Craig Anderson was unbeatable.

The Ottawa Senators netminder turned aside all 28 shots that came his way in Saturday's NHL 100 Classic against the Montreal Canadiens.

In doing so, Anderson became the fourth goaltender to record a shutout when the NHL has taken it outdoors, joining the likes of Miikka Kiprusoff, Jonas Hiller, and Cam Talbot.

Goalie Game Opponent Saves
Kiprusoff 2011 Heritage Classic Canadiens 39
Hiller 2014 Stadium Series Kings 36
Talbot 2016 Heritage Classic Jets 31

It was a big victory for Anderson, who entered Saturday's contest with a 3.05 goals-against average and .897 save percentage.
