Flames' Rasmus Andersson: Ties game on power play
Rotowire

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.

Through 11 outings, Andersson has four goals, seven assists, 38 blocked shots, 19 shots on net and a plus-4 rating.

Flames' Rasmus Andersson: One of each in win
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.

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
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.

Flames' Rasmus Andersson: Two points in comeback win
Rotowire
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.
