UPDATE ON RASMUS ANDERSSON

At approximately 6:00 p.m. ET, Wednesday, February 8 in Detroit, MI, while riding a scooter on his way to dinner, Flames defenceman Rasmus Andersson was struck by a vehicle. Andersson was taken to local hospital for a full battery of tests before being released last night. Andersson is doing well, and he will remain with the team. He is listed as day-to-day.

"The good news - and the most important thing - is that Ras is doing well," Flames GM Brad Treliving told the media this morning in Detroit. "He was transported by ambulance to Detroit Receiving Hospital. ... I want to make sure we thank the medical staff there and specifically Dr. D. Our medical staff was in consulation with them and the folks at the hospital.
"He's doing well. In good spirits. We're lucky. Very lucky. It certainly could have been a lot worse. We want to make sure that we thank all those involved (in his care) and let everybody know that Ras is doing well.
"He won't play tonight. ... But he got hit, so we're going to see how things go over the next 24 hours and go from there."
