Anderson, 42, played for 20 seasons with six NHL teams. He played 435 of his 709 career games with the Senators.

He compiled a 319-275-73 career record with 43 shutouts, a 2.86 goals-against average and a .912 save percentage.

In addition to the Senators (2011-20), he played for the Chicago Blackhawks, Florida Panthers, Colorado Avalanche, Washington Capitals and Sabres.

Anderson was 11-11-2 with one shutout, a 3.06 GAA and a .908 save percentage with the Sabres in 2022-23.

The Illinois native led the NHL in total saves (2,047) in 2009-10 and in save percentage (.941) and GAA (1.69) in 2012-13.

Anderson never won a Stanley Cup. He participated in the postseason six times, losing with Ottawa in the 2017 Eastern Conference finals to the eventual champion Pittsburgh Penguins in seven games.
