Craig Anderson had himself some kind of weekend

Craig Anderson did what no other goalie's been able to do this season: shut out the New York Rangers.

Playing in back-to-back games Saturday and Sunday, the Ottawa Senators' tender recorded 33 saves in Manhattan in a 2-0 win, and stopped a remarkable 65 of 66 shots he faced over the weekend.

Anderson, who took a leave of absence after his wife was diagnosed with cancer in late October, went into Sunday's game with a stellar .932 save percentage - and it's going up. He's won four straight starts, allowing only five goals combined.

With everything on Anderson's plate, his play in November has been nothing short of inspiring. After the shutout over New York, he has a .943 save percentage in 11 starts this month.
