The Flames acquired Nikita Okhotyuk from the Sharks for a conditional 2024 fifth-round pick.

Okhotyuk will help fill out a Flames' defensive core that is less robust than it was a few weeks ago after dealing away Chris Tanev and Noah Hanifin in trades before the deadline. The 23-year-old Okhotyuk registered eight points (1G / 7A), 126 hits, and 72 blocks while averaging 16:27 time-on-ice through 43 games with the San Jose Sharks.

The 22-year-old Okhotyuk has four points (0G / 4A), 14 penalty minutes, 24 blocks, and 17 hits in 11 games this season.
