During his third season with the Flames, he scored 30-goals and 72-points and then added 15 more points in 18 playoff games as he advanced to the Stanley Cup Finals where his Flames were defeated by the Montreal Canadiens. The next season, on November 12, 1986, Quinn was traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins for Mike Bullard.
