Fantasy Analysis
Craig Anderson certainly can't take any blame for the series loss, as he allowed just 14 goals on 208 shots in the seven games, good for a .933 save mark. Ottawa simply couldn't scrape together enough offense against Henrik Lundqvist. (Updated 04/26/2012).

Elton John once sang that Saturday night is alright for fighting. Well Saturday was alright for fighting indeed. In fact, Saturday was the night for everything in the NHL, dirty hits, dramatic goals, overtime games; it had it all. And there were only four games!
04/14/2012 22:31 Senators rally against Rangers to win in overtime, level series at 1-1
Chris Neil scored 1:17 into overtime, and the Ottawa Senators rallied for a wild 3-2 victory over the New York Rangers in Game 2 to even the first-round Eastern Conference series Saturday night.
Anderson enters the 2011-12 season as Ottawa's clear-cut No. 1 netminder, something that hasn't been seen in quite some time in Canada's capital. Anderson, acquired from Colorado in the later stages of the 2010-11 season for Brian Elliott, gave Senators fans a reason for hope. Appearing in 18 games for Ottawa, he went 11-5-0-1 with a 2.05 GAA and a .939 save percentage, numbers he'll be hard pressed to repeat for a rebuilding Senators squad in 2011-12. While the wins may not be there this year, Anderson should have a respectable GAA and save percentage. Just don't count on him carrying your fantasy squad's goalie categories, especially for a young Senators team that will likely have two rookies (Jared Cowen and David Rundblad) suiting up on the blue line.
