Ottawa Senators goaltender Craig Anderson will miss an undetermined amount of time to tend to a personal matter, and in turn, the club has recalled netminder Chris Driedger from the AHL, the team announced Thursday.
"With the support of the entire organization, we've provided Craig with a leave of absence so that he can attend to a personal matter at home," general manager Pierre Dorion said. "While we are uncertain of how long Craig may be away, he will continue to have our support for as much time as is needed."
Driedger, 22, started two games for the Binghamton Senators this season, posting a 0.96 goals-against average and .961 save percentage.
Ottawa plays the Calgary Flames on Friday.
