Flames' Sam Morton: Big effort in win
Rotowire
Morton scored a goal on four shots and added two assists in AHL Calgary's 6-1 win over Bakersfield on Sunday.
Morton is up to 10 points in 10 games for the Wranglers this year. He's earned nine of those points over his last five outings after a slow start to the season. The 26-year-old could be a candidate for NHL minutes if the Flames decide to mix up their bottom six at some point in the campaign.

Flames' Sam Morton: Racks up three points for Wranglers
Rotowire
Morton scored twice on three shots and added an assist in AHL Calgary's 4-3 win over Coachella Valley on Saturday.
Morton needed a big game, as he had just one assist in the Wranglers' first five contests of the year. With four points in six games, he's unlikely to be near the top of the list of call-ups for the Flames. The 26-year-old is more likely to spend most or all of 2025-26 in the minors, though he made his NHL debut -- and scored his first goal -- with the Flames at the end of last season.

Flames' Sam Morton: First career goal is game-winner
Rotowire
Morton scored a goal and added four hits in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Kings.
Morton made his NHL debut Thursday, and he scored at 6:05 of the third period to put the Flames ahead 2-0. That goal ultimately stood as the game-winner. This was a positive audition for Morton, who is a restricted free agent this summer. He's posted 45 points over 69 games with AHL Calgary. The undrafted forward could compete for a bottom-six job in training camp in the fall. He'll likely head back to the Wranglers for their playoff run to close out 2024-25.
