Rasmus Andersson could join list of homegrown players to make his Calgary Flames debut

Rasmus Andersson may make his NHL debut tonight.

That’s a pretty strong “may”, though. As an emergency call-up, the only way Andersson can get into the lineup is if both Dougie Hamilton and Michael Stone’s injuries from the 5-0 win over Montreal are bad enough that neither defenceman can dress. In which case, Andersson gives the Flames six healthy defencemen, and both he and Dennis Wideman draw into the lineup.

If just Hamilton (or Stone for that matter, though Hamilton sounds like the less-injured party) is able to play, then Wideman draws in and Andersson, who’s only present strictly in case of emergency, gets to take in the game from the pressbox.
