Golden Knights fall to Flames 5-4, confirm playoff matchup with Wild

The Calgary Flames defeated the Vegas Golden Knights 5-4 in a shootout, despite being eliminated from playoff contention earlier in the evening. Morgan Frost scored in regulation and the shootout, contributing to Calgary's comeback that saw them score three goals in the third period after trailing 3-1. Other Flames scorers included Nazem Kadri, Mikael Backlund, and Adam Klapka, with rookie goaltender Dustin Wolf making 38 saves. For Vegas, Brandon Saad, Pavel Dorofeyev, Nicolas Roy, and Tomas Hertl scored, but the team had already clinched the Pacific Division and chose to rest several key players. The Golden Knights secured the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference and will face the Minnesota Wild in the first round of the playoffs. Both teams will wrap up their regular seasons with one final game, with Vegas playing the Canucks and Calgary facing the Kings.
