-enter the lineup in place of Pat Maroon as the Blackhawks opt to get some fresh bodies into their lineup for the tail-end of their back-to-back. Anderson has no goals and just one assist in five games this season.

After playing 55 games with the Blackhawks last season, scoring 17 points (5G / 12A), the 26-year-old Anderson seems to have found a home in the NHL after being a journeyman for the first seven years of his career. He has one point (0G / 1A) in five games with the Blackhawks this season and his status for Saturday's game against the Buffalo Sabres is uncertain.

Anderson has spent the last two seasons in Chicago and will return for two more after he signed a two-year contract extension worth $1.6 million ($800K AAV). The 26-year-old is in his seventh NHL season and had five goals, 17 points, eight PIMs and a +5 plus/minus in 55 games in 2023-24.

Anderson will play for the first time since December 17th, a 10-game absence due to a left shoulder injury. Anderson has five points (0G / 5A) in 13 games this season and is expected to play on a line with Colin Blackwell and Jason Dickinson.

Anderson played 13 straight games for the Blackhawks but suffered a shoulder injury in yesterday's contest against the Vancouver Canucks and has been placed on the injured reserve. He has five points (0G / 5A) while averaging 13:21 time-on-ice through 13 games this season.

Anderson has enjoyed a fantastic start to his 2023-24 season in Rockford (AHL) with seven goals, nine assists, two PIMs, and a -3 plus/minus in 14 games played and has been recalled to Chicago Thursday. The 25-year-old appeared in 24 games in 2022-23 with the Blackhawks, where he had four goals, six points, 28 SOG, and a -9 plus/minus in 24 games played.

Anderson had six goals, three assists, 41 SOG, and a -8 plus/minus through 38 games played with Toronto and Chicago in 2022-23 as has signed a one-year, two-way contract extension ($800,000 AAV) through 2023-24 with Chicago. The 25-year-old right-winger was acquired near the trade deadline by Chicago in a deal that brought Jake McCabe to Toronto and has 22 career points (14G/8A) across 96 NHL games played.

Anderson has two goals, three points, 13 SOG and a -1 plus/minus through 16 games with Toronto and Chicago but will be a healthy scratch Thursday vs. Dallas. The 24-year-old was traded as part of the Jake McCabe and Sam Lafferty deal earlier in the week.

Anderson had two goals, an assist, 13 SOG, and a +1 plus/minus across 14 games with the Toronto Maple Leafs and has been dealt alongside Pavel Gogolev, a conditional 2025 1st round pick, and a 2026 2nd round pick from the Maple Leafs for Jake McCabe, Sam Lafferty, a conditional 2024 5th round pick, and a conditional 2025 5th round pick.
