Josh Anderson (ice hockey)
[5] During the 2015–16 season, Anderson underwent surgery to repair a small orbital fracture that had occurred during a preseason game, and was expected to miss up to four weeks to recover.[7] He was returned to the American Hockey League (AHL) shortly thereafter where he helped lead Columbus' affiliate Cleveland Monsters to the 2016 Calder Cup championship.[9] The following season was a breakout one for Anderson in which he played the entire 82-game campaign setting a career high 47 points as the Blue Jackets advanced to the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs for the first time in franchise history.[19] In preparation for the 2021–22 season, Anderson began playing on a line with Jonathan Drouin and former London Knights teammate Christian Dvorak, who had just been traded to the Canadiens.[23] As the team continued to struggle coach Dominique Ducharme was sacked and replaced with Martin St-Louis, who revamped the lineup and created a new first line with Anderson, Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield that immediately began producing results.His season ended prematurely when he sustained a high ankle sprain in a March 21 game against the Lightning, after being driven into the net by defenceman Mikhail Sergachev.[34] Following the 2021–22 campaign, with Montreal not qualifying for the Stanley Cup playoffs, Anderson accepted an invitation to join the Canadian national senior team at the 2022 IIHF World Championship in Tampere.[36] Through nine tournament games, Anderson amassed a goal and six assists, including one during his country's 6–1 semifinal victory over the Czech Republic to reach the championship final,[37] and another in the ensuing 4–3 overtime loss to Finland to earn a silver medal.
