Ottawa Senators News

Anderson is first off of the ice at Sens optional skate; he is the expected starter.

Anderson allowed two goals on four shots and was pulled before the five minute mark of the first period in last Saturday's loss to the Kings. Anderson's struggles continue, he now sits at 9-8-3 with a 3.37 GAA and .898 SV% this season. He will see the Panthers for the second time this season, in the first meeting he allowed two goals on 32 shots in a 4-2 win.

The Senators will start goaltender Craig Anderson.

Anderson gave up four goals on 29 shots (.862 SV%) but still came away with the shootout win on Monday vs. the Flyers. It was the fourth time in his last six starts that he has allowed four goals and it has pushed his GAA to 3.40 and SV% down to .895. He continues to struggle after a great 2012-13, but a matchup with the Sabres tonight could provide him with some much needed confidence.

Anderson starts for the Senators.

Anderson allowed three goals on 31 shots in a shootout loss to the Maple Leafs on Saturday. It was not the best start, but his 2.40 GAA and .921 SV% in his two starts in December are a lot better than his 2-4-0, 4.00 GAA and .866 SV% he posted in November. He will face the 13-14-2 Flyers who are coming off of an ugly 5-1 loss to the Stars.

Del Zotto in; Justin Falk out.

Del Zotto was a healthy scratch for the last three games but will rejoin the lineup tonight. The 23-year-old former 20th overall pick (2008) has had a disappointing start to the season after scoring 41 points in 2011-12 and was on pace for 36 over an 82 game season last year. He has been the talk of potential trades, but for now he is still a Ranger and will look to stay in the lineup with a strong game tonight.

Michael Del Zotto
"It will be announced later this morning that Craig Anderson is starting in goal against the Wild" - Hmm, that sounds like it is being announced now - We'll go with Likely until it is officially announced.

Anderson gave up four goals on 22 shots in a Sunday's loss to the Blue Jackets. He is 1-2-0 with a 3.48 GAA and .884 SV% in November. The Senators are very inconsistent, so it is hard to tell which team is going to show up tonight vs. Minnesota.

Craig Anderson
Anderson to start on Sunday.

Anderson surrendered two goals on 32 shots in a win over the Bruins on Friday. It was his first win since October 23 vs. Detroit. After leading the NHL in GAA (1.69) and SV% (.941) last season, Anderson has been a bit of a disappointment to start the 2013-14 season. He is 5-5-2 with a 3.20 GAA and .908 SV% so far, but has a strong matchup tomorrow vs. Columbus.

Craig Anderson
Anderson (neck) is healthy and will start Tuesday vs. Philadelphia.

Anderson missed the last three games with a neck injury, but will be back in the cage on Tuesday after allowed three goals on 36 shots in a loss to Dallas in his last start (Nov 3). He has not won since October 23, but a matchup with the putrid Flyers offence should get him back on track.
