TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger details that the injury to Anderson is an infection caused by what is believed to be a spider bite to his finger.
The 28-year-old from Burlington, Ont., skated in 69 games for the Canadiens last season, tallying 19 goals and 32 points.
Ottawa Senators
Ottawa Senators goalie Cam Talbot didn’t skate today ahead of his expected start against the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday, according to TSN's Claire Hanna.
Mads Søgaard is slated to get the start in net instead against the Canadiens.
"It’s nothing serious but you wouldn’t make him play in this type of scenario", said Senators head coach D.J. Smith on Talbot's injury.
The injury is believed to stem from a puck that found its way into Talbot's gear.
