What happened: The deal was completed Sept. 4 after Fuhr spent four seasons with St. Louis. His lone Calgary season became the final stop of his NHL career.

By the numbers: Fuhr went 5-13-2 with an .856 save percentage in 23 games for Calgary. He had posted a 108-87-41 record across 249 games with St. Louis, including 79 appearances in 1995-96.

What to watch: His last NHL appearance came April 8, 2000, in a 6-3 loss to Edmonton at the Saddledome.
