Glendale, AZ (My Sportsbook) - The Northwest Division-leading Calgary Flames continued to deal on Wednesday, acquiring forward Olli Jokinen and a 2009 third-round draft pick from the Phoenix Coyotes in exchange for forwards Matthew Lombardi and Brandon Prust and a conditional first-round draft pick.

The Flames hold an eight-point lead over second-place Vancouver in the division standings, and after improving their blueline by getting defenseman Jordan Leopold from Colorado earlier on Wednesday, landed one of the bigger names on the trade market in Jokinen.

Jokinen has 21 goals and 21 assists in 57 games this year, missing time in late November and early December due to an upper-body injury. However, he was still second on the Coyotes in goals and points prior to the trade.

An All-Star in 2003, Jokinen was drafted third overall in 1997 by the Los Angeles Kings, but spent most of his career with the Panthers after a short stint with the Islanders as well. He was dealt to the Panthers from the Islanders in 2000 along with Roberto Luongo for Mark Parrish and Oleg Kvasha.

The Finnish center has skated in 780 career contests with the Kings, Islanders, Panthers and Coyotes, amassing 229 goals, 274 assists and 503 points. He is in the third season of a four-year deal he signed with Florida in March of 2006.

Jokinen has never skated in an NHL playoff game in his career, but appears certain to get his first taste of postseason hockey now that he is in Calgary.

Coming off an 83-point season last year, the Coyotes acquired Jokinen from Florida in June for Keith Ballard and Nick Boynton in hopes of making the postseason for the first time since 2001-02.

Phoenix stayed in the mix for a postseason spot through most of the year in what has been a tight bottom portion of the Western Conference, however, losses in 12 of its last 15 games has the club 14th in the standings and nine points out of a playoff seed.

In exchange for Jokinen, the Coyotes get younger up front. The 26-year-old Lombardi has nine goals and 21 assists in 50 games this year and has posted 65 tallies and 102 helpers in 347 career games with the Flames.

"We are excited to add two young players in Lombardi and Prust to our lineup," said Coyotes general manager Don Maloney. "Lombardi's speed and scoring touch along with Prust's physical style should fit our team very well."

Prust, 24, has a goal and an assist in 25 games this year after failing to notch a point in 10 games last year, his first in the NHL. He missed 26 games from December 7-February 5 due to a broken jaw.
