Calgary Flames defenseman Rasmus Anderson won't be playing Sunday against the Red Wings. He's under NHL suspension.

The last time the Calgary Flames were in Detroit to play the Red Wings, Flames defenseman Rasmus Andersson missed the game after suffering injuries in a scooter accident.

He’ll be missing in action again on Sunday when the Flames are at Little Caesars Arena. This time, though, it’s the NHL that is putting Andersson on the shelf.

He’ll be sitting out the first of a four-game suspension. The league was issuing Andersson the enforced sit-down for charging and elbowing Patrik Laine of the Columbus Blue Jackets with five seconds to play in the game between the two teams on Friday.
