Andersson notched a power-play assist in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Andersson scored a power-play goal, added four PIM and logged two hits in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
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 notched an assist in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Andersson picked up a helper for the second game in a row and the third time in five games. This was just the third time all season the defenseman did not block a shot. The 28-year-old is at 18 points, 74 shots on net, 101 blocked shots, 32 PIM and a minus-9 rating over 39 appearances in a top-four role.

Andersson logged a power-play assist, two shots on goal, two blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in Thursday's 5-3 loss to Utah.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Andersson logged a power-play assist, two shots on goal and three blocked shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Andersson's helper ended his eight-game point drought. In that span, he went minus-10 with 20 shots on net and 14 blocked shots. The 28-year-old defenseman didn't lose his place in the top four or on the second power-play unit despite the slump, 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.

Andersson scored a power-play goal and added two PIM in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
Andersson has a modest four points over his last eight games, but three of them have come on the power play. His goal Tuesday stood as the game-winner. Andersson has been productive in a top-pairing role this season with six goals, 15 points (three on the power play), 47 shots on net, 77 blocked shots, 24 PIM and a plus-4 rating over 26 appearances. His mix of offense and a little grit makes him a solid fantasy option.

Andersson posted an assist and two shots on goal in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
Andersson has three points over his last six outings. The defenseman helped out on a Blake Coleman tally in this contest. Andersson has mostly played at his usual level in 2024-25 with 14 points, 42 shots on net, 75 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 24 appearances. He's a lock for top-four minutes and power-play time as one of the Flames' top blueliners.

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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

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.
EDGE Analysis
Andersson had been held off the scoresheet in the previous two games, but he didn't let that turn into an extended slump. He received credit for the secondary helper on Blake Coleman's opening goal at 14:26 of the third period. 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.

Andersson scored a goal on three shots, blocked two shots and added four PIM in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Andersson is one of four defensemen in the NHL to earn at least 10 points so far this season. He's done it with four goals and six assists over eight contests, including four points during his active three-game point streak. 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.
