CALGARY — The Calgary Flames have picked up forward Tyler Pitlick from the newly formed Seattle Kraken.

The Flames sent a fourth-round pick in Friday’s NHL entry draft to the Kraken in exchange. 

Seattle selected Pitlick, 29, from the Arizonea Coyotes in Wednesday’s expansion draft. 

The six-foot-two, 200-pound centre had 11 points (six goals, five assists) for the Coyotes last season. 

Pitlick was originally selected by the OIiers in the second round of the 2010 entry draft (31st overall) and has split 286 NHL games between Edmonton, Dallas, Philadelphia and Arizona, notching a career 84 points (47 goals, 37 assists).
