JOEY ANDERSON NEWS

Lands on waivers Anderson (lower body) was placed on waivers Saturday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

Impact Anderson practiced with Chicago on Saturday after starting the season on the injured non-roster list. However, his placement on waivers means he has the green light to see game action. He will report to AHL Rockford if he goes unclaimed.

On non-roster, injured list Anderson (lower body) was placed on the injured, non-roster list Monday.

Impact Anderson figures to miss at least the season opener against the Panthers on Tuesday but it could certainly be longer. In his 18 regular-season appearances last year, the 27-year-old winger failed to score a goal on 17 shots while chipping in one assist, 12 hits and 13 blocks. With Anderson on the shelf, the Hawks recalled Ryan Greene from AHL Rockford on Monday.

Will miss training camp Coach Jeff Bashill said Thursday that Anderson (undisclosed) will undergo a medical procedure for a chronic issue and miss the remainder of the preseason, Ben Pope of the Chicago S...

Impact Anderson only played 18 regular-season games with Chicago in 2024-25, before he was demoted to AHL Rockford on Jan. 2. Anderson managed only one helper for the Blackhawks but he was productive in the AHL with 17 goals and 10 assists in 33 contests. He is a fringe NHLer at this time and could be sent to the minors at the start of the regular season.

SEPTEMBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Sent to minors Anderson was assigned to AHL Rockford on Thursday, Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio reports.

Impact Anderson remained with Chicago after clearing waivers in early December, and he made six appearances for the club since then. He recorded four blocked shots, three hits and a minus-2 rating, and he was held without a point while averaging 7:59 of ice time. He'll be sent down after the Blackhawks recalled Colton Dach on Thursday.

Remaining with team Anderson is expected to remain with the team after clearing waivers Monday, according to Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio.

Impact Anderson has one assist, 13 shots on goal, nine blocked shots and nine hits over 12 appearances with the Blackhawks this season. Chicago has an unspecified game-time decision for Monday's matchup against the Rangers, per Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times, which could put Anderson in the lineup if a forward is unavailable.

Hits waivers Anderson was placed on waivers Sunday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

Impact Anderson had been scratched in Chicago's last six games after logging just one assist in 12 games earlier in the year. The 26-year-old winger had five goals and 17 points in 55 games last season.

DECEMBER 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not adding offense Anderson has just one assist through his first 12 appearances this season.

Impact Anderson earned that helper Oct. 17 versus the Sharks, then missed the next game due to an illness. He spent nine games out of the lineup, followed by a stretch of seven straight contests in action before sitting out Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Stars. Head coach Luke Richardson hasn't been afraid to scratch virtually anyone this season, so Anderson will need to step up his game the next time he draws in. He's added 13 shots on net, nine hits and nine blocked shots, but it's a disappointing level of production after he had 17 points, 57 shots on net and a plus-5 rating over 55 outings in 2023-24.

When it comes to his scoring slump, Connor Bedard is all about location

NOVEMBER 19, 2024 • Associated Press

Skating Monday Anderson (illness) was on the ice for Monday's practice session, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Anderson missed Saturday's game against the Sabres due to an illness, but it appears likely that he'll be able to return for Tuesday's matchup against the Canucks. Over five appearances this season, the 26-year-old has recorded an assist and four shots on goal.

Out Friday Anderson (illness) won't play Saturday against the Sabres, Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN reports.

Impact Anderson will miss his first game this season as he continues to battle an illness. The 26-year-old winger has one assist in five games this year. Andreas Athanasiou is expected to draw into the lineup in Anderson's absence.

OCTOBER 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Saturday Anderson is under the weather ahead of Saturday's matchup with Buffalo, Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN reports.

Impact Anderson hasn't exactly impressed through five games this season with just one point and four shots to show for it. Still, the 26-year-old winger managed only 17 points in 55 games last year, so it's not like there were high expectations for a productive campaign. Without a role on the power-play, it seems unlikely Anderson will suddenly start scoring with consistency. If he does miss out Saturday, Andreas Athanasiou would likely step into his spot in the lineup.

Chips in with helper Anderson provided an assist and blocked two shots in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.

Impact Anderson helped out on Jason Dickinson's third-period tally. The assist was Anderson's first point in five contests this season. He's added five hits, six blocked shots, four shots on net and a minus-1 rating while playing on the third line. The 26-year-old looks to be a fixture in the lineup, but playing in a bottom-six role for the Blackhawks is unlikely to lead to significant offense.

Pots goal Thursday Anderson scored a goal in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Kings.

Impact Anderson snapped a seven-game point drought with his game-tying goal in the third period. The 25-year-old was just alright with 17 points, 57 shots on net, 48 hits and a plus-5 rating over 55 appearances with the Blackhawks this season. It was the best year of his career, but it's unlikely he would have seen that much playing time with many other teams. He'll be a restricted free agent this summer.
