I caught up with #Flames GM Craig Conroy to chat a little Zayne Parekh:
"We all would love him to come in and make the team. That's the No. 1 priority moving into the season. We don't want to rush him, but he's going to get an extended look.”

#Flames GM Craig Conroy on potentially moving up in the #NHLDraft:
"Anytime you can make a splash, we want to do it, but the draft day you always want to move up, always want to do something. 'Burkie' texted me today 'don't be afraid to move up... it's not a against the rules...'

I asked Nathan MacKinnon if he had any tips for Macklin Celebrini, one No. 1 to another... #MensWorlds
"No advice for him. He's a pro. He is miles ahead of where I was at 18, mentally... I think with a good first half he's going to have a really good chance at the Olympic team. Really impressed."

#Flames GM Craig Conroy on the value of the foundation laid versus the result of no playoffs and no top-five pick:
"We all want top-five picks, honestly. But to sacrifice a whole team for a top-five pick, that doesn't make any sense."

Lots of notes out of Game 82 for #Flames defenseman Zayne Parekh.
• Parekh is the fifth d-man in franchise history to score in his NHL debut after Patrick Sieloff (April 9, 2016), Mark Cundari (April 21, 2013), Brian Glynn (Oct. 8, 1987) and Neil Sheehy (April 1, 1984).

Nazem Kadri:
"We could've been out of this thing a month ago. It shows the pesky attitude. I felt like if we could've squeaked in, there might've been something there because we've had a lot of momentum and played some great hockey against some great hockey teams. Stuff like that sucks." #Flames

Per the NHL's media notes, the #Flames can become the second team in NHL history to overcome a five-point deficit within their final four games to qualify for the playoffs. The only team to do so is the 1958-59 Maple Leafs.
That's quite a stat.

Updated standings after tonight's action.
The #Flames need to go 2-0-1 coupled with a Blues loss. A 3-0-0 record coupled with a Minnesota loss or a St. Louis overtime or shootout win would also get Calgary in.
