Anderson scored a goal and blocked five shots in Thursday's 6-5 overtime win over the Senators.
Anderson has tallied twice over the last three games. The 27-year-old defenseman's contributions remain primarily on the defensive side of the ice, so don't expect this bump in offense to last. He has three points, seven shots on net, 13 hits, 22 blocks and a minus-1 rating across 12 appearances this season, playing mainly in a bottom-four role.

Kings' Mikey Anderson: Adds to big win with goal
Rotowire
Anderson recorded a goal, placed two shots on net and put out two hits in Monday's 6-3 win over the Rangers.
Anderson added onto the early onslaught of goals the Kings compiled within the first two periods, as he added the team's fifth tally of the night just under 27 minutes into the contest. Overall, the 27-year-old blueliner is up to two points, six shots on net, 11 hits and 16 blocked shots across 10 outings this season. His fantasy ceiling is capped by his third-line role and lack of special-teams opportunities, but he's shown enough flashes of capable play to be a streaming option in deep leagues if one of the Kings' top-four blueliners went down to injury.

Rotowire
Anderson logged two assists, two shots on goal, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Canucks.

Kings' Mikey Anderson: Good to go against Knights
Rotowire
Anderson (upper body) has been activated off injured reserve and will be in the lineup versus Vegas on Wednesday, per NHL.com.
Considering Anderson is currently stuck in a 26-game goal drought and has chipped in just two helpers over that stretch, his return to action is unlikely to have a significant fantasy impact. Still, having the defensively-minded blueliner back on the top pairing could free up Drew Doughty to jump in offensively.

Kings' Mikey Anderson: Slated to play after Olympic break
Rotowire
Anderson (upper body) should be available once the Olympic break is over, Anthony Collazo of MayorsManor.com reports Wednesday.
The Kings will resume their schedule next Wednesday against Vegas. While it looks like Anderson will draw back into the lineup for that game, he needs to be activated off injured reserve before that can happen. The 26-year-old has two goals, nine points, 14 PIM, 59 hits and 77 blocks in 54 appearances this season.
