Rasmus Andersson is being recognized for his great play in the NHL. The Calgary defender has been named last week's best player in the North American hockey league.

Rasmus Andersson has undeniably had a good week at work. Calgary won three out of four games – and Andersson played a big part in the success.

The 29-year-old defenseman, who was Tre Kronor's team captain in the home World Cup this spring, was noted for nine points (2+7) in the four games. On Monday, Andersson was named the best player in the NHL of the week, ahead of Columbus defenseman Zach Werenski and San Jose's 19-year-old star center Macklin Celebrini.

So far this season, Andersson has scored 16 points (5+11) in 24 games and is twelfth in the points league for defensemen.
