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.

Oilers' Connor McDavid predicted to follow Wayne Gretzky's footsteps in shocking trade idea
Oilers' Connor McDavid predicted to follow Wayne Gretzky's footsteps in shocking trade idea originally appeared on The Sporting News Everyone wants to know what Connor McDavid is going to do. The Edmonton Oilers superstar is entering the final season of his contract. Whether with Edmonton or elsewhere, he's expected to set a new NHL record with the annual value of his impending new deal. But there are a lot of questions. Will McDavid stick with the Oilers? Will he go for an eight-year deal or shorter? Just how much will it cost? One NHL analyst, Dan Powers of the Empty Netters podcast, suggested that the Oilers could actually trade McDavid before he gets to free agency. That'd be valuable for the acquiring team to get McDavid ahead of time and have exclusive negotiating rights with him (along with having him down the stretch of the 2025-26 season. Powers' suggested destination will make Oilers fans cringe: the Los Angeles Kings. MORE: Connor McDavid has $45 million reason to look forward to contract negotiations Yes, the same team that took Wayne Gretzky away from Edmonton. 'I have said so many times — and this is not because we live in LA. — if we saw the King's Ransom Part 2 and he got traded to LA, it would be the greatest thing to happen to the NHL in 50 years. It would be the greatest story of all time,' Powers said. Gretzky spent nine years with the Oilers before moving on to Hollywood. McDavid has already been in Edmonton for 10 seasons. The Great One, of course, had already won four Stanley Cups with the Oilers by the time he left. McDavid is still seeking his first. The Kings haven't been one of the popularly rumored destinations for McDavid (Toronto leads that list). But it'd certainly be quite the historical hockey serendipity if McDavid ended up in Los Angeles, too. MORE: Jaromir Jagr may continue hockey career at age 53

Hamiltonians carry a different sense of grit, determination, pride and energy than the rest of the province and honestly, I couldn't shy away from that. I carry that with me every day and everywhere I go so you guys can only imagine how (much) overwhelming joy there was when I found out I was getting a key to the city I love and a street named after me.' What's next for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Thunder Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will have a legacy in Hamilton, Canada.
