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.

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).
Wolf will return to the Calgary Wranglers of the WHL as Jacob Markstrom (upper-body) is set to return from injury. Wolf allowed one goal on 38 shots (.895 SV%) in his only game-action with the Flames, a 4-1 loss to the Ottawa Senators. Before being called up, Wolf posted an impressive 2.34 GAA and .924 SV% in six games (5-1-0) with the Calgary Wranglers.
Highly touted goaltending prospect Dustin Wolf has been recalled by the struggling Calgary Flames after posting an impressive 2.34 GAA and .924 SV% in six games (5-1-0) with the Calgary Wranglers. The Flames seem intent on carrying three goaltenders for the time being, but Wolf will likely see game action at some point and be given the opportunity to showcase his talents.
Wolf was 41-9-2 with a .932 SV% and 2.08 GAA with the Calgary Wranglers (AHL) and was recalled to make his NHL debut Wednesday vs. San Jose. The 21-year-old was Calgary's 2019 seventh-round pick (214 overall) and will take on the San Jose Sharks, who are in the midst of a four-game losing streak and are 25th in the NHL in goals per game (2.88).

Wolf, who is 14-0-2 with a 1.84 GAA and .940 SV% in 16 AHL games this season, will backup Jacob Markstrom on Thursday.
Wolf was picked in the seventh-round of the 2019 draft and has been an absolute stud ever since. The 19-year-old had another terrific season with Everett (WHL), tying for the league-lead in Wins (34) and leading the league in GAA (1.88), SV% (.936) and shutouts (9). Unsurprisingly, he was named the WHL's top goaltender of 2019-20 and appears to be on the fast-track to the NHL.
