Craig Anderson allowed four goals on 38 shots faced in the Sabres' 4-0 loss to the Flyers Monday night.
Fantasy Impact
Anderson has now allowed less than four goals in five of his last eight starts (4-3-1, .928 save percentage) for a surprising Sabres squad. The veteran netminder has been mostly reliable when called upon to this point, posting a 2.70 GAA and .921 save percentage in 15 appearances (7-6-1) between the pipes so far this season.
Buffalo Sabres goaltender Craig Anderson is likely to start his team's season opener Thursday versus the Ottawa Senators.
Fantasy Impact
Anderson somewhat surprisingly re-signed a one-year pact with the Sabres in June. The 41-year-old turned in a 3.12 GAA and .897 Sv% across 31 appearances last season but managed a 17-12-2 record in the process. His fantasy ceiling remains limited given his questionable workload and the quality of the Sabres team in front of him.
Craig Anderson backstopped Buffalo to a 5-2 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday night, on the road. He saved 24 of 26 shots for a .964 save percentage.
Fantasy Impact
The damage was done by Timothy Liljegren and Alex Kerfoot at even strength. The first was a shot off the backboards that Liljegren collected and shot through the crease. It caught Anderson's pad and went in. The second was a puck that eeked over the line just barely. The win brings him to 15-11-0-2 with a 3.09 GAA and .900 save percentage. If you're in dire need of a goalie start, Anderson is an option.
Craig Anderson allowed five goals on 28 shots against as the Sabres were shutout on the road in a 5-0 loss to the Lightning.
Fantasy Impact
Anderson falls to 14-11-2 with a 3.06 goals against average and .899 save percentage. The veteran has had a better second half of the season but isn't worth risking in your starting lineup.
