The 19-year-old forward put up passes and created scoring chances, but none could be finished into the back of the net.
He tried to get something going during his shift in Medicine Hat's first and most promising-looking power play, but that too faltered.
The Calgary native will end his Memorial Cup campaign with one assist.
Two days ago, the Knights knocked out fellow Flames prospect Etienne Morin and the QMJHL champions Moncton Wildcats.
It was reported from Logan Gordon that Flames assistant GM Brad Pascall plans on having Morin on the Flames' AHL affiliate team, the Wranglers next season. Similar plans are being discussed for Basha.

Whether it's meat or veg, here are some tips for your backyard smoker: Jasmine Mangalaseril
"Low and slow" is the mantra for many backyard cooks. If you've added a smoker to your outdoor cooking kit, Dan Dean and Denis Hernandez, chef-owners of Breslau's D&D Smoked Eats, have some tips that will make your smoked foods smokin' hot (even if you're cold-smoking). Large cuts, like briskets, can cook for eight to 12 hours. You can keep them from drying out by adding a water dish inside the smoker, or once a good bark or crust has formed, you can use a mop sauce. Mop sauces can be made with broth or stock, spiced apple cider vinegar, or tallow. "We like to use apple cider vinegar to basically keep the outside temperature lower so you're not overcooking the outside, while the inside's not quite there yet," explained Dean. "You're adding more flavour, but you're also moistening at the same time." Dean suggested brining chicken to help keep it succulent. A generous hand with your seasoning mix solves many under-flavouring issues. Using coarsely ground spices like coriander, cumin or fennel, lets more smoke stick to the food during long, smoky cooks. "When we do our big meats, we season really, really heavy because things will fall off as it's sitting there for eight hours," said Hernandez. "And then, once you tear it all apart, you fold it in and the seasoning mixes with everything." Also, to avoid bitter, acrid flavours from burnt black pepper, add it after cooking. Smoking flavours Just as important with what's going on top of the rack – meat, seafood, fruit or veggie – the quality of what's burning and smouldering under the rack or in the side chamber also counts. "A lot of people use alder for chicken and fish because it's a much milder smoke," said Dean. "They don't want to overpower the fish, but they want to have a little bit of smoke to it." White oak is popular because it burns slowly. Other flavourful woods like cherry or hickory for red meat, apple for pork or chicken, and maple for vegetables can be added. Compound butters (flavoured butters) are a long-held favourite to add flavour to what's coming out of your indoor kitchen. They're equally good on what you cook outdoors. "I'm content with one that just has lemon zest, shallot and chives, or just doing a nice herb compound," said Hernandez. "It's especially good for resting … put your steak down and just throw it on and just let it melt on top nice and slow." You can also think about bringing global flavours to your cookout. Tandoori, Greek, and jerk premixed seasonings can be found in most grocery stores. For a West African feast, suya (aka chinchinga and yaji) mixes can be found online or in some African shops. Hernandez suggested chimichurri (parsley, garlic, olive oil, red wine vinegar, oregano and seasonings), for meats or veg. "You can grill chimichurri, you can smoke chimichurri, you can make a compound butter out of chimichurri, you can do anything." Throw it on the barbie Grilling (hot and fast cooking over a fire), barbecuing (slow cooking over a low flame) and smoking (low and slow cooking using smoke), all fall within the technique of barbecue. Each creates great flavours, but you can also combine them. "We're fortunate there's a section (to our smokers) where we can grill if we need to. We decided to grill our jerk chicken more [in addition to smoking] because it will add a different flavour," said Hernandez. Seafood can be unforgiving. For delicious results, if you're making lobster, Hernandez recommends par-cooking it in the shell. Then separate the meat from the shell, before finishing the meat in the smoker. Root vegetables are fantastic on the grill and in smokers. Hernandez suggested after grilling or smoking rutabaga, pair it with a miso sauce to complement its flavours. If you're thinking about smoking bitter vegetables, remember that they can take on different dimensions. "I don't think greens are smoked or grilled enough. If you have radicchio, when you char or smoke it, that other bitterness that comes into it, kind of milds the [original] bitterness," said Hernandez. "I love this country at this time of year just because there's so much to grill," continued Hernandez. "Just get a fruit you like, or a vegetable, and just grill it. If you don't like it, then you know not to do it again. It's just trial and error."

Canadian high diver Simone Leathead wins silver medal at aquatics worlds
Canada's Simone Leathead captured the first world championship medal of her career on Saturday in Singapore, winning silver in the women's 20 metre high dive. The Montreal native moved from fourth place into second on her final dive, an inward three somersaults ½ twist pike, which scored 90 points. WATCH | Leathead captures silver medal in Singapore: "Today took a little turn because of the weather, but I'm super happy with what I did. Being able to do six dives to the best of my ability, I'm just super proud," Leathead said after the event. "I'm coming from a diving background and the world championships were always on my 'big dreams list', so to be able to compete and do great and be able to be on the podium is just a very big accomplishment for me." The 22-year-old finished behind Australian veteran Rhiannan Iffland, who lead the standings from start to finish and won gold to secure her fifth world championship title. "I have already achieved four [world titles] in the past, and I was wondering about the possibility of winning a fifth. I came into this event knowing I could be fighting for it, but it wasn't my main goal," the 33-year-old Iffland said. "It's insane, I'm blown away, I'm kinda speechless right now. I never would have thought 10 years ago I would be holding my fifth medal." Rounding out the podium was American teen Maya Kelly, who made history with her bronze-medal performance. The 18-year-old athlete became the youngest-ever medallist in high diving at the world championships.

Oilers Don't Need Another New Forward Right Now
EDMONTON – Sometimes, you can have too many cooks in the kitchen. The Edmonton Oilers are just like every other team in the NHL – they need the correct number of superstars, elite players, and complementary pieces. Bookmark The Hockey News Edmonton Oilers team site to never miss the latest news, game-day coverage, and more. Some of what's being spoken around the watercooler right now revolves around the Oilers picking up another player. While some pundits are pointing towards a goaltender acquisition, others raise the issue of a top-six forward. David Pagnotta first reported this. Then, long-time Oilers scribe Jim Matheson mentioned a player like Bryan Rust would be of potential interest to the Copper and Blue. Oilers Potential New Lines For Next Year EDMONTON – A new day, a new season. Oilers' Kris Knoblauch On Biggest Area To Get Better Oilers Spunky Defender Has Earned New Deal Oilers Full 2025-26 Regular Season Schedule Oilers Who Will Benefit Most From New Coach Oilers Complete 2025 Offseason Guide: Trades, Signings, & More EDMONTON – The offseason is in full swing. The Oilers don't need Rust. In fact, they don't need another forward right now. They already have several new faces who will need to outplay the current Oilers to make the team. Andrew Mangiapane, Ike Howard, and Curtis Lazar will come in and replace some of what was lost, as Corey Perry, Connor Brown, and Evander Kane find new teams to play for. Mathew Savoie and David Tomasek will undoubtedly find their way onto the Oilers roster in one fashion or another. Rust could be a great addition to the Oilers. He's won a Stanley Cup and had the best offensive season of his career this past season. However, his $5.125 cap hit is the biggest hindrance to reaching a deal. And with the Oilers already wanting to shed some salary, and potentially moving out a forward as a way to do it, the addition of Rust seems more like a pipe dream than anything of substance.
