Rasmus Andersson will face his former club when the Vegas Golden Knights visit Calgary, marking his first trip back since departing the Flames this summer.
The 29-year-old defenceman spent nine seasons with Calgary before signing a seven-year, $59.5-million contract with Vegas. He told Sportsnet's Eric Francis that his former teammates "are all gonna be friends for the rest of my life." Andersson also weighed in on fans demanding changes, saying they cannot have it both ways.
Calgary has opened the season with a 1-6 record. The club has found the net 14 times, tied for second-lowest in the NHL; only the Kings, with 11, have scored less. The Flames have also allowed 35 goals, second-most in the league, trailing only Vancouver at 41.
Andersson anticipates returning to Scotiabank Saddledome in February. The building, where his son first skated, is approaching its final days as Calgary's home arena.
