Senators No. 1 goalie Craig Anderson thrives on heavy workload

BOSTON - Craig Anderson doesn't mind being busy one bit.

The Senators goaltender went into Tuesday night's game against the Boston Bruins at the TD Garden to close out this home-and-home series as the NHL's busiest netminder and he wouldn't have it any other way.

He was No. 1 in the league in shots against (973), saves (896), even-strength saves (746) and power-play stops (114) before the game.

Yes, those are big numbers but Anderson noted before suiting up for his 30th game of the season the saves get him in the game earlier.

"It might be easier to play just because it your keeps your mind out of the game," said Anderson Tuesday morning.
