Rangers acquire Jokinen from Flames

Hockey Betting Lines

02/02/2010 - Calgary, AB (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Calgary Flames made their second big trade in less than two days, moving forwards Ollie Jokinen and Brandon Prust to the New York Rangers in exchange for forwards Ales Kotalik and Christopher Higgins.

This trade brings a much-needed scoring threat to New York in Jokinen, who has 11 goals and 24 assists in 56 games this season. Calgary acquired the 31-year- old center at last season's trade deadline from Phoenix.

Originally drafted by the Los Angeles Kings with the third overall pick in the 1997 NHL Entry Draft, Jokinen has topped the 30-goal mark four times in his career, most recently in 2007-08 with Florida when he recorded 34, including 18 power-play goals which ranked third in the NHL.

In 855 career NHL games, Jokinen has recorded 248 goals and 305 assists. He will represent Finland at the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver.

Prust has just one goal and four assists this year for Calgary, while Kotalik and Higgins have logged eight and six goals, respectively, for the Rangers in the 2009-10 campaign.

The Flames, who sit in third place in the Northwest Division, also made a seven-player trade with the Toronto Maple Leafs on Sunday. Defenseman Dion Phaneuf was at the center of that deal as he went to Toronto.
