In a thrilling encounter, the Calgary Flames overcame a 25-game goalless drought from Morgan Frost to secure a 5-4 victory against the Vegas Golden Knights. Frost made his mark by scoring the decisive goal in the shootout, while Nazem Kadri netted his career-best 33rd goal, alongside contributions from Mikael Backlund and Adam Klapka. Despite their seventh consecutive game with points (5-0-2), Calgary's postseason hopes were dashed earlier when Minnesota Wild and St. Louis Blues triumphed in their respective matches.

Vegas showcased their offensive strength, with Brandon Saad leading the charge with a goal and two assists, supported by Pavel Dorofeyev, Nicolas Roy, and Tomas Hertl. The Golden Knights, clinching the Pacific Division title, will move forward to the playoffs, facing the Minnesota Wild in the opening round. Rookie goaltender Dustin Wolf had an impressive performance, making 38 saves to improve to 29-16-8, while Ilya Samsonov, returning from injury, managed 24 saves but fell to 16-9-4.
