Anderson who has been out since mid-February with a sprained ankle, could return this weekend. Ben Bishop and Robin Lehner played very well in Anderson's absence so he likely won't have the same workload he had before getting hurt. If he is available in your league he could be worth a pick-up. He was an early front-runner for the Vezina before getting hurt.
There is still no timetable for Anderson's return. However this is the first time he has been able to do goalie drills in practice with no limitations.
MacArthur is a healthy scratch tonight as Matt Frattin is re-inserted into the Maple Leafs lineup. Mac has seven goals and 10 assists in 30 games this season.
Anderson was taking shots in practice but was doing so gingerly, so he isn't quite ready. However it is a good sign that he is taking shots once again.
Anderson will continue skating throughout the weekend to test the ankle he injured Feb. 21. There is no timetable for Anderson's return from the high ankle sprain, but it's a promising sign that he was able to skate.
Keep Anderson on the bench in weekly formats and don't expect to get anything out of him this week in daily leagues.
This is the first time Anderson has faced shots since he got hurt on February 21. There is no word on when Anderson will return to the Senators crease. Consider him day-to-day.
Brassard left Tuesday's game early. We will update you when more is known.
Marc Staal (flu) will also be a gametime decision for the Rangers.
The Rangers said they will evaluate Del Zotto Saturday morning.
The Senators lost Anderson at 1:43 of the third period after Rangers forward Chris Kreider was tripped in front and slid into the unsuspecting netminder. He is considered day-to-day at this point, monitor his status over the next few days for a more accurate report on how long he will be out.
Anderson won his last start stopping 37 of 38 shots that the Islanders threw at him. Anderson has regressed a little but that was expected after a tremendous start. He is still one of fantasy's top goalie options but has a tough test tonight vs. Henrik Lundqvist and the Rangers. Good news for him is that Rangers forward Rick Nash will not play.
Anderson has lost 3 of his last 4 starts bringing his recorded to 7-4-2. He has the second best GAA (1.61) in the NHL and the top SV% (.948). Anderson is having the best season of his career however the wins aren't going to come as easy as they did when Erik Karlsson was in the lineup. He has a good matchup against the Islanders today.
Anderson comes into tonight at 7-3-2 with a 1.58 GAA and .949 SV% but things are about to get more difficult for him as the Senators begin life without Karlsson. He has a fairly good matchup tonight against the Maple Leafs.
Anderson has been the best goalie in the NHL this season and is the front-runner for the Vezina right now. Anderson will get the start tonight vs. the Penguins after posting a 42-save shutout last night against the Sabres. Anderson is a must-start right now regardless of format or opponent.
Anderson has lost 3 of his last 4 starts but he is hardly to blame. In those 4 starts he allowed 9 goals while posting a .922 SV% and they were all one-goal games. He has a solid match-up as the Sens take on the Sabres who they just beat 4-3 last Tuesday. It appears at this point as long as they slow Thomas Vanek down they'll be alright, but that is easier said than done.
Anderson looks like he'll play almost every game this season, the only nights he may get off are during back-to-backs and even then who knows. He has been exceptional so far with a 6-2-1 record, 1.33 GAA and .956 SV%. He is a must-start in all formats.
Anderson saved 30 of 32 shots he faced yesterday against the Habs in a losing effort. Anderson's great season continues though as he has a 1.12 GAA and .964 SV%, and has a fairly good matchup tomorrow against the Sabres, as long as they can stop Vanek.
MacArthur has been unavailable for the Maple Leafs last 3 games since hurting his pinky finger January 26 against the Rangers. MacArthur isn't a great fantasy option except for in deep leagues. Monitor his status prior to game-time.
Anderson saved 34 of 35 shots that he faced on Friday in a losing effort. Anderson continued his stellar play this season and it looks like the Sens are going to turn to him in every situation especially the way he has been playing. Ride the hot streak.
