Had a look at some underlying stats when it comes to Andersson vs Nurse that was interesting.
The -18 is an eye sore, no doubt about it. But what's really interesting is how he got to that point.
Andersson is the second highest xGF% defenseman on the Flames with 53.2%, second only to Mark Giordano at 54.08%.
Together they are 56.34% which is the best pairing Calgary has had all season. But in actual results they are a terrible 33% and a -6 overall.
Looking across the league, Rasmus Andersson has the fourth worst xGF% vs GF% in the league at -15%. Michael Stone is +11% which is matching the eye test this season as well.
Nurse has a xGF% of 49.6% and an actual GF% of 47.32%.
Andersson has had freaky bad luck.
