Don't ask Boucher if Anderson will start Game 6

Don Wright / USA Today Sports

Guy Boucher has left no doubt that Craig Anderson is his starter.

The Ottawa Senators goalie allowed four goals on 14 shots in 18:32 of play Sunday during a lopsided Game 5 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins, but the head coach won't entertain the thought of turning to Mike Condon for Game 6.

From the NHL's official postgame transcript:

Reporter: Will you go back to Craig for Game 6?
Boucher: Oh, my God.

Reporter: Got to ask the question.
Boucher: I know you do, but you should not.

So that settles that.

Prior to Sunday, Anderson was the top performer between the pipes through the first week of the third round.
