Playing career

Junior

As a 14-year old with the Edge School Mountaineers Bantam AAA team, Anderson-Dolan scored 103 points in 50 games. [2]

Anderson-Dolan was drafted 14th in the 2014 WHL Bantam Draft to the Spokane Chiefs. [3] He was expected to be one of the top 5 selections but slipped because some teams did not want to draft him because of his family situation. [3] He put up 76 points in 72 regular season games in his sophomore 2016–17 season. [4] He ended the season as the 21st ranked North American skater by NHL Central Scouting. [5]

Professional

Anderson-Dolan was drafted 41st overall in the 2nd round of the 2017 NHL Entry Draft by the Los Angeles Kings. [6] [7] He signed a three-year entry level contract with the Kings on September 25, 2017. [8]

After completing the 2017–18 season with the Chiefs, Anderson-Dolan was loaned to the Kings American Hockey League affiliate, the Ontario Reign, on April 6, 2018. [9]

After attending the Kings training camp, Anderson-Dolan was named to the Kings opening night roster. [10] Sitting as a healthy scratch for the Kings first game on October 5, [11] he made his NHL debut on October 7 against the Detroit Red Wings. By making his debut, Anderson-Dolan became the youngest Kings player since Craig Redmond in 1984 [12] and 10th youngest in franchise history. [13] Two games later on October 11, he recorded his first career NHL point, an assist on Michael Amadio's goal, in a 3–0 win over the Montreal Canadiens. [14] He was reassigned to the Spokane Chiefs on October 22, after playing in five NHL games and earning one point, [15] and in the same day was added to Team WHL to compete at the 2018 CHL Canada/Russia Series. [16] The following day, Anderson-Dolan was named co-captain of the Chiefs alongside Ty Smith. [17] On March 16, 2019, Anderson-Dolan was awarded the Chiefs' Players' Player award for the 2018–19 season. [18]

In the 2020–21 season, the Kings named Anderson-Dolan to their taxi squad. [19] He was recalled to the active roster on February 5, 2021, and on February 7 scored his first NHL goal on Robin Lehner in a 4–3 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights. [20]

As a restricted free agent, Anderson-Dolan was signed to a one-year, two-way contract extension with the Kings on July 23, 2022. [21]

He collected his first career multi-goal game in the NHL on January 22, 2023, scoring both Kings goals in a 2–1 win over the Chicago Blackhawks. [22]

During the 2023–24 season, on March 7, 2024, Anderson-Dolan was claimed by the Nashville Predators off waivers from the Kings. [23]
