Finds twine in loss Anderson scored a goal and blocked a shot in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Rangers.

With the twine finder, he is up to six goals, nine points, 37 shots on net, 56 hits and 26 blocks through 31 games this season. Anderson has been one of the team's most successful offensive options in the bottom six despite ending a nine-game point drought Saturday. He has solid category coverage, but lacks the high-end offensive stats needed to succeed in fantasy.

Scores two goals Saturday Anderson scored two goals, including an empty-netter, in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs.

Impact Anderson did a good job capitalizing on his opportunities, as his two shots in this game found the back of the net. Anderson has five goals and eight total points this season. However, don't expect him to be a reliable fantasy contributor, as he holds a bottom-six role in the Canadiens' lineup.

Scores against former team Anderson scored a goal on three shots in Monday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Blue Jackets.

Impact Anderson has picked up the pace with two goals and two assists over his last six games. He's up on the third line now, though his ice time remains fairly steady from where it was earlier in the year. He may get more opportunities to make an impact due to the long-term absences of Patrik Laine (abdomen), Alex Newhook (ankle) and Kirby Dach (foot). Anderson has three goals, six points, 20 shots on net, 29 hits, 12 blocked shots, 10 PIM and a minus-10 rating over 19 appearances and should remain steady in the non-scoring areas even if his offense dips again.

Scores lone goal in loss Anderson scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Kings.

Impact Anderson has a goal and an assist over his last three games. Despite being listed on the fourth line, he's seen ample ice time, averaging 15:04 per game this season while adding four points, 17 shots, 23 hits, 10 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating. Anderson's had a slow enough start that he'll likely fall shy of the 20-goal mark for a third straight season, but he may be a useful physical winger in deep formats.

Pots goal in loss Anderson scored a goal and added two PIM in Thursday's 6-5 loss to the Oilers.

Impact Anderson netted his first goal of the campaign at 16:57 of the second period, the first of three tallies over a span of 1:52 to give the Canadiens a lead late in the frame. The 31-year-old winger has been quiet on offense so far, earning two points, 12 shots on net, 11 hits, four PIM and five blocked shots across nine outings. He's scored at least 15 goals in four of the previous five campaigns, so there is some potential for more offense here, but it's unclear if he'll cash in on it this year as a middle-six forward better known for his checking.

Records assist Saturday Anderson notched an assist and two PIM in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers.

Impact Anderson has started 2025-26 in a middle-six role, but he has yet to make much of an impact on offense. His helper Saturday was his first point of the campaign, and he's added six shots on net, nine hits, four blocked shots and a minus-2 rating. Anderson has missed the 30-point mark in consecutive seasons, and his mainly defensive usage means that threshold is likely his ceiling for scoring.
