Craig Anderson

Senators sticking Craig Anderson on netminder duties Thursday

Ottawa Senators goalie Craig Anderson will start against the Boston Bruins on Thursday night.

What It Means:

Anderson will be making his third start in four days for the Senators, who take on the best offense in the NHL tonight as they compete for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. He notched his fifth shutout of the season on Tuesday with a 24-save effort over the Detroit Red Wings on the second night of a back-to-back.

numberFire's models project Anderson to allow 2.5 goals and make 27.5 saves while having a 37.0 percent chance of defeating the Bruins.
