Craig Anderson played with the Ottawa Senators in the 2010–2011 season, appearing in 18 games, winning 11, losing 5, and posting a GAA and save percentage of 2.05 and.939 respectively.
On February 19, 2011, Anderson made 47 saves in his Senators debut, blanking the Toronto Maple Leafs. Later in March 2011, Anderson and the Senators agreed to a four-year contract extension.
Anderson was among the league leaders and had won 29 games in 56 games the next season (2011–2012) before being sidelined due to a right-hand injury acquired in a cooking mishap. Prior to the trade deadline, the Senators acquired Ben Bishop from the St. Louis Blues.
The Senators met the top-seeded New York Rangers in the Eastern Conference during that season’s playoffs, and they advanced to the series’ decisive game before falling short 2-1.
With a record of 6-2-2, a GAA of 1.49, and a save percentage of.950 in his first 10 games of the 2012–2013 season, Anderson got off to a strong start.
He was chosen as the NHL’s first star for the month of January 2013 as a result of his outstanding performance and was seen as an early favorite to win the Vezina Trophy.
On February 21, 2013, while playing against the New York Rangers, Anderson was struck by Chris Kreider after tripping, and as a result, he had a sprained right ankle.
