Andersson scored a goal on three shots, added an assist and blocked six shots in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Canucks.

Andersson tallied in the second period and helped out on Connor Zary's game-winning goal in overtime. After producing just 39 points in 78 regular-season games in 2023-24, Andersson enters this season in line for a smaller role, particularly in regard to his power-play usage. He's slipped behind MacKenzie Weegar as the Flames' top blueliner, but Andersson can still push for the 40-point mark while adding hearty totals in shots on goal and blocked shots.
