The Calgary Flames ended their NHL regular season on a high note, defeating the Los Angeles Kings 5-1, with Nazem Kadri netting two goals. Sam Morton, Zayne Parekh, and Mikael Backlund also contributed to the scoreline. This victory brought pride to the Flames, who missed the playoffs for the third consecutive year.

The Kings, despite the loss, matched their franchise record with 48 wins and 105 points. Taylor Ward, in his NHL debut, scored the only goal for the Kings in the dying minutes of the game. With their first playoff series against the Edmonton Oilers set for Monday, the Kings enter as one of the hottest teams, having won eight of their last ten games.
