The Calgary Flames have traded veteran forward Tyler Toffoli to the New Jersey Devils in exchange for forward Yegor Sharangovich and a third-round pick in the 2023 NHL Draft.

Toffoli, a native of Scarborough, Ont., also captained Team Canada to the gold medal at the recent World Hockey Championship in Finland.
Sharangovich, a 25-year-old from Belarus, scored 13 goals and 17 assists over 75 games with the Devils in 2022-23, his third season in New Jersey. He scored 53 goals and 53 assists over 205 career games with the Devils after they selected him in the fifth round of the 2018 NHL Entry Draft.
Sharangovich is a restricted free agent.
