- Why former almost-Bruins defenseman won’t play against Boston on Tuesday
BOSTON — A week after the Bruins ’ possible trade for Rasmus Andersson didn’t reach the finish line, Boston didn’t have to face him.
Multiple reports said the Bruins and Calgary Flames were close enough to a trade for the versatile defenseman that Boston and Andersson’s representatives were allowed to discuss a contract extension.

But when those talks didn’t produce an agreement, Boston pulled out and Calgary dealt Andersson to Las Vegas with no extension.
The Golden Knights are in Boston for a Thursday matchup, but Andersson won’t be in the lineup.
According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Andersson needs a visa to be able to live and work in the United States which can take several days.
