Anderson ties Senators record for all-time postseason wins

Marc DesRosiers-USA TODAY Sports / USA TODAY Sports

Craig Anderson turned in a sensational Game 6 performance, stopping 45 of 46 shots in Ottawa's 2-1 victory to stave off elimination. With the win, Anderson earned his way into the Senators' record books, tying Patrick Lalime for the club's all-time record with 21 postseason wins.

The victory came after a forgettable Game 5 performance in which he was yanked after allowing four goals on 14 shots in a 7-0 blowout loss on his 36th birthday.

In Anderson's last four games when facing elimination, he is 3-1 with a 0.76 GAA and a .978 save percentage.

Anderson has continued to show that no amount of adversity, in the crease and in life, is too much for him to handle. His wife Nicholle, of course, has been battling a rare form of throat cancer since October.
