Blackhawks' Joey Anderson: Chips in with helper
Rotowire
Anderson provided an assist and blocked two shots in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.
Anderson helped out on Jason Dickinson's third-period tally. The assist was Anderson's first point in five outings this season. He's added five hits, six blocked shots, four shots on net and a minus-1 rating while playing on the third line. The 26-year-old looks to be a fixture in the lineup, but playing in a bottom-six role for the Blackhawks is unlikely to lead to significant offense.

Blackhawks' Joey Anderson: Questionable for Saturday
Rotowire
Anderson is under the weather ahead of Saturday's matchup with Buffalo, Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN reports.
Anderson hasn't exactly impressed through five games this season with just one point and four shots to show for it. Still, the 26-year-old winger managed only 17 points in 55 games last year, so it's not like there were high expectations for a productive campaign. Without a role on the power-play, it seems unlikely Anderson will suddenly start scoring with consistency. If he does miss out Saturday, Andreas Athanasiou would likely step into his spot in the lineup.
