Anderson will start Tuesday in Pittsburgh.

Anderson allowed three goals on 33 shots in the Senators' loss in Nashville last Tuesday. With Marcus Hogberg back at home due to personal reasons, Anderson will start in Pittsburgh with Filip Gustavsson as his backup.

Cousins (visa) is questionable to make his Golden Knights debut on Wednesday.

Cousins was not on the ice for the Golden Knights morning skate because he is having issues with his visa coming from Canada. Vegas skated with 11 forwards, leaving a spot open for Cousins to skate with Chandler Stephenson and Nicolas Roy on the third line. Consider Cousins as a game-time decision.

Nick Cousins
The Golden Knights have signed Nick Holden to a two-year contract extension worth $3.4 million ($1.7M AAV).

Holden was set to become an unrestricted free agent after the season but is now locked up through the 2022 season. Holden has scored five goals with six assists (11 points) in 54 games this season while ranking third among Vegas defensemen in PK TOI (1:56/gm).

Nick Holden
The Golden Knights have acquired Nick Cousins from the Canadiens for a 2021 fourth-round draft pick.

Cousins was an effective bottom-6 forward for the Canadiens this season, posting 22 points (9G / 13A) in 58 games while playing just 13:28 ATOI. In Vegas, he'll help fill a void left by Alex Tuch's injury and should be a third line winger moving forward.
