Montreal Canadiens right wing Josh Anderson (undisclosed) is considered a game-time decision for Saturday's matchup against the New Jersey Devils. He is in danger of missing his first game of the season. Anderson has amassed 18 points (eight goals, 10 assists) in 48 contests in 2024-25. Brendan Gallagher (undisclosed) is also a game-time call for Saturday, so Montreal might lose most of its third line for the matchup. Joel Armia and Jake Evans could take on larger roles if Anderson and Gallagher are out. Evans is having an impressive campaign in a bottom-six role, boasting 25 points (11 goals, 14 assists) through 48 outings.

Montreal Canadiens winger Josh Anderson (lower body) will return to the lineup Saturday versus Boston. He makes his return after sitting out the past four games. Anderson is expected to join Jake Evans and Brendan Gallagher on the second line, and he should also get some power-play time as a member of the second unit. The 31-year-old is in desperate need of a jolt offensively, having recorded only seven goals and 12 points in 41 games. Jesse Ylonen will make room for Anderson in the lineup.

Montreal Canadiens right wing Josh Anderson will miss Saturday's contest against Edmonton. The 29-year-old has played in all 41 games this season so far, but it has been a very rough campaign for him. Anderson has had three separate point droughts of at least six games, and he's managed only seven goals and five assists in total. Rafael Harvey-Pinard will fill in for Anderson on the second line in Saturday's game. His season hasn't gone too well either, as Harvey-Pinard sits goalless through 14 appearances with four assists.

Montreal Canadiens right wing Josh Anderson (knee) will play Thursday versus Buffalo. Anderson hurt his right knee against Dallas on Tuesday and couldn't finish the game, but he luckily avoided a major injury. Anderson should assume his normal duties on the second line. With only six goals and five assists posted in 37 games this season, Anderson has been ineffective for large parts of 2023-24, but he's guaranteed to have a big role due to the team's injury crisis in the attack.
