Don't look now, but the Calgary Flames are turning up the heat coming out of the All Star break. Granted, winning two in a row is hardly ground-breaking territory for many teams, but for Calgary, it represents some confidence boosting as they look to gain some valuable experience moving into next season. 

The usual players continue their strong play. The only difference now is that some players may be showcasing for a trade deadline move, potentially to a contender. Reimo Helminem has been a fantastic fit on the Flames, but rejected recent offers to sign a contract extension. That puts him at the forefront of Calgary players that could be on the move in the coming weeks. Surely a contender could use a nearly point-per-game center, even if it comes with the hefty penalty minute numbers. 

Flame veterans Marty McInnis and Scott Thornton are also both expected to be shopped in the coming weeks, as Calgary positions themselves for the forthcoming expansion draft. 

The next few games could see some excitement build for the Flames, in more ways than one.
