Craig Anderson has 35-save shutout as Senators blank Sabres 4-0
OTTAWA — There’s no denying this has been a difficult season for Ottawa Senators goaltender Craig Anderson.
After going 97 days without a victory, Anderson was finally able picked up a win on Saturday in a 4-3 overtime victory over the Edmonton Oilers. It was his first win since Dec. 17 and he followed that performance with a 4-0 shutout against the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday night, stopping all 35 shots he faced.
It was Anderson’s second shutout of the season.
“I thought the guys all fought really hard, especially at the end so that kind of shows the chemistry and togetherness that has developed here,” said interim head coach Marc Crawford. “I think they recognized it was a big win for Craig the other night and now to follow that up with the type of performance he had tonight I think guys were really pushing to make sure they didn’t make any miscues to give up the shutout.”
