Craig Anderson to start for Ottawa against Oilers

The Hockey Night in Canada panel go over all the new around the NHL, including the Montreal Canadiens looking for help on the blue line, what the Calgary Flames should do with Matthew Tkachuk and what the NHL is doing with All-Star voting.

Craig Anderson will start for the Ottawa Senators when they play the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday.

The 35-year-old had taken a leave of absence after his wife Nicholle was diagnosed with cancer.

After backup Andrew Hammond went down with a lower-body injury on Friday, Nicholle urged Anderson to re-join the Senators, who are now carrying three goalies.

Anderson is 4-1-0 this season with a .903 save percentage and a 2,94 goals-against average.
