Andersson recorded a power-play assist, two shots on goal, three blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Andersson snapped his three-game point drought with the secondary helper on Elias Lindholm's tally in the final minute. It's notable Andersson's assist came with the man advantage -- he was dropped from the Flames' power play altogether earlier in the week and saw just 23 seconds with the man advantage Saturday. As the team's top offensive blueliner, it's likely that change is temporary. Andersson has 12 points (three on the power play), 47 shots on net, 43 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 20 contests this season.

Andersson has served his four-game suspension and will be eligible to play against Dallas on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Prior to his ban, Andersson was averaging 23:39 of ice time, including 4:08 with the man advantage. With his suspension behind him, the blueliner should get back to eating up big minutes and rejoining that No. 1 power-play unit. Offensively, the Swede has recorded one goal, two assists and 13 shots in his five outings this year.

Andersson's four-game suspension was upheld by NHL commissioner Gary Bettman on Tuesday. He had been appealing his punishment for charging Columbus' Patrik Laine (upper body) during Friday's contest.
EDGE Analysis
Andersson doesn't have the option to elevate his appeal to an independent arbitrator because his punishment is under six games. He already served one contest of his suspension while awaiting Bettman's ruling, so Andersson will be eligible to return for Calgary's match against Dallas on Nov. 1. The 26-year-old defenseman has a goal and three points in five contests while averaging 23:39 of ice time this season.

Andersson will appeal his four-game suspension for charging Columbus' Patrik Laine (upper body) on Friday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
EDGE Analysis
Andersson's appeal will be heard by NHL commissioner Gary Bettman, who will have the final say on the matter. For an independent arbitrator to be involved in an appeal, the suspension needs to be for at least six games. Andersson won't be eligible to play in Sunday's contest against Detroit.
