Regular Season Statistics with the Franchise
Stats in bold signifies team leader.
Anderson made some nice contributions on the ice when he played... Usually in column 6 (penalty minutes). He could put up a
point or two on occasion, but you'd most likely see him drop the gloves and duke it out first.

He was a regular for the most part in his first few seasons with the Devils, but with the emergence of other enforcers, he would
be relegated to playing mostly in Utica up until his contract ran out.

He would sign with the expansion Sharks thereafter and play 48 games for them that season, pulling in 143 PIMs in the process.
That would be his only season with the Sharks, though. He finished his career in the IHL: one season with the San Diego Gulls
and one with the Salt Lake Golden Eagles.

He still holds two Devils records, both playoff records, and both involving the PIMs. He still has the most minutes in one series
(48 against the Islanders), and the most minutes in one playoff season (113).

He would have a hand in establishing the San Jose Sharks Alumni Association in 2002.
