Ottawa Senators goaltender Craig Anderson went through his first practice Thursday since slicing his finger three weeks ago. Anderson has been sidelined since he cut a tendon in his pinky while cooking dinner at his home on Feb. 22. The 30-year-old Anderson told the Ottawa Citizen that he will need a few more practices to get his timing back. He owns a 29-19-6 record and 2.85 goals-against average this season for Ottawa, which has 11 games remaining in the regular season. Rookie Ben Bishop has taken over the starting job in Anderson's absence.
