BREAKING: Canucks terminates key player’s contract.
The optimism that veteran Canadiens forward Josh Anderson carried into this season has long since disappeared.
Now in his eighth full NHL season, only once has Anderson failed to hit double digits in goals. That occurred in 2019-20, when he underwent season-ending shoulder surgery and was limited to 26 games.
But heading into Tuesday night’s home game against Florida (7 p.m., TSN2, RDS, TSN Radio-690, 98.5 FM), Anderson has eight goals and 18 points in 69 games. He has been playing on a line with Jake Evans and Jesse Ylönen.
Management remains in his corner.
“I think the effort is there,” head coach Martin St. Louis said Monday. “I think the intentions are there. It could be a hard year for him, right. I think he expects more. I think he was snake-bitten for a while. I felt he was coming. Then the injury happened.”
