Andersson had an assist in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Andersson got the puck up to Sean Monahan, who found Johnny Gaudreau for the second-period tally. The Swedish blueliner is up to 13 points and 86 shots on goal in 46 games this season. He signed a six-year contract extension Wednesday -- the 23-year-old figures to be a fixture on the Flames' blue line for a long time. While his offense isn't up to standard for widespread fantasy appeal, he should benefit in that regard by an eventual permanent move into the top-four on defense.

Andersson signed a six-year contract extension worth $4.55 million AAV on Wednesday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Andersson has committed to the Flames through the 2025-26 season, which is the longest any Flames blueliner is locked down for. The 23-year-old has posted 12 points through 45 games, but his defensive contributions are more impressive, as he's recorded a 52.9 Corsi For percentage so far.

Andersson recorded a power-play assist in Sunday's 5-4 shootout win over the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Andersson got the puck to the front of the net, and Milan Lucic did the rest for the Flames' first goal. The Swedish blueliner is up to 12 points (three on the power play), 84 shots on goal and 55 blocked shots in 44 games.

Andersson scored a goal, blocked two shots and added two PIM in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Andersson's tally late in the second period gave the Flames some hope, but they couldn't carry that momentum into the third. He's up to three goals, 11 points, 31 PIM and 79 shots on goal in 41 contests this season.

Andersson has no points, a minus-6 rating and 14 PIM in his last six games.

EDGE Analysis

Andersson has hit the skids recently. The Swede has 10 points, a minus-9 rating, 75 shots on goal and 48 blocked shots in 39 outings this season. He's not quite a viable fantasy option for most owners yet, but those in dynasty leagues may want to stash the up-and-coming 23-year-old. He's the heir apparent to Mark Giordano on the blue line -- if the comparison holds up, Andersson could be a good player for a long time.

Andersson notched a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Coyotes.

EDGE Analysis

Andersson set up Milan Lucic for a tip-in goal in the third period. With the helper, Andersson is at 10 points in 33 games this year. He's added 64 shots, 35 blocked shots and 15 PIM.

Andersson recorded an assist, two shots on goal, a pair of hits and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

Andersson's helper came on Sean Monahan's second-period tally. With T.J. Brodie and Travis Hamonic back in the lineup, Andersson has returned to third-pairing duties. The Swede has nine points, 59 shots on goal and 32 blocked shots in 30 appearances this season.

Andersson posted an assist and two hits in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

Andersson has bounced back from a six-game point drought with assists in each of his last two games. The Swede is at eight points, 55 shots on goal, 28 blocked shots and 20 hits through 27 games this season.

Andersson picked up an assist and two blocked shots in Saturday's 3-2 shootout win over the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

The helper snapped a six-game dry spell for the Swedish defenseman. Andersson now has seven points, 28 blocked shots and 54 shots on goal through 26 contests. He should continue to see time on the top pairing with Mark Giordano while T.J. Brodie (undisclosed) is out -- but Brodie could return during the Flames' current road trip.

Andersson has just 15 shots on goal, seven hits and eight blocked shots in his last five games while posting a minus-5 rating.

EDGE Analysis

Andersson's cold spell has him stuck on six points in 24 games. However, injuries to two Flames defenders have afford the Swede a spot on the top pairing with Mark Giordano. He's been used sparingly in that role for the last year-plus, but he's likely to stay there until either Travis Hamonic (lower body) or T.J. Brodie (undisclosed) return. The 23-year-old could see a short-term boost in offense in the mean time.
