Flames' Devin Cooley: Claims win in first BoA appearance
Rotowire
Cooley stopped 36 of 39 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Oilers.
Cooley made his first Battle of Alberta appearance and protected a 4-3 lead that Ryan Lomberg's goal created at 6:44 of the third period. The 28-year-old Cooley has gone 3-2-1 over his last six outings, allowing just 12 goals in that span. For the season, he's up to 7-6-3 with a 2.27 GAA and a .921 save percentage over 19 appearances. Cooley is still the backup to Dustin Wolf, but the duo has found some success alternating starts in recent weeks. It remains to be seen if that pattern will continue after the Olympic break.

Rotowire
Cooley will be in goal at home versus Edmonton on Wednesday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports
Cooley has a three-game losing streak despite posting a decent 2.34 GAA over that stretch. While the backstop's ratios have been solid this season -- a 2.22 GAA and .921 save percentage in 18 outings -- he's not getting enough work to make him a strong fantasy candidate outside of some spot starts.

Flames' Devin Cooley: Beaten three times Thursday
Rotowire
Cooley stopped 20 of 23 shots in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Wild. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
Cooley has lost each of his past three starts, but win-loss record aside, his performances haven't been all that bad. He has allowed three or fewer goals in each of his last six starts dating back to Dec. 20, going 3-2-1 with a 2.00 GAA and an impressive .933 save percentage over that stretch. Cooley should remain in a backup role behind Dustin Wolf, so his fantasy upside will be matchup-based in a best-case scenario, but his recent form suggests he's worth a look in specific situations when he's confirmed as the starter.

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.

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: 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.
