There was some debate on whether Andersson warranted a suspension for his headbutt, but it's clear that the NHL has decided against it. Thus, fans should expect to see Andersson in Calgary's Monday night tilt against the Anaheim Ducks.

Recently, Dylan Larkin was suspended one game for punching Mathieu Joseph in retaliation to a questionable hit. Was Larkin more deserving of a suspension for that than Andersson for his headbutt? Let us know in the comments!
