Golden Knights' Rasmus Andersson: Scores in loss to Ottawa
Rotowire
Andersson scored a goal in Sunday's 7-1 loss to the Senators.
Andersson played a team-high 30 shifts and produced all the offense the Golden Knights could muster with a wrister midway through the third period. However, by that time, Vegas was already losing 7-0, so the goal was only to avoid the shutout. Andersson was acquired by the Golden Knights earlier this month in a trade with the Flames and has recorded points in his first two outings with his new team, tallying one goal, one assist, four shots on goal, five blocked shots and one hit in that span.

Golden Knights' Rasmus Andersson: Picks up helper in Vegas debut
Rotowire
Andersson recorded an assist, three blocked shots, two shots on net and a plus-1 rating in Friday's 6-3 win over the Maple Leafs.
Making his first appearance for the Golden Knights since being acquired from the Flames on Sunday, Andersson was slotted onto a pairing with former Calgary teammate Noah Hanifin and looked comfortable in his new surroundings. Andersson didn't see any power-play time, however, and he may have a hard time dislodging Hanifin or Shea Theodore from their assignments with the man advantage. Andersson had 10 goals and 31 points in 49 games with the Flames prior to the trade, but he might have a hard time matching that scoring pace with the Knights.

With Vegas, Andersson should remain in the mix for power-play ice time and continue producing offensively.

Golden Knights' Rasmus Andersson: Dealt to Vegas
Rotowire

Flames' Rasmus Andersson: Two points Tuesday
Rotowire

Andersson set up Matthew Coronato's power-play goal late in the second period and later added a tally of his own in the early stages of the final frame. However, those contributions weren't enough to secure a victory for Calgary. Andersson is up to nine points this season, but four of those (two goals, two helpers) have come over his last four games.

Andersson found the back of the net at 14:29 of the second period, 25 seconds after Matthew Coronato's goal, with a wrister that went past Jordan Binnington. This was Andersson's first goal since Oct. 20, and while he can deliver solid numbers in the physicality department, he ultimately isn't producing enough to warrant much fantasy consideration despite his top-pair role in the lineup.

He was limited to 31 points over 81 appearances in 2024-25, his lowest total in four years, and he's not trending toward a bounce-back campaign early in 2025-26.
