Senators' Anderson returns for 1st start in 2 months

Craig Anderson is ready.

The Ottawa Senators netminder will get the start Saturday against the New York Islanders, his first game since Dec. 5.

Anderson recently returned to the team following a leave of absence to be with his ill wife.

The veteran goaltender has appeared in 19 games with the Senators this season, posting a 12-6-1 record and a .924 save percentage. In his absence, Ottawa has relied on Mike Condon, who recently made his 27th consecutive appearance.
