Canadiens' Josh Anderson: Pots second preseason goal
Anderson scored a goal on two shots in Friday's 2-1 preseason loss to the Maple Leafs.
Anderson potted his second preseason goal in as many games. The power forward's 2022-23 season ended prematurely in March due to an ankle injury, but he still managed to notch 21 markers and 32 points in 69 appearances.
