Flames' Morton, Parekh Score First NHL Goals in 5-1 Victory

Sam Morton and Zayne Parekh each scored in their NHL debuts as the Calgary Flames defeated the Los Angeles Kings 5-1 in the regular-season finale. Nazem Kadri contributed two goals for the Flames, who broke open the game with four goals in just over five minutes during the third period. The Kings, with some regulars resting ahead of the playoffs, saw their four-game winning streak snapped and finished the season matching franchise records for wins and points but failing to set new ones. Taylor Ward also scored in his NHL debut for the Kings. Calgary's win highlighted promising performances from young players like Parekh, a recent top draft pick expected to be central to the team's rebuild, and Morton, an undrafted forward who could compete for a roster spot next season. The Kings are set to face the Edmonton Oilers in the first round of the playoffs, this time with home-ice advantage.
