Craig Anderson - Page 2 - NHL News & Rumors

Exits ice first Monday Anderson was the first goalie to leave the ice Monday, Mark Masters of TSN reports, indicating he'll tend the twine on the road versus Toronto.

Impact In 22 games this season, Anderson has posted a 9-9-2 record with a 2.78 GAA and one shutout. The 41-year-old backstop will likely continue to serve as a No. 2 option behind Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen but should still get a handful of starts down the stretch, especially with teammate Eric Comrie out for a stretch with a lower-body injury.

McDavid scores 2 in Oilers' 3-2 win over Sabres

Connor McDavid scored twice, giving him an NHL-leading 54 goals this season, and the Edmonton Oilers beat the Buffalo Sabres 3-2

Guarding cage Monday Anderson will get the starting nod at home against the Oilers on Monday, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.

Impact In his last appearance, Anderson coughed up four goals on 35 shots during a loss to Columbus. The veteran netminder is 9-8-2 with a 2.77 GAA and a .918 save percentage through 21 outings. He's 3-5-1 at home this season and hasn't earned a home victory since posting a 40-save shutout against the Kings on Dec. 13.

Loses despite making 34 saves Anderson stopped 34 of 37 shots in a 3-2 loss to Edmonton on Monday.

Impact Anderson allowed a goal in each period of the contest. He dropped to 9-9-2 with a 2.78 GAA and a .918 save percentage in 22 games this season. Anderson has lost his last two starts while allowing seven goals on 72 shots over that stretch.

Falls to Jackets Anderson stopped 31 of 35 shots in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Blue Jackets.

Impact Columbus' final goal was scored into an empty net. Anderson couldn't really be faulted on any of the pucks that beat him, and he shut the door in the third period as the Sabres tried to mount a comeback after sleepwalking through the first two frames. The 41-year-old netminder continues to see semi-consistent action as Buffalo splits the workload in the crease between three goalies, starting three of the last eight games and getting called upon in relief of Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen in a fourth, and Anderson's 2.77 GAA and .918 save percentage on the season are far superior to Luukkonen's 3.57 GAA and .892 SvP or Eric Comrie's 3.59 GAA and .882 SvP.

First goalie off Tuesday Anderson was the first goalie to leave the ice Tuesday, Joe Yerdon of the Bleacher Report reports, indicating he'll be in goal at home versus Columbus.

Impact Anderson has put up decent numbers in 20 appearances this season, posting a 9-7-2 record, 2.70 GAA and one shutout. The Sabres are currently carrying three goalies on the 23-man roster and could be considering moving one of Anderson or Eric Comrie before Friday's trade deadline, though nothing official has come from the team.

Stands on head for win Anderson made 53 saves in Friday's 3-1 win over the Panthers.

Impact The Sabres were out-shot 54-35 on a night that really should have seen a much higher score were it not for the efforts of the two guys in the crease. Anderson took a shutout into the third period before Carter Verhaeghe finally got a puck past him, but the 41-year-old netminder still picked up his first win since Jan. 23 while tying his career high in saves -- a mark he established back in 2008 when he was a member of the Panthers. The 53 saves also set a new Sabres franchise record for stops in a win and is the third-highest single-game total in club history, while Anderson became the first goalie in his 40s in NHL history to rack up 50 or more saves in a night.

Makes 17 saves in relief appearance Anderson surrendered one goal on 18 shots in a 6-3 loss to Toronto on Tuesday.

Impact Anderson stepped into the contest after Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen allowed four goals on 10 shots over just 12:09 of ice time. The only goal Anderson allowed was scored at 14:36 of the second period while the Maple Leafs were on the power play. Toronto's final marker was on an empty net. Anderson wasn't charged with the loss, so his record is still 8-7-2. He also has a 2.79 GAA and a .915 save percentage in 19 outings in 2022-23. The 41-year-old fared far better Tuesday than he did Feb. 13, when he stopped 23 of 28 shots in a 5-2 loss to Los Angeles.

Can't shake off rust Anderson allowed five goals on 28 shots in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Kings.

Impact Anderson made his first start in three weeks, and he looked good early on. The Kings then tagged him for four goals in a 10-minute span during the second period, and the Sabres' offense couldn't recover. Anderson has been surpassed by Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen on the goaltending depth chart. The 41-year-old Anderson is now at 8-7-2 with a 2.86 GAA and a .914 save percentage through 18 contests. Given his limited usage lately, it's unclear when he might start again.

FEBRUARY 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Draws start Monday Anderson will be stationed between the pipes in Los Angeles on Monday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

Impact Anderson will make his first start since earning a win against Dallas on Jan. 23. The veteran goaltender is 8-6-2 with a 2.73 GAA and a .918 save percentage through 17 games this season. He's been even better on the road, going 5-2-1 with a 2.58 GAA.
