The Flames made a minor move today, sending eighth defenceman Dalton Prout to the AHL on a conditioning assignment.

Prout hasn’t played a game since the home opener against Vancouver, so he could use some game action. Given that the Flames are running an eight defencemen setup, he’s frequently found himself in the press box, as there’s no real need for his services.
