Overview
- The team announced Tuesday that Morton was returned to the AHL’s Calgary Wranglers.
- During his eight-day look, the 26-year-old centered the fourth line and penalty kill, logging three shots, nine hits and a 66.7% faceoff win rate with a minus-1 rating.
- Morton was a healthy scratch for Sunday’s 5–2 win in Vancouver as Ryan Lomberg rejoined the lineup and Beecher moved to center.
- The short recall means Morton did not require waivers for the reassignment and preserves Calgary’s waiver flexibility for future moves.
- The Flames now list 13 forwards on the active roster and resume their road trip Wednesday against the Lightning.
