Thursday was bittersweet for Ottawa Senators goaltender Craig Anderson.
His club fell in Game 7 in double overtime to the Pittsburgh Penguins, missing out on the chance to play for the Stanley Cup. However, as Anderson explained Saturday, he'd received some great news about his wife Nicholle's health before the game.
Anderson says Nicholle informed him the AM of Game 7 all her scans have back "clean". "She didn't want to tell me," said Anderson #Sens

In November, the team announced that Nicholle had been diagnosed with a rare form of neck cancer. After the diagnosis, Craig took multiple leaves of absence to support his wife.
Suffice to say it wasn't all bad news for the Andersons on Thursday.
