Luckily for Andersson, it seems like he was not too harmed by the accident as he was released from the hospital last night.
Andersson is a key piece to the Flames blue line and has scored 7 goals and 27 assists in 51 games this season for the Flames. He plays in all situations for the Flames and will be a crucial piece in their playoff push.
UPDATE ON ANDERSSON: 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.»
