Andersson recorded an assist, two shots on goal, two PIM and a minus-2 rating in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
Andersson has been solid on offense to begin 2022-23, with a goal and three helpers (two on the power play) in four games. His helper Thursday set up a Nikita Zadorov tally in the third period. Andersson has supplemented his fantasy value with six PIM, nine shots on net, four blocked shots, three hits and a minus-2 rating. He's not overly physical but he has a little pepper in his game, which should keep his production well-rounded.

Andersson registered a power-play assist and four shots on goal in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Andersson had a shot that generated a rebound for Tyler Toffoli to bury on the game-tying goal. With a goal and two power-play helpers through three games, Andersson is well on his way to proving last year's 50-point breakout season was no fluke. The Swede has added seven shots on net, four PIM, four blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating this season.

Andersson scored a goal on three shots, dished a power-play assist and added two PIM in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Andersson took a roughing penalty in a scrum in the second period. He made up for it immediately after his time was served, cashing in a breakaway goal to stretch the Flames' lead to 3-1. He'd also help out on a Tyler Toffoli tally in the third. Last year was the long-awaited breakout for Andersson -- he had 50 points in 82 games while taking on a top-pairing role. The 25-year-old should produce at a similar rate in 2022-23.

Andersson scored a shorthanded goal on four shots and added four PIM in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Oilers in Game 4.
EDGE Analysis
Andersson's goal was remarkable -- a 132-foot shot from his own zone at the end of a penalty kill that Oilers goalie Mike Smith never saw. That goal tied the game at 3-3, but the Oilers retook the lead and Andersson took a double-minor for high-sticking, effectively ending the Flames' chances of catching up again. The Swedish blueliner has three goals, three helpers, 23 shots on net, 13 hits, 11 blocked shots, 23 PIM and a minus-6 rating in 11 playoff contests.

Andersson scored a goal on two shots, added two assists and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 9-6 win over the Oilers in Game 1.
EDGE Analysis
Andersson had just two points in seven games versus the Stars, so this was a big bump in offense. The Swedish blueliner hadn't posted a multi-point effort since April 26. He's up to five points, 14 shots on net, nine blocked shots, 19 PIM and a minus-3 rating in eight playoff contests.

EDGE Analysis
Andersson tallied during a 5-on-3 midway through the second period. The tally snapped a five-game point drought for the 25-year-old defenseman. He's added five shots on net, four blocked shots, a minus-3 rating and 17 PIM through four playoff contests in what's often been a tight-checking series.

Andersson posted a pair of assists, seven shots on goal, a plus-3 rating and two hits in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
This was Andersson's second two-assist game in his last three outings, and it got him to the 50-point mark for the season. It's an impressive milestone for the 25-year-old, who had not put up more than 22 points in his previous three seasons. He's thrived in a larger role that has also seen him amass 143 shots on net, 122 blocked shots, 19 power-play points and a plus-31 rating in 80 appearances.
