Rasmus Andersson made a Seattle Kraken fan blink first.

The Calgary Flames defenseman stared down a Kraken fan after he scored a goal against Seattle at Scotiabank Saddledome on Tuesday.

With the game tied 2-2 in the third period, Andersson ripped a slap shot past Kraken goalie Joey Daccord to give the Flames the lead.

Andersson immediately spotted the lone Kraken fan in the front row and performed his signature stare down celebration.

The Flames, with the help of their mascot Harvey the Hound, then gifted the Kraken fan a custom T-shirt.

“Rasmus Andersson stared at me,” was written on the T-shirt with a picture of the defenseman’s stare.

The Kraken fan proudly held up his new swag for a picture with the mascot.

Next time, the Kraken fan might want to consider seats in the nosebleeds.
