Wolf stopped 28 of 30 shots in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.
Wolf got back in the win column after a two-game stint on the bench. The 24-year-old allowed a goal 1:05 into the game to Filip Hronek, but the Flames scored the next five before Quinn Hughes' power-play tally in the third. With the win, Wolf improved to 6-11-2 with a 3.02 GAA and an .895 save percentage over 19 starts. Devin Cooley impressed in a pair of wins this week, so Wolf's start share should decrease, and the lightened load may help him put together more consistent performances moving forward. The Flames' road trip continues Wednesday against the Lightning.

Flames' Dustin Wolf: Set to start in Vancouver
Rotowire
Wolf will patrol the road blue paint Sunday against the Canucks, per Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
Wolf has lost back-to-back decisions, conceding a total of seven goals on 45 shots (.844 save percentage) in losses to Chicago and Winnipeg. The California native owns a 1-1-1 record, .889 save percentage and 2.93 GAA across three career appearances against the Canucks. This Pacific Division matchup could be a challenging one for the Flames, as they won 3-2 in a shootout Saturday against the Stars, while the Canucks haven't played since Thursday. Wolf surrendered five goals on 26 shots during a loss in Vancouver on Oct. 9.

Flames' Dustin Wolf: Disappointing performance
Rotowire
Wolf stopped 18 of 22 shots in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Blackhawks. The fifth goal was an empty-netter with 41 seconds left in the game.
Wolf posted a shutout in a 2-0 win over the Sharks on Nov. 13, but things have gone downhill from there -- he has given up seven goals on 45 shots faced over his last two starts. Wolf is firmly entrenched as the Flames' No. 1 netminder, but the team's offensive struggles limit his upside because he often has to do too much to get positive results. Wolf has gone 3-4-1 with a 2.60 GAA across eight appearances in November while posting a save percentage below .900 four times in that stretch.

Flames' Dustin Wolf: Handed shootout loss
Rotowire
Wolf allowed three goals on 23 shots in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Jets.
Wolf kept things close, but this was not a great follow-up to his 17-save shutout versus the Sharks on Thursday. The 24-year-old netminder has evened out a bit with a 3-3-1 record and 15 goals allowed over his last seven games, but wins will continue to be hard to find behind a low-scoring team. Wolf is at 5-10-2 on the year with a 3.01 GAA and an .896 save percentage over 17 starts. The Flames have a road back-to-back up next, with a visit to Chicago on Tuesday followed by Buffalo on Wednesday. Expect Wolf and Devin Cooley to split those starts.

Wolf will guard the home crease versus Winnipeg on Saturday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
Wolf is coming off a 16-save shutout against San Jose on Thursday. He is 5-10-1 with a 3.03 GAA and an .897 save percentage over 16 starts this season. The Jets are scoring 3.24 goals per game, 11th in the NHL.

Flames' Dustin Wolf: Posts first shutout of season
Rotowire
Wolf recorded a 16-save shutout in Thursday's 2-0 win over the Sharks.
Wolf was hardly tested in this contest, and he was more than capable of putting an end to the Sharks' recent run of success. The California native always seems to have his best performances against the Sharks -- this was his first shutout against his hometown team, but he's 8-1-0 with a 1.88 GAA and a .923 save percentage in nine career matchups against them. For 2025-26, Wolf improved to 5-10-1 with a 3.03 GAA and an .897 save percentage over 16 starts. While this was a positive performance, the Flames still need to play a lot better in front of Wolf to give him a chance at wins. They're back in action for a tough home game Saturday versus the Jets.

Flames' Dustin Wolf: Facing Sharks
Rotowire
Wolf will be between the home pipes against San Jose on Thursday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
Wolf is having the proverbial sophomore slump, as he is 4-10-1 with a 3.25 GAA and an .893 save percentage across 15 starts this season. The Sharks have won four games in a row and are currently in fifth place in the Pacific Division, one point behind second place Los Angeles.

Flames' Dustin Wolf: Gets back in win column
Rotowire
Wolf stopped 17 of 18 shots in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Flyers.
Wolf lost his shutout bid with 5:40 left in the third period, but it was still a fine bounce-back performance after he was pulled from Saturday's game versus the Predators. The 24-year-old netminder has won two of his last four games, allowing nine goals on 97 shots in that span, which suggests he's turning a corner after an ugly October. Still, the Flames aren't providing much support, which will make wins tough to come by. Wolf has a 3-8-1 record with a 3.39 GAA and an .884 save percentage across 12 starts. The 24-year-old will likely get the nod again Wednesday at home versus the Blue Jackets.

Flames' Dustin Wolf: Chance for rebound Sunday
Rotowire
Wolf will get the start for Sunday's game against the Flyers, Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
It was an ugly start for Wolf his last time out; he allowed three goals in the first period on 11 shots before getting the hook in a 4-2 loss to the Devils. That outing was emblematic of the season that the Flames' young netminder has had. The 24-year-old has a 2-8-1 record, a 3.62 GAA and an .881 save percentage. He'll look to rebound against a Flyers team ranked 24th in the league with 2.77 goals per game.

Flames' Dustin Wolf: Yanked after one frame
Rotowire
Wolf allowed three goals on 11 shots in the first period of Saturday's 4-2 loss to Nashville before being replaced by Devin Cooley.
Wolf is an abysmal 2-8-1 with an ugly 3.63 GAA and an .881 save percentage. He delivered a 29-16-8 record with a 2.64 GAA and a .910 save percentage in the 2024-25 regular season. Calgary hasn't carried any momentum from contending for a playoff spot last year. Wolf has bounce-back appeal if the team can right the ship, but he's a hard goalie to trust right now in fantasy.

