6 days agoCalgary Flames defenseman Rasmus Andersson registered his second three-point game of the season as the team took down the New York Islanders 4-3 in overtime Saturday night. Andersson scored all of his points with assists, helping Matt Coronato, Jonathan Huberdeau, and Nazem Kadri light the lamp. Following the 4 Nations break, Andersson went eight games without any points, but he has since found some form. Over his last six appearances, Andersson has averaged a point per game. However, it has been a tough campaign overall for Andersson, who has settled for 27 points (nine goals, 18 assists) in 69 games while recording a minus-25 rating.

1 year agoCalgary Flames defenseman Rasmus Andersson will remain sidelined this week after NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman upheld his four-game suspension. Andersson received the suspension for a high hit on Columbus forward Patrik Laine last week. The NHLPA appealed the suspension on Andersson's behalf at the weekend but to no avail. The Swedish rearguard will sit out the second game of the suspension on Tuesday against the Rangers and will be eligible to return to action next Wednesday versus the Stars.
