OTTAWA -- The Ottawa Senators could finally be getting their No. 1 goaltender back for Saturday afternoon's home game against the New York Islanders.
The decision is now solely in the hands of Craig Anderson, who hasn't played in the more than two months he's been by his wife's side as she battles cancer.
"Is he able to be in the net physically?" coach Guy Boucher said after Friday's practice. "One hundred percent. But right now, it's for him (mentally) if he's ready to go."
The Islanders (24-18-10) have been on fire under new coach Doug Weight.
