Anderson will start in goal Thursday night against the Canadiens, Ian Mendes of TSN1200 reports.Anderson was not the originally scheduled starter, but he will be out there in the wake of a sudden groin injury to Andrew Hammond. While it's unclear at this point how severe we should consider Hammond's injury to be, this is a great chance for Anderson to prove that the No. 1 goalie job belongs to him. Anderson is a capable backstop fresh off a season in which he compiled a sturdy 2.49 GAA and .923 save percentage, but Hammond is the young talent that helped the Sens to 20 wins in 24 starts last year. Keep an eye on the situation and see if Anderson can gain any separation in the goalie battle ahead of the new season.
