Cooley allowed four goals on 16 shots Tuesday before he was replaced after two periods by Dustin Wolf, who made 11 saves in a 5-1 loss to Nashville.
Cooley had been hot leading into Tuesday -- he was 3-0-1 in four starts since Nov. 19 -- but the Flames helped make him look human against the Preds. Cooley is still 3-3-2 with a 2.17 GAA and a .920 save percentage in eight starts (11 appearances) this season. He will go into the record book as the goalie who allowed Steven Stamkos' 1,200th NHL point, a tap-in blocker side that stood as the winner.

Flames' Devin Cooley: Confirmed starter in Nashville
Rotowire
Cooley will guard the road cage Tuesday against the Predators, Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
Cooley has seen his workload increase lately, and he's registered a 3-0-1 record while stopping 127 of 137 shots (.927 save percentage) over his last five appearances. The California native has played better than Dustin Wolf recently, so the Flames are riding the hot hand, which has led to Cooley receiving his third consecutive start. The 28-year-old Cooley has momentum on his side heading into a matchup against a Nashville club that sits 30th in the NHL with 2.52 goals per game this season.

Flames' Devin Cooley: Loses low-scoring game in overtime
Rotowire
Cooley stopped 16 of 17 shots in Sunday's 1-0 overtime loss to the Hurricanes.
Cooley put in a quality performance here, keeping the Flames in a game against a team that wasn't at its best Sunday. Nikolaj Ehlers' tally at 2:52 of overtime broke the deadlock, snapping Cooley's three-game winning streak. Through 10 appearances, Cooley has gone 3-2-2 with a 1.88 GAA and a .930 save percentage this season. This was the 28-year-old's second start in a row and his fourth start in the last six games. He's put in good efforts, and that should be enough for Cooley to claim at least a timeshare with Dustin Wolf until his fortunes fade. The Flames wrap up their road trip versus the Predators on Tuesday.

Rotowire
Cooley will start Sunday's game against the Hurricanes, Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

Flames' Devin Cooley: Hangs on for third straight win
Rotowire
Cooley made 37 saves in Friday's 5-3 win over the Panthers.
The 28-year-old netminder looked like he was in for a long afternoon when Florida scored twice in the first three minutes of the first period after a couple of defensive miscues by Calgary, but Cooley kept his composure and gave his team a chance to rally. Cooley has won three straight starts and hasn't given up more than three goals in an outing all season, posting a 3-2-1 record with a 2.00 GAA and a .930 save percentage through nine appearances. With Dustin Wolf still struggling (3.17 GAA, .890 save percentage), Cooley's workload figures to keep growing.

Flames' Devin Cooley: Works in relief Wednesday
Rotowire
Cooley allowed two goals on 19 shots in relief of Dustin Wolf in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to the Lightning.
Wolf lasted just 5:52 before Cooley came into the game. The Lightning's attack slowed down a bit, and Cooley put in a decent effort even though the game was virtually out of reach by the time he entered. He's still at a 2-2-1 record with a 1.86 GAA and a .930 save percentage over eight appearances (five starts). Cooley won't maintain those ratios all year, but he's done enough to push for more starts, which should help the Flames keep from burning out Wolf in what's shaping up as a lost season. The Flames' road trip continues Friday versus the Panthers.

Flames' Devin Cooley: Holds on for shootout win
Rotowire
Cooley stopped 28 of 30 shots in Saturday's 3-2 shootout win over the Stars.
Cooley let a 2-0 lead slip away in the third period, but he redeemed himself by turning aside three of four shootout attempts. He's won his last two starts -- in the last two games -- and he is now 2-2-1 with a 1.81 GAA and a .935 save percentage. Success may be counter-productive for the Flames' long-term plans this year, but Cooley is giving the team a strong enough performance between the pipes that should allow Dustin Wolf to get more rest. Wolf will likely start the Flames' road-trip opener in Vancouver on Sunday.

