Anderson will start Thursday vs. the Blues.

Anderson allowed three goals on 48 shots in the Senators win in Toronto on January 10th. Anderson has won three of his last four starts despite posting an ugly 4.29 GAA and .904 SV%. The 36-year-old netminder is 8-7-3 with a 3.35 GAA and .896 SV% on home ice this season and tonight he faces a Blues team that is 12-8-3 while averaging 2.78 goals for per game on the road this season.

The Kings have recalled Michael Amadio from Ontario (AHL).

Amadio, 21, had one goal in an eight-game stint with the Kings earlier this year but has spent the majority of his time in the AHL, where he has collected 34 points (11G / 23A) in 30 games. Amadio centred the Kings third line in Tuesday’s practice, so look for him to be in the lineup when they face the Penguins on Thursday.

The Sabres have reassigned Linus Ullmark to Rochester (AHL).

Ullmark was outstanding in his season debut on Thursday, turning away 44 of 45 shots in the Sabres win over the Blue Jackets. Ullmark is viewed as the Sabres goalie of the future but will go back to Rochester during the Sabres’ bye week and could return after the break. Ullmark could see an extended run with the Sabres if they elect to trade Robin Lehner like they are rumoured to.

Ullmark will make his season debut for the Sabres on Thursday.

Ullmark has appeared in 21 career NHL games but it looks like he will make his season debut tonight vs. Columbus. The Sabres believe Ullmark has a bright future ahead of him, so they’ll give him a shot tonight after he has gone 17-5-1 with a 2.27 GAA, .928 SV% and two shutouts in 26 games with Rochester (AHL). While he might be the Sabres goalie of the future, he will be in tough against Sergei Bobrovsky tonight.

Anderson will start Wednesday in Toronto.

Anderson was pulled after he allowed four goals on 26 shots in the Senators blowout loss to the Blackhawks last night. Getting pulled allowed Anderson to go again tonight, but with limited rest and a tough matchup, look elsewhere tonight. Anderson has gone 2-1-1 with a 4.03 GAA and .903 SV% in his last four starts.

Anderson will start Tuesday vs. the Blackhawks.

Anderson allowed three goals on 48 shots in the Senators win over the Lightning on Saturday. It has been a difficult season for Anderson but he had a strong weekend, winning back-to-back starts while stopping 75 of 83 shots (.904 SV%). Tonight he will face a Blackhawks team that has lost five of their last right (3-4-1).

The Sabres have recalled Linus Ullmark from Rochester (AHL).

Ullmark has enjoyed a lot of success at the AHL level this season, going 17-5-1 with a 2.27 GAA and .928 SV% in 26 starts with the Americans. There isn’t believed to be any injuries to either Robin Lehner or Chad Johnson so Ullmark’s call-up is a bit of a head scratcher unless they have something in the works.

Anderson will start Saturday vs. the Lightning.

Anderson allowed five goals on 35 shots in the Senators overtime win over the Sharks. Despite letting a lot of rubber get behind him, the Senators will go right back to the veteran netminder tonight against the NHL’s top team. This is a terrible spot for Anderson, making him an extremely risky fantasy option tonight.

Anderson will start Friday vs. the Sharks.

Anderson allowed two goals on 35 shots in the Senators overtime loss in Detroit on Wednesday. Anderson has lost his last four starts while allowing a combined 16 goals on 136 shots (.882 SV%). Things won get any easier tonight vs. the Sharks—Anderson allowed five goals on 50 shots in a 5-0 loss in San Jose in mid-December.

Chabot has moved to the Senators top power-play.

The Senators have been terrible this season and their power-play sits at 25th in the NHL (15.9%). Chabot is a gifted young offensive-defenseman and after changing their power-play coach, Chabot becomes the quarterback of the top unit with Erik Karlsson on his left and Mark Stone on his right.

Anderson will start Wednesday in Detroit.

Anderson allowed five goals on 23 shots in the Senators loss in Boston last Wednesday. Anderson was dealing with an illness last week so Mike Condon started the last two games, but Anderson is ready to go tonight in Detroit. Anderson has lost three straight while posting a 4.60 GAA and .861 SV% and has become a very risky option this season.

Anderson will start Wednesday in Boston.

Anderson allowed three goals on 38 shots in the Senators loss in Tampa Bay last Thursday. Mike Condon started on Saturday with Anderson out with an illness, but after the Christmas break he is ready to start tonight in Boston. The veteran comes into tonight at 3-5-1 with a 2.96 GAA and .902 SV% on the road this season.

Anderson will start Thursday in Tampa Bay.

Anderson surrendered six goals on 40 shots in the Senators loss to Minnesota on Tuesday. The loss snapped a brief two-game winning streak for Anderson, who has gone 2-3-0 with a 3.35 GAA and .906 SV% in December. He will be in tough tonight against the high-scoring Lightning, who come in having won seven of their last eight games.

Anderson stopped all 28 shots that he faced in the Senators shutout win outdoors on Saturday. Anderson will make his third straight start after winning his last two games while stopping 55 of 57 shots (.965 SV%). The veteran netminder comes into Tuesday at 6-5-3 with a 2.87 GAA and .903 SV% on home ice.

Anderson will start Saturday's outdoor game vs. the Canadiens.

Anderson allowed two goals on 29 shots in the Senators win over the Rangers on Tuesday. The win snapped a lengthy losing streak for Anderson, who will start tonight’s outdoor contest. The outdoor rink will change things, but Anderson struggled in his first start against the Canadiens, allowing six goals on 15 shots (before being pulled) in an 8-3 loss.
