Dustin Wolf - NHL News & Rumors

Rough showing versus Kraken Wolf allowed six goals on 27 shots in Sunday's 6-1 loss to the Kraken.

Impact The Flames' defense had a couple of breakdowns in the first period, and Wolf gave up three goals early. That was far too much to come back from. Wolf has given up 12 goals on 59 shots over two games against Seattle to begin his season, though the Flames will need to score more than one goal a game to give their goalies a chance. The Flames will have some time to recoup before hosting the Avalanche on Thursday in what is one of the most lopsided matchups on the slate early in the year.

Drawing start in Seattle Wolf will occupy the road crease Sunday against the Kraken, Eric Francis of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Wolf get the start in the second half of a back-to-back after Devin Cooley was in net for Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Canucks. The Kraken are also on the second half of a back-to-back -- Seattle was defeated by the Oilers on Saturday. Wolf allowed six goals on 32 shots to the Kraken in the Flames' season opener on Thursday, so the 25-year-old netminder should have plenty of motivation to put in a bounce-back performance Sunday.

Surrenders six goals Thursday Wolf stopped 26 of 32 shots in Thursday's 6-1 loss to the Kraken.

Impact Wolf endured a difficult season debut as Seattle scored three times on just six first-period shots. He settled down to stop all 12 shots he faced in the second, including an excellent recovery save that denied Jordan Eberle, but the Kraken broke through three more times in the third. Wolf ultimately surrendered six goals for just the third time in his NHL career and finished with an .813 save percentage in this woeful season opener.

Expected starter for Thursday Wolf is set to start at home against Seattle on Thursday, per Pat Steinberg of QR Calgary 770 AM.

Impact Wolf had a 23-29-3 record, 3.01 GAA and .899 save percentage in 57 regular-season appearances with the Flames in 2025-26. He's set to once again be Calgary's No. 1 netminder this campaign. Devin Cooley will serve as the backup and is likely to get his first start of the campaign either Saturday in Vancouver or Sunday in Seattle.

Allows four goals Saturday Wolf stopped 25 of 29 shots in Saturday's 4-1 preseason loss to the Oilers.

Impact Wolf faced plenty of pressure early, stopping the first seven shots he saw before Zach Hyman beat him on Edmonton's first power play. Connor McDavid and Ryan Shea added second-period goals before Kasperi Kapanen converted a third-period breakaway to complete the scoring. Wolf made several strong saves throughout the game, including an early glove stop on Leon Draisaitl, but at the end of the day, Calgary struggled to contain an Edmonton lineup featuring most of its top offensive players. Wolf is slated to open the season as the Flames' No. 1 goaltender, so he should be between the pipes for the regular-season opener against Seattle on Thursday.

Tending twine Saturday Wolf will patrol the road crease in Saturday's preseason contest against the Oilers, per Derek Wills of QR Calgary 770 AM.

Impact Wolf will start Calgary's preseason finale before the Flames open their regular season schedule on Thursday. The 25-year-old netminder stopped eight of nine shots in his lone preseason outing of 2026-27, where he played the full game and helped the Flames pick up a 3-1 win over Vancouver. Wolf is looking to bounce back in 2026-27 after regressing slightly in the win column across 57 regular-season outings a season ago.

SEPTEMBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Handles light workload in preseason win Wolf stopped eight of nine shots in a 3-1 preseason win over Vancouver on Tuesday.

Impact That's not a typo, and Wolf did play the full game. Vancouver really did manage just nine shots on goal. In defense of the Canucks, they dressed a primarily AHL squad for this exhibition tilt, but that also means it's hard to read much into Wolf's performance. The 25-year-old goaltender had a 23-29-3 record, 3.01 GAA and .899 save percentage in 57 regular-season appearances with the Flames in 2025-26.

SEPTEMBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

Tending twine Tuesday Wolf will patrol the home crease in Tuesday's preseason contest against the Canucks, per Pat Steinberg of QR Calgary 770 AM.

Impact Wolf will make his preseason debut Tuesday after Devin Cooley was the lone netminder to play Calgary's opener. The 25-year-old Wolf battled in the 2025-26 campaign, where he compiled a 23-29-3 record, a 3.01 GAA and an .899 save percentage across 57 regular-season games. He kept the Flames in countless games last season, and if the roster as a whole can take a ste up in 2026-27, the young netminder could see better numbers in the upcoming campaign.

Stops 35 shots Tuesday Wolf stopped 35 of 37 shots in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Avalanche. The third goal was an empty-netter with 17 seconds left in the game.

Impact Wolf couldn't record back-to-back wins for the first time since a three-game stretch between March 20 and March 28, though that was unlikely on paper given the matchup against the Avalanche, who have the best offense in the league. The Flames have one more game on their schedule, against the Kings on Thursday, though it's uncertain if Wolf will get the starting nod.

Facing Avalanche Wolf will patrol the home crease against Colorado on Tuesday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

Impact Wolf is coming off a 28-save performance in Sunday's 4-1 win over Utah. He has a 23-28-3 record this campaign with two shutouts, a 3.03 GAA and an .897 save percentage through 56 appearances. Colorado ranks first in the league with 3.66 goals per game this season.

Strong showing in win Wolf stopped 28 of 29 shots in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Mammoth.

Impact Wolf snapped a three-game slide with this performance, which was his sharpest in a while. The 24-year-old hasn't finished strong, allowing at least four goals in seven of his last 13 appearances, but he has a 6-6-0 record in that span. For the season, Wolf is up to 23-28-3 with a 3.03 GAA and an .897 save percentage across 56 appearances. The Flames' netminder is a risky fantasy option should he start Tuesday versus the Avalanche.

Tending twine against Utah Wolf will start Sunday's home game against the Mammoth, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

Impact Wolf has struggled in recent outings, going 0-3-0 with a 5.71 GAA and .867 save percentage over his last three starts. However, he was successful in a home start against Utah on Dec. 6, turning aside all 28 shots he faced in a 2-0 victory.

APRIL 13 • ROTOWIRE

Better showing in loss Wolf stopped 38 of 40 shots in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Avalanche. The third goal was an empty-netter.

Impact The Flames' current road trip started in Colorado, and Wolf was blitzed for four goals on 16 shots in just over half a period in that contest. He put forth a better showing despite another loss in this contest, which was his third straight defeat. He's allowed 12 goals on 90 shots in that span. Wolf is down to 22-28-3 with a 3.07 GAA and an .896 save percentage over 55 appearances. The Flames have four games left this season, including a back-to-back with a road game in Seattle on Saturday followed by Sunday's home contest versus the Mammoth. Look for Wolf and Devin Cooley to split the next two starts.

Tending twine against Avs Wolf will defend the cage on the road versus Colorado on Thursday, Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

Impact Wolf has allowed four or more goals in seven of his last 11 outings, posting a 3.89 GAA and 5-5-0 record along the way. With the Flames out of playoff contention, the team could split the workload down the stretch between Wolf and Devin Cooley. Both backstops are under contract next season, and while it should be Wolf's crease to lose, especially given his new $7.5 million AAV salary that kicks in next year, it could be an open competition during training camp.

APRIL 9 • ROTOWIRE

Fades late in loss Wolf stopped 28 of 34 shots in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact The game was tied at 3-3 through two periods, but Wolf let in three goals over the final eight minutes to take the loss. The 24-year-old has allowed 10 goals on 50 shots over his last two outings as the Flames deal with a brutal road trip late in the season. Wolf is down to 22-27-3 with a 3.09 GAA and an .895 save percentage over a career-high 54 appearances this season. He'll be a goalie to avoid even if he gets the nod Saturday in Anaheim.
