Josh Anderson, who had been going through the most significant scoring drought of his career, finally broke his goalless streak in a 4-2 victory over the Seattle Kraken on Monday night. Before this game, he hadn't scored in 24 matches this season, collecting only three assists during this period.
Anderson's long-awaited goal, scored into an empty net, must have brought him immense relief. The reaction of his teammates, especially Cole Caufield's evident joy at the bench, highlights the team's camaraderie and support for Anderson.
Speaking about his goal after the game, Anderson expressed his appreciation for the love and support from the fans at the Bell Centre, emphasizing it as one of the key reasons he enjoys playing for the Montreal organization.
The hope is that this goal will boost Anderson's confidence and mark a turning point in his offensive performance. His recent play, including three points in the last two games, suggests he may be on the path to regaining his scoring touch.
