Andersson scored a goal on three shots, added an assist and blocked four shots in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Andersson scored a goal on two shots, dished two assists, went plus-4 and blocked three shots in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Andersson opened the scoring in the second period and then helped out on goals by Anthony Mantha and Justin Kirkland in the third. This was the second multi-point effort in three games for Andersson this season, as he is thriving despite a somewhat limited power-play role. He's added a plus-6 rating, five shots on net and 12 blocked shots while playing in a top-four role.

Andersson scored a goal on three shots, added an assist and blocked six shots in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Andersson tallied in the second period and helped out on Connor Zary's game-winning goal in overtime. After producing just 39 points in 78 regular-season games in 2023-24, Andersson enters this season in line for a smaller role, particularly in regard to his power-play usage. He's slipped behind MacKenzie Weegar as the Flames' top blueliner, but Andersson can still push for the 40-point mark while adding hearty totals in shots on goal and blocked shots.

Andersson logged an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
The helper was Andersson's 200th career point. The defenseman fell short of the 40-point mark for the first time in three years, ending 2023-24 with nine goals, 30 helpers, 159 shots on net, 186 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating over 78 appearances. Despite the drop in offense, he remains a top-four defenseman capable of taking minutes in all situations heading into 2024-25.

Andersson produced two assists, four hits and six blocked shots in Sunday's 6-5 win over the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Andersson earned his first multi-point effort since Feb. 19. He helped out on tallies by Yegor Sharangovich and Nazem Kadri as part of the Flames' rally after falling behind 5-3 in the second period. Andersson is up to 38 points, 157 shots on net, 183 blocked shots, 42 hits, 42 PIM and a minus-11 rating through 76 contests overall. The defenseman has a modest three points over seven outings in April.

Andersson scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Andersson's offense has come around a bit recently -- he has four points and 23 shots on net over his last nine contests. The defenseman is up to nine goals, 36 points, 153 shots, 176 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating through 73 outings overall. Andersson continues to see significant minutes in a top-four role.

Andersson produced a power-play assist, four shots on goal and two blocked shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Andersson has three points over his last five games, including a pair of power-play assists. His lack of production with the man advantage has played a large role in his down season. The 27-year-old defenseman is at 35 points (eight on the power play), 143 shots on net, 164 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating over 69 appearances, though he remains in a top-four role with significant minutes.

Andersson notched a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Andersson has two points over his last four games, matching his output from the prior 12 contests. The 27-year-old helped out on a Jonathan Huberdeau marker in the first period. Andersson has endured a down year, logging 34 points (seven on the power play), 139 shots on net, 162 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating through 68 appearances. He's still on the second power-play unit, but the Flames have used Daniil Miromanov on the first unit since they acquired him from the Golden Knights in the Noah Hanifin trade.

Andersson scored a goal in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Andersson snapped a seven-game point drought with his second-period tally. The 27-year-old hasn't helped fill the void in blue-line production created when Noah Hanifin was traded to the Golden Knights. Andersson is at eight goals, 33 points, 131 shots on net, 153 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating over 65 appearances this season. The 27-year-old should continue to see top-four minutes, but expectations for his offense down the stretch should be tempered.
