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.

Flames' Dustin Wolf: Wins in shootout
Rotowire
Wolf stopped 38 of 42 shots in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout win over the Golden Knights.
While other results didn't go favorably for the Flames, they still found a way to get the win Tuesday. This was Wolf's third victory in a row. The 23-year-old netminder is now at 29-16-8 with a 2.64 GAA and a .910 save percentage through 53 appearances. Now that the Flames are out of playoff contention, it's not clear if Wolf will be given an opportunity to reach the 30-win mark in Thursday's finale in Los Angeles.

Wolf will patrol the home crease versus San Jose on Sunday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
Wolf is coming off a 16-save effort in Friday's 4-2 win over Minnesota. He has a 27-16-8 record with three shutouts, a 2.63 GAA and a .909 save percentage through 51 appearances this season. San Jose ranks 31st in the league with 2.59 goals per game in 2024-25.

Flames' Dustin Wolf: Holds on for win
Rotowire
Wolf stopped 16 of 18 shots in Friday's 4-2 win over the Wild.
Wolf lost a shutout bid late in the third period, but he was able to maintain the lead this time, avoiding a repeat of Wednesday's collapse versus the Ducks. Wolf is 3-1-2 over six games in April, and he's limited opponents to two goals or fewer in four of those contests. The Flames appear to have handed the reins to Wolf in their final push for a playoff spot. The 23-year-old is now 27-16-8 with a 2.63 GAA and a .909 save percentage over 51 starts. The Flames have no back-to-back sets left, and their next matchup is a favorable one at home Sunday versus the Sharks. It'll likely take Wolf getting to the 30-win mark for the Flames to earn a playoff berth.

Flames' Dustin Wolf: Falls apart late Wednesday
Rotowire
Wolf allowed four goals on 23 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Ducks.
The Flames took a 3-1 lead with under five minutes to go in regulation, but it disappeared when Frank Vatrano and Cutter Gauthier scored eight seconds apart. Gauthier double-dipped, besting Wolf a second time at 1:11 of overtime to send the Flames to a loss that greatly reduces their playoff chances. Wolf is now 2-1-2 with 12 goals allowed over his last five games. He's at 26-16-8 with a 2.64 GAA and a .910 save percentage over 50 appearances. Wolf is still likely to get the nod for Friday's must-win home game versus the Wild.

Flames' Dustin Wolf: Hangs on for win Monday
Rotowire
Wolf made 29 saves out of 31 shots on net in Monday's 3-2 win over the Sharks.
Wolf surrendered the only goal of the first period but then nearly kept Calgary's net clean for the remaining 40 minutes. Despite Will Smith's late goal with two minutes remaining in regulation, Wolf and the Flames' offense did enough to secure the victory. With Monday's win, the 23-year-old Wolf has a 26-16-7 record with a 2.62 GAA and a .911 save percentage in 49 outings this season. After going through a tough stretch in the latter half of March, Wolf has two wins, a 1.97 GAA and a .933 save percentage across four starts in April. Wolf's first full campaign has been one of the strongest among rookies this season. He has done enough to be in the conversation for a spot among the Calder Trophy finalists at the end of the season. Wolf has solid value in all fantasy formats for the remainder of the regular season.

Flames' Dustin Wolf: Loses on fluky goal
Rotowire
Wolf stopped 31 of 34 shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Golden Knights.
Wolf played well and kept the Flames in it after they fell behind 2-0. His teammates rewarded him for his efforts by forcing overtime, but Reilly Smith scored the winner on a double-deflection at 4:31 of the extra session. Wolf is now 2-2-2 with 16 goals allowed over his last six contests, and he can't expect to get much support from one of the lowest-scoring teams in the league. He's at 25-16-7 with a 2.63 GAA and a .910 save percentage across 48 starts this season. The Flames have a couple of winnable matchups next week, with road games versus the Sharks on Monday and the Ducks on Wednesday before a pivotal home game Friday versus the Wild. Wolf will probably start at least two of those games if not all three.

Flames' Dustin Wolf: Between pipes versus Ducks
Rotowire
Wolf will tend the twine for Thursday's home game against Anaheim, Eric Francis of Sportsnet reports.
Wolf will make his fifth start in the Flames' last five outings despite being mired in a three-game losing streak. During his slump, the 23-year-old backstop has posted an 0-2-1 record to go with a 2.99 GAA and .878 save percentage. Calgary faces an uphill battle to secure a playoff spot and may not be able to wait for Wolf to pick up his game, which could open the door for Dan Vladar to see more opportunities.

Flames' Dustin Wolf: Starting in Utah
Rotowire
Wolf will protect the road goal versus Utah on Tuesday, Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
Wolf gets the nod in the second half of a back-to-back after Dan Vladar won 3-2 in the shootout Monday versus the Avalanche. The 23-year-old Wolf went 4-3-3 with a 2.95 GAA and an .895 save percentage over 10 games in March. Both Utah and Calgary face uphill battles for a playoff spot, but if Wolf can come away with a win, that will just about end any realistic chance of Utah playing in the postseason.

Flames' Dustin Wolf: Slips late in overtime loss
Rotowire
Wolf stopped 26 of 29 shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Oilers.
Wolf couldn't make a pair of one-goal leads stick. It came down to the wire, as Wolf turned aside Leon Draisaitl's first six shots of the game but couldn't stop the seventh or eighth, allowing the Oilers to complete the comeback win. This was Wolf's fifth loss in his last seven games (2-3-2), and he's allowed at least three goals in each outing in that span. For the season, he's 24-15-6 with a 2.67 GAA and a .909 save percentage over 45 appearances. The Flames have a back-to-back up next with road games in Colorado on Monday and in Utah on Tuesday, so Wolf and Dan Vladar are likely to split that pair of starts.

Wolf has conceded three or more goals in each of his last six outings, posting a 2-3-1 record and .869 save percentage along the way. Since Wolf is struggling, the Flames may have to turn to Dan Vladar if they want to chase down the Blues for the No. 2 wild-card spot.

Flames' Dustin Wolf: Prevails in overtime
Rotowire
Wolf stopped 26 of 29 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Kraken.
Wolf came up with a big stop in the extra session, and Matthew Coronato controlled the puck, setting up Nazem Kadri for the game-winning goal on a breakaway. This was the Flames' fourth comeback win in a row, and Wolf has been between the pipes for two of them. The 23-year-old netminder is up to 24-14-5 with a 2.64 GAA and a .911 save percentage over 43 starts this season. The Flames' next game is a tough one at home Thursday versus the Stars, which leads off a sequence of three matchups that could make or break Calgary's playoff chances.

Flames' Dustin Wolf: Hangs on for win Thursday
Rotowire
Wolf turned aside 26 shots in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Devils.
New Jersey took a 3-1 lead into the third period, but Wolf was able to reap the rewards when his offense caught fire late. The 23-year-old netminder snapped a brief 0-2-1 skid with the win, but he may be fading as he wraps up his first full NHL campaign -- he's allowed at least three goals in five of his last six outings while posting a 2.97 GAA and an .899 save percentage.
