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.
