Flames' Rasmus Andersson: Ends slump Wednesday
Rotowire

He ended the slump by springing Nazem Kadri with a long-range pass on the goal that tied the game at 1-1 late in the first period. Andersson has been prone to some lengthy droughts this season, and it doesn't help that the Flames have a weak offense. The 28-year-old blueliner is at eight goals, 14 assists, 124 shots on net, 157 blocked shots, 50 PIM and a minus-22 rating over 64 outings.
Flames' Rasmus Andersson: Tallies in Thursday's loss
Rotowire
Andersson scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Avalanche.
Andersson's goal came late in the third period -- too late to make a difference in the result. He has three points over his last eight outings, but offense has been hard to come by on one of the lower-scoring teams in the league. For the season, the 28-year-old defenseman is at eight goals, 21 points, 108 shots on net, 127 blocked shots, 48 PIM and a minus-15 rating over 54 appearances.
Andersson notched a power-play assist in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Kraken.
Andersson has two points, 12 PIM and 10 blocked shots over his last six outings. His offense has been sporadic at best since the start of November, but he's remained a defensive stalwart for the Flames. The 28-year-old is up to 20 points (seven on the power play), 104 shots on net, 123 blocks, 48 PIM and a minus-11 rating through 52 contests in a top-four role.

Flames' Rasmus Andersson: Ends goal drought
Rotowire
Andersson scored a power-play goal, added four PIM and logged two hits in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Wild.
Andersson was a thorn in the Wild's side all game, especially after shoving Marc-Andre Fleury in the mask during a net-front scrum. The defenseman got the last laugh with a goal in the second period, ending his slump of seven contests without a point and 20 games without a goal. His poor January has done a number on his overall production -- he has seven tallies, 19 points (six on the power play), 92 shots on net, 114 blocked shots, 40 PIM and a minus-10 rating through 47 appearances. He's among the top shot-blockers in the league and needs to be rostered in fantasy formats that count that category, but the rest of his numbers remain pedestrian.

Andersson has two helpers over his last four games, and both have come on the power play. He has just four points over his last 15 appearances, but as long as he remains involved with the man advantage, he'll have a decent chance of turning things around. The 28-year-old blueliner is at six goals, 11 assists, 73 shots on net, 100 blocked shots, 32 PIM and a minus-9 rating through 38 contests this season.

Despite the slump, the 28-year-old defenseman didn't lose his place in the top four or on the second power-play unit, and he should get back to being productive moving forward. Overall, he has 16 points, 69 shots, 94 blocks, 26 PIM and a minus-6 rating over 35 outings this season.

Flames' Rasmus Andersson: Ties game on power play
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
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. 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
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 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
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.
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.
