He was already banged up and playing through an injury when he took a hard fall into the boards in the final minutes live from the Bell Centre.
The Canadiens then announced that the forward had to immediately retreat to the locker room.
We will keep you updated on any developments regarding this situation, but for now, we can only applaud (once again) Anderson's courage.
A true warrior!
See journalist Eric Engels' post on the matter.

Let's sincerely hope it's nothing too serious for Anderson, who has been playing his best hockey in a long time, even while injured.
In conclusion, I'll leave you with an excellent observation from Maxime Truman.
'Anderson never fully straightened his back after his collision with the boards.Is he dealing with a back injury?
Was he already injured before?'
More details to come, and we may get fresh updates during head coach Martin St-Louis' press conference.
