Although Andersson has been the Calgary Flames' lone offensive-defensemen�throughout their saddened�success thus far this season, that is not what the team's worried about right now.�
We would want to send Rasmus our best wishes and prayers. There is an update from the Calgary Flames:
«He's doing well and is in good spirits. He's very lucky - it certainly could have been a lot worse. He's a little rattled. We'll list him as day to day. He won't play tonight and then we'll see. No injuries we are overly concerned about but we will see.»
Thankfully no injuries were drawn from this incident, and we wish Rasmus the best moving forward.
