Anderson has not played since Dec. 2, missing the past month and change with an upper-body injury.
The 27-year-old skated in a non-contact jersey at practice earlier this week.
In 25 games before the injury, Anderson recorded seven goals and six assists while averaging 17:07 of ice time per game.
After their showdown with the Coyotes, the Habs will take on the Dallas Stars Tuesday in a back-to-back. Montreal currently sits last in the NHL with 19 points in 36 games entering play Saturday.
