Craig Anderson

Craig Anderson had an extraordinary 20-year career in the National Hockey League, but his remarkable achievements may have gone unnoticed in the sport's history.

Anderson was drafted by his hometown team, the Blackhawks, in the Third Round in 2001. He later played for Florida and Colorado before being traded to the Ottawa Senators in 2011, where he had his most successful and longest run. In the lockout-shortened 2012/13 season, Anderson led the NHL in Save Percentage (.941) and Goals Against Average (1.69) and was fourth for the Vezina. He remained as Ottawa’s lead Goalie for the rest of the decade, winning the Bill Masterton Trophy in 2016/17 for his admirable performance in between the pipes while dealing with his wife’s cancer.

Anderson concluded his career with Washington and Buffalo, retiring with a record of 319-275-73.
