He extended his point streak to four games with helpers on a Vladislav Gavrikov tally in the first period and a Vincent Trocheck goal in the second.

Since the move to the Flames, he's averaged just under 23 minutes of ice time per game, which is nearly nine minutes higher than his average for the season.

Andersson snapped a four-game point drought with the tally. He had been limited to two assists over his previous 10 outings. The 29-year-old hasn't had as much room for his offense to shine in Vegas, but he's playing a key top-four role for a contender. He's at a career-high 12 goals this season, and he's added 25 assists, 145 shots on net, 123 blocked shots, 63 PIM and a minus-1 rating over 66 contests between Vegas and Calgary.

Filip Gustavsson MIN G
Wild's Filip Gustavsson: Falls to Rangers
2h agoGustavsson stopped 14 shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Rangers.
Minnesota dominated play on home ice and out-shot New York 48-18, but Igor Shesterkin stood on his head in the other crease to steal a win. For his part, Gustavsson might want another crack at a Vladislav Gavrikov tally late in the first period -- the defenseman slapped a no-look backhand toward the net from a sharp angle, and Gustavsson was late squeezing the near post -- but otherwise he couldn't be faulted for the result. it was the first time in six starts since the Olympic break that the 27-year-old netminder has given up more than two goals, a stretch in which he's gone 4-2-0 with a stellar 1.69 GAA and .940 save percentage.
-
Igor Shesterkin NYR G
Rangers' Igor Shesterkin: Brilliant in Saturday's win
2h agoShesterkin made 46 saves in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Wild.
The 46 stops were a season high for Shesterkin, topping the 42 he made in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Avalanche back on Dec. 6. The 30-year-old netminder hasn't taken a regulation loss since returning after the Olympic break from a lower-body injury, going 5-0-2 during that stretch with a 2.67 GAA and .916 save percentage -- including wins in his last four outings.
-
Jake Allen NJ G
Devils' Jake Allen: Yields four goals in win
2h agoAllen turned away 27 of 31 shots on net in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Kings.
Allen took to the ice for the first time since Feb. 25 and had his ups and downs, but ultimately seized the win following his strong performance in the third period. Overall, he now has a 13-15-1 record, a 2.69 GAA and a .905 save percentage across 30 appearances this season. While New Jersey has leaned on Jacob Markstrom since his return from the Olympics, Allen's win Saturday could earn him some more opportunities down the stretch. However, he has a 1-4-0 record, 3.09 GAA and an .887 save percentage over his last five outings, so fantasy managers should proceed with caution for the time being when considering Allen as a spot start.
-
Anton Forsberg LA G
Kings' Anton Forsberg: Allows five goals in loss
3h agoForsberg stopped 22 of 27 shots on goal in Saturday's 6-4 loss to New Jersey.
Following a strong second period where Forsberg helped the Kings take a 3-2 lead, he ended up surrendering four goals in the third for New Jersey to steal the win. With the loss, he now has an 11-10-5 record, a 2.83 GAA and a .900 save percentage through 28 appearances this season. The 33-year-old netminder posted a strong stretch of play leading into the Olympic break, but has had mixed results since with a 2-3-0 record, a 3.83 GAA and an .878 save percentage across six outings. Since the return of Darcy Kuemper from the Olympics, Forsberg has only played in one of three games, making his next probable chance to appear during the team's back-to-back in a week's time.
-
David Rittich NYI G
Islanders' David Rittich: Posts strong outing in win
3h agoRittich turned aside 30 of 32 shots on net in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Flames.
Rittich excelled in the first two periods of Saturday's contest, keeping the Flames off the board until 42 minutes into regulation. He ultimately held on for the win and now has a 14-9-3 record, a 2.66 GAA and an .898 save percentage over 26 outings this season. The 33-year-old netminder has alternated wins and losses over his last six games and is now just two wins away from tying the 16 victories he posted with the Los Angeles Kings across 34 regular-season games a year ago. Rittich should continue to be viewed as a strong spot start in fantasy whenever the Islanders decide to give Ilya Sorokin a rest.
-
Devin Cooley CGY G
Flames' Devin Cooley: Gets the hook Saturday
3h agoCooley stopped seven on the 10 shots on goal he saw in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Islanders.
After allowing three goals in the first period of Saturday's contest, Calgary would elect to bench Cooley in favor of Dustin Wolf for the remainder of the game. Cooley was credited with the loss, leaving him with a 7-9-4 record, a 2.55 GAA and a .914 save percentage across 24 appearances this season. Despite struggling in back-to-back contests, the 28-year-old goalie has been solid enough in his secondary role to still warrant consideration as a matchup-dependent spot start. His next chance to bounce back is Monday's road matchup against the Red Wings.
