Craig Anderson Records First Shutout In Three Years
2 years agoBuffalo Sabres goaltender Craig Anderson ended a lengthy shutout drought in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Kings, nullifying a team for the first time since 2019. He needed to be at his absolute best to do it as well, with L.A. firing 40 pucks toward him. The Kings are averaging 3.28 goals per game for the season, so it was a very impressive effort from Anderson, who became only the second netminder in NHL history to post a 40-save shutout at age 41 or older. He has proven that age is only a number, going 6-4-1 this season with a nice .921 save percentage and a 2.71 goals-against average. Anderson is currently sharing the goaltending duties in Buffalo with Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, as Eric Comrie (lower body) continues to work his way back from injury.
