Andersson had a helper and two shots on goal in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
Andersson had gone three games without a point before setting up Matthew Tkachuk's goal near the end of the third period. Andersson is up to two goals and 14 helpers in 71 games this season. While his numbers don't make him fantasy relevant, he's holding the sixth defenseman slot over the likes of rookie Oliver Kylington and veterans Michael Stone and Dalton Prout. His pairing with deadline acquisition Oscar Fantenberg has stabilized one of the Flames' weaknesses from earlier in the year.

Andersson had a helper with the man advantage and three blocked shots in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Andersson snapped a five-game point drought as the Flames' offense returned after a two-week slump. In his first full season at the NHL level, Andersson has two goals and 12 assists in 66 games. While he primarily plays on the third pairing, coach Bill Peters has trusted him alongside Mark Giordano when he shuffles the lineup.

Andersson buried his second goal of the season in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Andersson has picked up a goal and five assists in his last seven contests. The rise coincides with a six-game winning streak for the Flames. The Swedish blueliner also has a plus-7 rating in that span. He has 13 points in 60 games this season, with the recent spike raising his fantasy value in deeper formats.

Andersson notched a helper in Thursday 3-2 defeat to Florida.
EDGE Analysis
Andersson picked up his first point since Jan. 22 against Carolina, but remains bogged down in a 25-game goal drought. The 22-year-old has just eight points in 54 outings this season with his ceiling in the of 10-15 point range, which gives him low-end fantasy value.

Andersson earned a secondary assist against the Bruins on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
With his tally, Andersson ended a nine-game pointless streak. The 21-year-old blueliner has struggled to produce offensively this season, as he has a mere four points in 39 games. The Swede's scoring touch in juniors (148 points in 131 games) is part of the reason the Flames took him 53rd overall in the 2015 NHL Draft, but he simply hasn't been able to transition that part of his game to the NHL.

Andersson is still looking for his first career NHL goal.
EDGE Analysis
Andersson failed to register a shot in Sunday's 1-0 defeat to the Oilers and has put just one puck on net in his previous five outings. The blueliner was tasked with a bigger role on the penalty kill versus Edmonton, as he logged 2:47 of short-handed ice time. Given his lack of offensive production, the Swede is unlikely to offer much in terms of fantasy value.

Andersson was held pointless during Sunday's 4-1 win over the New York Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Despite not registering a goal or an assist, Andersson had a fine outing finishing with a +3 rating in the win. Andersson spent over 19 minutes on the ice, including nearly two minutes of power play time, taking three shots and making a hit in the win.

The Flames recalled Andersson from AHL Stockton on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Travis Hamonic is considered week-to-week with a facial fracture he sustained during a fight with Vancouver's Erik Gudbranson, so Andersson will slot in as the Flames' seventh defensemen for the foreseeable future. The 21-year-old Swede was highly productive in the minors last season, racking up nine goals and 39 points in 56 appearances, so he could be worth a look in daily contests if and when he cracks the lineup.

Andersson was assigned to AHL Stockton on Tuesday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
As Calgary's 2015 second-round (53rd overall) draft pick, Andersson remains an intriguing blue-line prospect, but the Flames can afford to let him bide his time in the minors since they traded for Noah Hanifin and will roll with Juuse Valimaki -- he was a 2017 first-rounder -- for Opening Night against the Canucks on Wednesday.
