Skating Monday Anderson (illness) was on the ice for Monday's practice session, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Questionable for Saturday Anderson is under the weather ahead of Saturday's matchup with Buffalo, Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN reports.
Impact Anderson hasn't exactly impressed through five games this season with just one point and four shots to show for it. Still, the 26-year-old winger managed only 17 points in 55 games last year, so it's not like there were high expectations for a productive campaign. Without a role on the power-play, it seems unlikely Anderson will suddenly start scoring with consistency. If he does miss out Saturday, Andreas Athanasiou would likely step into his spot in the lineup.
