Both teams sit near the bottom of their respective conferences and play an unappealing brand of hockey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But I think there&#8217;s a good reason to back Andersson. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The defenceman is one of the few solid players on Calgary&#8217;s roster and has garnered some trade interest in the early goings of this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Andersson has 20 points in 30 games, cashing this wager in eight of his last 11 outings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>One of those matchups was against the Sabres in Buffalo.
