Calgary Flames goaltender Dustin Wolf will be the team's starter between the sticks on Saturday versus the reigning Stanley Cup champions in the Florida Panthers. He will log his 15th start of the campaign with Dan Vladar (lower body) absent from the lineup. Devin Cooley will dress as Wolf's backup. Wolf has had a good rookie season, but he's gone cold in recent weeks, dropping three consecutive starts while allowing 14 goals. He has an 8-5-1 record for the year with a 2.84 goals-against average, a .909 save percentage, and one shutout. To return to winning ways, Wolf must stop the league's fifth-ranked offense. Florida averages 3.53 goals per game.
Dustin Wolf Looks To Return To Winning Ways Versus Stars
Calgary Flames goaltender Dustin Wolf will attempt to end a two-game losing streak in Sunday's matchup against Dallas. Following an impressive 5-0-1 run, Wolf has allowed four goals in back-to-back games, taking a pair of beating from Ottawa and Columbus. He has yet to lose three starts on the trot this season. Wolf's consistency has given him an 8-4-1 record with a 2.60 goals-against average, a .919 save percentage, and one shutout. However, to get back to winning ways on Sunday, Wolf has to outplay Jake Oettinger, whose work has helped the Stars to a 10-2-0 home record and who's tied for the second-most wins in the league (13).
Calgary Flames goaltender Dustin Wolf was impeccable in his work against Nashville on Friday, recording his first career shutout with 29 saves in a 2-0 win. After finishing last month with a couple of bad defeats, Wolf has quickly heated up again, going 3-0-1 in his four November starts. He carries a 6-2-1 record for the season and has allowed 2.53 goals with a .921 save percentage. Wolf has started to see more action compared to Dan Vladar and could end up having a special campaign if he keeps up his recent form. The 23-year-old is set to face the Islanders next in a tricky matchup against a team that has scored three-plus goals in five consecutive games.
Calgary Flames goaltender Dustin Wolf produced 28 saves in Monday's 3-1 victory over the L.A. Kings. The Kings had scored multiple goals in nine straight games before running into Wolf, who improved to 5-2-1 for the year. He's gone three starts without a regulation defeat, logging a 2.84 goals-against average and a .913 save percentage in eight appearances. Wolf endured a couple of rough nights at the end of last month but has bounced back in style. His next start will likely come on Friday versus the struggling Predators. Dan Vladar should be between the sticks for Tuesday's matchup against Vancouver.
Calgary Flames goaltender Dustin Wolf made it two wins in two starts to begin the year on Tuesday, stopping 31 of 32 shots in a 3-1 victory over Chicago. Wolf, who started the campaign with a 6-3 triumph versus Philadelphia, was only beaten by Nick Foligno late in the first period on Tuesday. Despite seeing action in just two games, Wolf has already produced 68 saves. He carries a perfect 2-0-0 record with a 2.02 goals-against average and a .944 save percentage. Dan Vladar is also 2-0-0 through the first few games of the season but has given up six goals with a .880 save percentage. The Flames are currently alternating starts between the goalies, but it might not take long until Wolf runs away with the starter's job.
Calgary Flames goaltender Dustin Wolf will make his first appearance of the season in Saturday's matchup against Philadelphia. The Flames enjoyed a winning start to the campaign on Wednesday with Dan Vladar in the crease, but he wasn't very sharp, giving up five goals on 24 shots. Wolf has built himself a big reputation in the AHL, but things haven't yet clicked for him very well in the big league. The 23-year-old carries a 7-7-1 career record, having allowed 3.16 goals with a .893 save percentage. However, Wolf has won each of his last four NHL starts and catches the Flyers on the second night of a back-to-back, so he looks to be a solid option between the pipes for fantasy managers on Saturday.
Calgary Flames netminder Dustin Wolf will be between the pipes for Thursday's contest against the visiting San Jose Sharks. The 23-year-old has appeared in 16 games for the Flames this season, turning in a 3.30 goals-against average and an .891 save percentage while going 6-7-1 in that time. He has been excellent with the American Hockey League's Calgary Wranglers, however, turning in a 2.43 GAA and a .923 save percentage across 35 games. Wolf is firmly the goaltender of the future in Calgary but Jacob Markstrom still has two years and a $6 million annually left on his contract.
Calgary Flames goaltender Dustin Wolf will be in goal for the team's contest with the visiting Washington Capitals on Monday. The 22-year-old will be making his 10th appearance (eighth start) of the season for the Flames, posting a 3.14 goals-against average and a .900 save percentage in that time. However, he has had a big season with the American Hockey League's Calgary Wranglers, working to a 2.43 GAA and a .923 Sv% across 35 contests, posting a 20-11-3 record in the process. The 2019 seventh-round pick will take on a Capitals offense that has struggled this season, ranking 29th with just .262 goals per game, making him a solid streaming option on Monday night.
Calgary Flames goaltender Dustin Wolf is likely to begin the 2023-24 season with the Calgary Wranglers of the AHL, according to GM Craig Conroy. Wolf had a tremendous season with the Wranglers last year, posting a 42-10-2 record with a .932 SV% and 2.09 GAA, prompting some to believe the Flames would bring him up as an insurance policy if start Jacob Markstrom got off to a rough start to the season. It doesn't seem like that will be the case, though, as both Markstrom and Dan Vladar would need to clear waivers and the Flames don't want to lose either. If there is underperformance or an injury, Wolf would be the next man up. He is worth keeping an eye on in redraft leagues and should be owned in all dynasty leagues.
