The Flames have lost four straight, being outscored 16-6, and will turn to Wolf for the third time in the last five games. Wolf played well in his last outing, saving 25 of 27 shots (.926 SV%), despite being on the wrong end of a 4-1 game against the Buffalo Sabres. The Flames enter action on Thursday as +119 road underdogs against the St. Louis Blues.
The Flames have lost four straight, being outscored 16-6, and will likely turn to Wolf for the third time in the last five games. Wolf played well in his last outing, saving 25 of 27 shots (.926 SV%), despite being on the wrong end of a 4-1 game against the Buffalo Sabres. The Flames enter action on Thursday as +119 road underdogs against the St. Louis Blues.
The Flames will turn to Wolf for a third straight game with Jacob Markstrom still sidelined with a lower-body injury. Wolf has been sensational at every level but, before this stint, has had trouble translating that to NHL success in limited action. That said, the 22-year-old Wolf may be finding his form with the Flames, as he has saved 67 of 70 shots (.957 SV%) since Markstrom's injury and has won both of his two starts. The Flames enter action as -130 home favourites against the Washington Capitals.
Wolf was recalled on Tuesday after Jacob Markstrom was ruled out with a lower-body injury but served as the backup to Dan Vladar. Vladar allowed six goals in a 6-2 loss to the Colorado Avalanche before Wolf entered the crease in relief in the third period and saved all three shots he faced. Wolf has been a tremendous prospect for the Flames in the AHL but has yet to see those numbers translate in the NHL, posting a 3.69 GAA and .880 SV% in seven appearances this season (1-3-1).
Wolf saw his first NHL action in over two months on Thursday after being recalled earlier this week to replace Dan Vladar (IR). The Flames goaltending prospect fared poorly, allowing six goals on 31 shots (.806 SV%) in a 6-3 loss to the bottom-dwelling San Jose Sharks. Most of Wolf's heavy lifting this season has been done with the Wranglers, where he has been sensational this season, posting a 2.27 GAA and .927 SV% in 28 games (18-7-2).
Wolf will see his first NHL action in over two months after being recalled earlier this week to replace Dan Vladar (IR). Wolf has played five games with the Flames this season, but most of his heavy lifting has been done with the Wranglers, where he has been sensational this season, posting a 2.27 GAA and .927 SV% in 28 games (18-7-2). The Flames enter action as sizeable -336 home favourites against the bottom-dwelling San Jose Sharks.

With Dan Vladar being placed on IR with a lower-body injury, the Flames have recalled Wolf from the Wranglers (AHL). Wolf has played five games with the Flames this season, but most of his heavy lifting has been done with the Wranglers, where he has been sensational this season, posting a 2.27 GAA and .927 SV% in 28 games (18-7-2).
Wolf did not appear in a game during his call-up, and his return to the AHL suggests that Jacob Markstrom will be available for Tuesday's game. Wolf has gone 16-6-1 with a 2.27 GAA and .929 SV% in 23 AHL games this season.
Jacob Markstrom is day-to-day with a lower-body injury, prompting the Flames to recall Dustin Wolf. Wolf had a brief stint with the Flames earlier this season when Markstrom was injured, posting a 3.46 GAA and .893 SV% in five games (1-2-1).
Calgary is on the second half of a tough 6-5 loss to Colorado Monday and will go with Dustin Wolf after Dan Vladar took the crease the night before. Wolf has had an up-and-down first four games to start 2023-24, with a 1-2-0 record, .900 SV% and 3.04 GAA. The rookie netminder draws the tough task of hosting Vegas Tuesday, who has won three straight and is tenth in the NHL in both goals for per game (3.31) and shots per game (32.2).
Wolf was recalled earlier this week after Jacob Markstrom suffered a fractured finger that will keep him out of the lineup for several weeks. Wolf began as the backup on Tuesday but entered the net in relief of Daniel Vladar early in the second period and went on to save 11 of 13 shots (.846 SV%) in an eventual 5-2 loss to the Minnesota Wild. Albeit unspectacular in his one full game with the Flames earlier this season, allowing four goals on 34 shots (.895 SV%) in a losing effort, the high-pedigree Wolf will have the opportunity to make a name for himself at the NHL level. With the Calgary Wranglers (AHL), Wolf has been excellent, boasting a 2.50 GAA and .920 SV% in 13 games (10-3-0).

Jacob Markstrom is out week-to-week with a fractured finger, resulting in the call-up of Dustin Wolf from the Calgary Wranglers of the AHL. Wolf was unspectacular in his one game with the Flames earlier this season, allowing four goals on 34 shots (.895 SV%) in a losing effort, but will likely get a deeper look with an extended stay with the team. With the Wranglers, Wolf has been excellent, boasting a 2.50 GAA and .920 SV% in 13 games (10-3-0).
