After playing 55 games with the Blackhawks last season, scoring 17 points (5G / 12A), the 26-year-old Anderson seems to have found a home in the NHL after being a journeyman for the first seven years of his career. He has one point (0G / 1A) in five games with the Blackhawks this season and his status for Saturday's game against the Buffalo Sabres is uncertain.
Anderson has spent the last two seasons in Chicago and will return for two more after he signed a two-year contract extension worth $1.6 million ($800K AAV). The 26-year-old is in his seventh NHL season and had five goals, 17 points, eight PIMs and a +5 plus/minus in 55 games in 2023-24.

Anderson has two goals, three points, 13 SOG and a -1 plus/minus through 16 games with Toronto and Chicago but will be a healthy scratch Thursday vs. Dallas. The 24-year-old was traded as part of the Jake McCabe and Sam Lafferty deal earlier in the week.
Anderson had two goals, an assist, 13 SOG, and a +1 plus/minus across 14 games with the Toronto Maple Leafs and has been dealt alongside Pavel Gogolev, a conditional 2025 1st round pick, and a 2026 2nd round pick from the Maple Leafs for Jake McCabe, Sam Lafferty, a conditional 2024 5th round pick, and a conditional 2025 5th round pick.
Anderson had a goal, four SOG and a -2 plus/minus through seven games while averaging only 9:11 TOI in a limited role with the Maple Leafs but will head back to the Marlies (AHL) for the second time this season.

With the news Friday that Nick Robertson will miss some time due to injury Joey Anderson has been called upon from the Toronto Marlies (AHL). Anderson has had a very solid campaign in the minors prior to his promotion with 11 goals, 19 points, six PIMs and a +1 plus/minus through 21 games.
Anderson leads the Marlies with 26 goals, adding 16 assists (42 points) in 55 games. The 23-year-old has 13 points (8G / 5A) in 57 career NHL games to date.
Anderson had no points in two games with the Maple Leafs and returns to the AHL, where he has five goals and two assists in 13 games this season.
