What a dream start to the NHL season!
Rasmus Andersson is really flying forward in North America.
Last night, he put on an incomparable solo show that paved the way for the Calgary Flames’ third straight victory.
Already in 2014 left Rasmus Andersson Swedish hockey and Malmö Redhawks to try their luck in North America. Through two seasons in the OHL and two seasons in the AHL, he managed to establish himself in the NHL in 2018.
Andersson’s success
The 27-year-old defenseman is now in his ninth season in the NHL with the Calgary Flames and this could be the best so far in his career. Andersson has really had a dream start to the new season with five points in the first three games and helped his Flames to three straight victories.

Rasmus’ solo show
The Calgary defender won the puck for himself in his own zone and then accelerated, on the way to the goal he spun past the opponents with playful ease. And one of the fired-up Oilers players was himself Connor McDavid.