Flames' Devin Cooley: Nabs first win of season
Rotowire
Cooley turned aside 28 shots in Wednesday's 6-2 win over Buffalo.
The 28-year-old netminder collected his first win of the season with a sharp performance that included denying the Sabres on all 13 of their shots in the third period as the Flames began to pull away. Cooley has made only six appearances this season while working behind Dustin Wolf, going 1-2-1, but his usage could increase considering he has yet to allow more than three goals in any of those outings, resulting in a 1.80 GAA and .935 save percentage.

Flames' Devin Cooley: Set for third start
Rotowire
Cooley is getting the start Sunday against the Wild, Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
Cooley is set to make his fifth appearance this season but just his third start; his other two appearances have been in relief. The 28-year-old has been good when called upon but is seeking his first win of the season, entering Sunday's contest with a 0-1-1 record, a 1.98 GAA and a .933 save percentage.

Flames' Devin Cooley: Gets no help in loss
Rotowire
Cooley allowed one goal on 18 shots in Sunday's 2-0 loss to the Wild.
Cooley made his fifth appearance (third start) of the season, but he once again didn't get enough support from the Flames' offense. They've scored just four goals over his three starts this season. Cooley is 0-2-1 with a 1.75 GAA and a .935 save percentage in 2025-26, but he won't offer much of a challenge to Dustin Wolf's status as the Flames' starter. Despite the good numbers, Cooley is not a strong fantasy option, as he is unlikely to rack up many wins behind a weak offense.

Flames' Devin Cooley: Perfect in relief against Predators
Rotowire
Cooley stopped all 12 shots he faced over the final two periods of Saturday's 4-2 loss to Nashville.
Starter Dustin Wolf allowed three goals on 11 shots in the first period, and the final goal was an empty-netter. Cooley doesn't have a win yet, and he's started just two games. Still, his 1.98 GAA and .933 save percentage sparkle beside Wolf's 2-8-1 record with a 3.63 GAA and an .881 save percentage. Watch for Cooley to get a start soon to see if he can give the poor-performing Flames a jolt.

Flames' Devin Cooley: Falls to Ottawa in shootout
Rotowire
Cooley turned aside 35 shots in regulation and overtime but failed to stop either shootout attempt he faced in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Senators.
The 28-year-old netminder was making just his second start and third appearance of the season, but Cooley did well just to earn the Flames a point in the standings, and there wasn't much he could do on any of the three pucks that got past him in regulation. Dustin Wolf is firmly entrenched as the No. 1 in net, but neither goalie will have much success behind a team that continues to flounder in its own end. Cooley is 0-1-1 and has given up six goals on 78 shots (.923 save percentage) to begin his Calgary tenure.

Flames' Devin Cooley: Starting against Ottawa

Flames' Devin Cooley: Works in mop-up duty
Rotowire
Cooley stopped eight of nine shots in relief of Dustin Wolf in Saturday's 6-1 loss to the Golden Knights.
Cooley played the third period and held his own. The Flames have scored just two goals in Cooley's two appearances -- that's too low to help him have a chance at collecting wins. Wolf remains the starter but has struggled mightily early in the season under a heavy workload, so Cooley may get more looks until Wolf gets on track. Neither goalie is a great fantasy play for the start at home Monday versus the Jets.

Flames' Devin Cooley: Loses team debut
Rotowire
Cooley stopped 29 of 31 shots in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to the Mammoth. The third goal was an empty-netter.
While he took the loss in his Flames debut, he kept the game from getting out of hand. Cooley won't be expected to play much behind burgeoning star goalie Dustin Wolf, but performances like this one should help Cooley stay with the big club. Expect Wolf back between the pipes for Saturday's game in Vegas.

Cooley will take the second game of the Flames' back-to-back after Dustin Wolf tends the twine versus Vegas on Tuesday. It will be the 28-year-old Cooley's opening game of the season and first with Calgary. Looking ahead to the rest of the campaign, Wolf should see the bulk of the workload, leaving around 20-25 starts for Cooley.

He has played six games at the NHL level, all with San Jose in the 2023-24 season, going 2-3-1 with a 4.98 GAA and an .870 save percentage.
