• Flames' Rasmus Andersson: Ties game on power play

  7D ago • By RotoWire

  Andersson scored a power-play goal on two shots, blocked three shots and added two PIM in Tuesday's 2-1 shootout win over the Islanders. Andersson tied the contest at 8:17 of the third period, ending his seven-game point drought with the goal. The 28-year-old defenseman was red-hot in October before his scoring pace dipped this month. Overall, he has five goals, 12 points, 36 shots on net, 62 blocked shots, 10 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 19 appearances. That production is in line with his two best seasons, so all fantasy managers can ask for from Andersson is a bit more consistency.

• Flames' Rasmus Andersson: Credited with helper

  25D ago • By RotoWire

  Andersson notched an assist, three shots on goal, five blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 3-0 win over the Devils. Andersson had been held off the scoresheet in the previous two games, but he didn't let that turn into an extended slump. He received credit for the secondary helper on Blake Coleman's opening goal at 14:26 of the third period. Through 11 outings, Andersson has four goals, seven assists, 38 blocked shots, 19 shots on net and a plus-4 rating. It's still to be seen if this is a bounce-back season or just a hot start for the 28-year-old blueliner, giving fantasy managers a tough decision between riding his well-rounded production or selling high.

• Flames' Rasmus Andersson: Deposits fourth goal

  30D ago • By RotoWire

  Andersson scored a goal on three shots, blocked two shots and added four PIM in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Jets. Andersson is one of four defensemen in the NHL to earn at least 10 points so far this season. He's done it with four goals and six assists over eight contests, including four points during his active three-game point streak. Andersson has also been strong in his own zone with 26 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating. After a down year of 39 points in 78 regular-season outings, he looks poised for a bounce-back campaign as a leader on the Flames' blue line.

• Flames' Rasmus Andersson: One of each in win

  10/23/2024 • By RotoWire

  Andersson scored a goal on three shots, added an assist and blocked four shots in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Penguins. Andersson already has three multi-point efforts this season. He opened the scoring in the first period and then assisted on Nazem Kadri's game-tying goal in the final minute of regulation. Through six contests, Andersson has racked up three goals, five helpers, nine shots on net, 23 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating. This scoring pace is a little too good to hold up in the long run, but the 27-year-old has displayed 50-point potential in recent years, so he should still be a steady option for fantasy managers.

• Flames' Rasmus Andersson: Hands out assist in win

  10/16/2024 • By RotoWire

  Andersson notched an assist, three blocked shots and two PIM in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Blackhawks. Andersson continues to be a positive for the Flames early in the year, racking up six points, a plus-7 rating, six shots on net and 15 blocks over four contests. The 27-year-old defenseman is playing on the second pairing but has functioned as the No. 2 blueliner on the team. Andersson went 13 games without a multi-point effort to open 2023-24, but he already has two such efforts this year, which is setting him up well in an attempt to get back over the 40-point mark.
