Craig Anderson was one of the surprise performers during the 2009-10 season with the Colorado Avalanche, at times standing on his head, helping to lead the Avs to the playoffs and pushing their opening round series with San Jose to six games. For as surprising and strong as his play was a season ago, this year had to be considered equally disappointing. Earlier this week Avs shipped him to Ottawa in an exchange of struggling goaltenders that landed them Brian Elliott. On Saturday, Anderson made his Ottawa debut in the Battle of Ontario and put on a dominating performance in the Senators 1-0 shootout victory against the Maple Leafs.
He was by far the best player on the ice and stopped all 47 shots he faced through regulation and overtime, and then slammed the door in the shootout, stopping Tyler Bozak and Mikhail Grabovski, while Nikolai Kulemin's effort came up short when the puck rolled off his stick. Jason Spezza scored the lone goal for Ottawa in the second round.
