Anderson surrendered four goals on 28 shots in the Senators’ shootout loss to the Capitals on Thursday. It was not a great start to the season for the veteran netminder, who will make his second start of the season tonight vs. Detroit. The Red Wings looked surprisingly good in their opener, but this is a pretty solid matchup for Anderson.
Anderson had a tough year off of the ice due to his wife’s health concerns, but played exceptionally well when he was with the Senators in 2016-17. However, year-to-year consistency has routinely been something that has escaped Anderson as he enters his seventh full-season with the Senators. His first test of the season will come against a Capitals team that ranked third in the NHL in scoring last year and figure to be close to as powerful this season.
