Anderson brings steady scoring form to Chicago as Canadiens visit the United Center
Josh Anderson travels to United Center tonight as the Canadiens face the Blackhawks in a favorable road spot within an expected higher-scoring environment. Montreal enters as the road favorite against confirmed Chicago goaltender Spencer Knight. Anderson continues to skate in a middle-six role on Montreal's second line alongside Alex Newhook and Chris Kreider, a deployment that carries extra weight with captain Nick Suzuki sidelined. The veteran winger has been sharp lately, finding the back of the net three times over his last five games, prompting his fantasy start rate to climb up to 12%.
Our models project Anderson for ~0.5–1.0 point with a decent goal-scoring chance and ~1–2 shots on goal tonight, translating to roughly 2.4 fantasy points while adding physical value with a couple of hits. Because he lacks power-play time on either unit, his scoring ceiling remains somewhat constrained. Looking across Montreal's three-game week, only a trip to Winnipeg remains after tonight, limiting his remaining weekly volume. While not a mandatory play in shallow formats, his current goal-scoring streak makes him an appealing option for deeper rosters and category leagues needing hits. Today's action: Stream.
