Flames Top Kings 5-1 in Rescheduled Finale

The Calgary Flames defeated the Los Angeles Kings 5-1 in a regular season finale that was rescheduled after an earlier postponement due to wildfires. Flames rookies Sam Morton and Zayne Parekh each scored their first NHL goals in their debuts, a first in franchise history. Nazem Kadri led Calgary with two goals, achieving a career-high 35 in the season, while Mikael Backlund added a goal and an assist. The Kings, resting several key players before their playoff series against the Edmonton Oilers, had their four-game winning streak snapped but finished the season tied for franchise records in wins and points. Kings rookie Taylor Ward scored in his debut, and Los Angeles secured home-ice advantage for the playoffs. The Flames, already out of playoff contention, ended their season on a four-game winning streak.
