Goaltender Mike Condon will play his 25th consecutive game and make his 15th straight start when the Senators play at the Florida Panthers on Tuesday (7:30 p.m. ET; FS-F, RDS-2, TSN5, NHL.TV). Andrew Hammond will be the backup.
Anderson said he's been enthused by how the Senators, especially Condon, have done in his absence. They are 11-6-4 in 21 games since he left the team and are second in the Atlantic Division. Condon is 12-6-5 with a 2.50 goals-against average and .913 save percentage in his past 24 games.
"We've found ways to keep getting points, winning games," he said. "[Condon] has stepped up and been great for us and carried the load."
Anderson also said he has a new perspective about life, and hockey, after being with his wife during her treatment.
"It makes you realize how lucky and fortunate we are to play a game we love," he said. "Win or lose, it's a hockey game. There's more to life. You learn that when you have kids, but when you go through something this traumatic and this difficult, hockey is a job. It's something we're passionate about, but at the end of the day, hockey will go on whether I'm in it or not.
"You don't know how much time you have with someone. Life is precious."
