The Calgary Flames signed forward Sam Morton to a one-year, two-way contract worth $850,000, the team announced Thursday.
The 26-year-old Morton has played only four NHL games over the last two seasons with Calgary, scoring one goal.
Morton tallied 17 goals and 21 assists in 68 games with the AHL Wranglers last season.
The Flames are currently 14th in the Western Conference, with a 34-39 record, on a W1 streak, as of June 26, 2026.
Morton's signing is a significant move for the Flames, as they look to bolster their lineup for the upcoming season.
The forward's experience in the AHL will be valuable to the team, with his 17 goals and 21 assists last season.
The Flames will look to integrate Morton into their lineup, as they prepare for the new season.
Morton's two-way contract will allow him to play in both the NHL and AHL, providing flexibility for the team.
The Flames' management, including General Manager, will be watching Morton's progress closely, as they look to improve their standing in the Western Conference.
And with Morton's signing, the Flames are looking to build on their current momentum, with a W1 streak, as they head into the new season.
But the team still has work to do, with a 34-39 record, and will look to Morton to contribute to their success.
So the signing of Morton is a positive move for the Flames, as they look to the future, with the 26-year-old forward bringing valuable experience to the team.