Flames' Dustin Wolf: Great saves in loss
Rotowire
Wolf made 33 saves in a 4-3 loss to Toronto on Tuesday.
The phrase high-and-dry comes to mind for Wolf, who made several 10-bell saves when his mates were out of position. This young man is exceptional post-to-post, and he's saving a lot of sure goals. However, Wolf also has the NHL's third-worst GSAx (-5.2). He's talented, but you need stability, not promise. Bench him.

Flames' Dustin Wolf: Another hard-luck defeat
Rotowire
Wolf stopped 26 of 28 shots in Wednesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Canadiens.
For the second game in a row, Wolf did his best to limit the damage but didn't get enough scoring support from his teammates. He's now 1-5-1 on the year, but his individual performance has improved after a bumpy stretch early in the season. Wolf should continue seeing plenty of starts for the Flames, as he gives them their best chance to win. However, fantasy managers chasing wins will have a tough time getting them from the 24-year-old as long as Calgary's offense remains putrid. The Flames' next game is a challenging one on the road in Winnipeg on Friday.

Wolf will start Wednesday's home game against the Canadiens, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
Wolf has lost each of his last five starts, posting a 4.17 GAA and an .853 save percentage during that time. He'll attempt to bounce back in Wednesday's outing but will face a tough test, as the Canadiens rank fifth in the NHL with 3.57 goals per game this season.

Flames' Dustin Wolf: Defending cage Monday
Rotowire
Wolf will patrol the crease at home versus the Jets on Monday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
Wolf has underwhelmed to start the season, going 1-4-0 with a 4.30 GAA and .854 save percentage in five appearances, including Saturday's game against the Golden Knights in which he was pulled after two periods. For now, it seems the team will allow the young netminder to play his way out of this funk but at some point the Flames may have to give Devin Cooley more starts.

Flames' Dustin Wolf: Expected to face Vegas
Rotowire
Wolf is slated to start on the road against Vegas on Saturday, per Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
Wolf has struggled to start the 2025-26 campaign, posting a record of 1-3-0 while allowing at least three goals in each of those four outings. That's in stark contrast to his 29-16-8 record, 2.64 GAA and .910 save percentage across 53 appearances during the 2024-25 regular season. However, it's still very early into the campaign, so it'd be premature to pass judgment on Wolf. The Golden Knights rank fourth in goals per game with 4.00 and own a mark of 3-0-2 this year, which will make it challenging for Wolf to begin his comeback Saturday.

Flames' Dustin Wolf: Tagged with loss Tuesday
Rotowire
Wolf stopped 26 of 29 shots in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights. The fourth goal was an empty-netter with seven seconds left in the game.
Wolf has endured a tough start to the season, giving up at least three goals in each of his four appearances while being tagged with the loss in the last three. Through four starts, the 24-year-old netminder has a subpar .873 save percentage and a 3.77 GAA. Devin Cooley will get his first start of the year in the second half of Calgary's back-to-back in Utah on Wednesday. Wolf's next chance to be between the pipes could come Saturday on the road against the Golden Knights.

Flames' Dustin Wolf: Sharp in loss
Rotowire
Wolf made 24 saves in a 4-2 loss to the Blues on Saturday.
One snipe came on the power play; the rest were at even strength. Wolf has allowed 12 goals in three starts this season (1-2-0). Nine of those goals have come in the last two games. The score wasn't flattering, but Wolf made some great saves, including an incredible scramble stop with the game tied at 2-2.

Flames' Dustin Wolf: Starting again Thursday
Rotowire
Wolf will guard the road goal versus the Canucks on Thursday, Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com reports.
Despite facing 35 shots Wednesday versus the Oilers and playing both games on the road, Wolf will work both halves of a back-to-back set. It's unclear if this is a vote of confidence in Wolf or an indication the Flames don't fully trust Devin Cooley in the backup role. In any case, Wolf will look to keep his strong start to the season going after earning a shootout win Wednesday in Edmonton.

Flames' Dustin Wolf: Backstops comeback win
Rotowire
Wolf stopped 32 of 35 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Oilers.
The Oilers started well and took a 3-0 lead before the halfway mark of regulation. Two of those goals were on the power play, but Wolf was able to stay calm and provide steadiness between the pipes as the Flames put together a comeback win. He also stopped seven of eight shootout attempts to complete the effort. Wolf is locked in as Calgary's No. 1 goalie after producing an impressive 29-16-8 record, 2.64 GAA and .910 save percentage over 53 games in 2024-25. He'll likely get a breather Thursday as the Flames visit the Canucks, with Devin Cooley likely to start that contest before Wolf gets back between the pipes for the home opener Saturday against the Blues.

Flames' Dustin Wolf: Starting against Edmonton
Rotowire
Wolf will start Wednesday's Opening Night matchup on the road against Edmonton, Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
Wolf earned a starting role during the 2024-25 campaign and went 29-16-8 with a 2.64 GAA and a .910 save percentage over 53 regular-season appearances. He enters 2025-26 as the Flames' No. 1 netminder, and he'll draw the start in the first half of a back-to-back set to open the campaign. The Flames visit Vancouver on Thursday, and backup Devin Cooley might get the nod in that contest.
