Andersson was fined the maximum allowable under the collective bargaining agreement between the NHL and the Players' Association.
The money goes to the players' emergency assistance fund.
Andersson was assessed minor penalties for both roughing and elbowing at 14:33 of the first period Saturday in Edmonton.
The Flames lost their season-opener 5-2 to the Oilers.
