Flames' Rasmus Andersson: Assists twice in win
Rotowire
Andersson added two assists in Monday's 6-3 win over Winnipeg.
Those apples snap a seven-game stretch without a point for the defender. While the lack of points has been disappointing, he continues to play well defensively and eat up big minutes for the Flames, consistently playing over 21 minutes per game. Perhaps Monday's assists can be a launching pad for getting him involved in the offense again. In the nine games prior to that slump, Andersson had one goals and seven points.

Flames' Rasmus Andersson: Collects two points Thursday
Rotowire
Andersson provided a goal and an assist in Calgary's 6-3 win over Nashville on Thursday.
Andersson's marker, which came late in the first period, put Calgary up 4-2 and proved to be the game-winner. The 27-year-old has six tallies this season and two of them have been GWGs, which is similar to the unusually high rate of deciding markers he potted in 2022-23 (four of his 11 goals were GWGs). That's just a nice bonus for fantasy managers, as Andersson is a solid defenseman regardless with 21 points, a plus-1 rating, 29 PIM, 80 shots and 95 hits in 34 contests this season. The only significant blemish is he has just four points (all assists) with the man advantage despite having a role on the main power-play unit, though he did get a power-play helper Thursday, so perhaps that will be the start of a run.
