Anderson has been out since Jan. 21 with a hand injury. Prior to that, he was 13-11-7 with a 2.37 goals-against average and .927 save percentage, which is tied for third in the NHL.
The Senators are still without backup goaltender Robin Lehner, who was injured Feb. 16 when he sustained a concussion in a collision with teammate Clarke McArthur. With both Anderson and Lehner out, Hammond, a 27-year-old rookie, has gone 5-0-0 with a .957 save percentage and a 1.31 goals-against average.
Ottawa also announced that goalie Chris Driedger was re-assigned to Evansville of the ECHL.
