Calgary Flames sit in the Western Conference's second wild card spot with 68 points through 62 games.

Vancouver Canucks traded away defenceman Carson Soucy on Thursday , but that hardly moves the needle.

The St. Louis Blues , the Vancouver Canucks and Utah Hockey Club all made no moves on deadline day.

Flames GM Craig Conroy says the focus remains squarely on the future.

It wasn't time to sacrifice the future for short-term help, but the Flames have been good enough this season that keeping the group together made sense.

“We do believe in this group and we have great veteran leadership and that’s the key,” Conroy said. “Now we need them to have a great 20 games to get us in”.
