Wolf will tend the twine at home against Minnesota on Tuesday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
Wolf has seen Devin Cooley taking more of the workload of late, starting five of the Flames' last seven contests, but the 24-year-old Wolf was pressed into service in a relief appearance against Nashville on Tuesday. With a strong game versus the Wild, Wolf could reclaim his spot as the No. 1 option in Calgary.

Flames' Dustin Wolf: Blitzed early in loss
Rotowire
Wolf stopped one of four shots in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to the Lightning.
The Lightning chased Wolf after just 5:52 of the first period, his shortest NHL start. While he's shown some progress at times, this continues to be an inconsistent sophomore campaign for the 24-year-old goalie, who has little margin for error while backstopping a low-scoring team. He's now 6-12-2 with a 3.17 GAA and an .890 save percentage over a league-high 20 starts. Wolf will likely get a mulligan and could start against the Panthers on Friday since he didn't see much work in Wednesday's outing. However, if he continues to struggle, Devin Cooley could push for more playing time.

Rotowire

Flames' Dustin Wolf: Steady against Canucks
Rotowire
Wolf stopped 28 of 30 shots in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.
Wolf got back in the win column after a two-game stint on the bench. The 24-year-old allowed a goal 1:05 into the game to Filip Hronek, but the Flames scored the next five before Quinn Hughes' power-play tally in the third. With the win, Wolf improved to 6-11-2 with a 3.02 GAA and an .895 save percentage over 19 starts. Devin Cooley impressed in a pair of wins this week, so Wolf's start share should decrease, and the lightened load may help him put together more consistent performances moving forward. The Flames' road trip continues Wednesday against the Lightning.

Flames' Dustin Wolf: Set to start in Vancouver
Rotowire
Wolf will patrol the road blue paint Sunday against the Canucks, per Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
Wolf has lost back-to-back decisions, conceding a total of seven goals on 45 shots (.844 save percentage) in losses to Chicago and Winnipeg. The California native owns a 1-1-1 record, .889 save percentage and 2.93 GAA across three career appearances against the Canucks. This Pacific Division matchup could be a challenging one for the Flames, as they won 3-2 in a shootout Saturday against the Stars, while the Canucks haven't played since Thursday. Wolf surrendered five goals on 26 shots during a loss in Vancouver on Oct. 9.

Flames' Dustin Wolf: Disappointing performance
Rotowire
Wolf stopped 18 of 22 shots in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Blackhawks. The fifth goal was an empty-netter with 41 seconds left in the game.
Wolf posted a shutout in a 2-0 win over the Sharks on Nov. 13, but things have gone downhill from there -- he has given up seven goals on 45 shots faced over his last two starts. Wolf is firmly entrenched as the Flames' No. 1 netminder, but the team's offensive struggles limit his upside because he often has to do too much to get positive results. Wolf has gone 3-4-1 with a 2.60 GAA across eight appearances in November while posting a save percentage below .900 four times in that stretch.

Flames' Dustin Wolf: Handed shootout loss
Rotowire
Wolf allowed three goals on 23 shots in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Jets.
Wolf kept things close, but this was not a great follow-up to his 17-save shutout versus the Sharks on Thursday. The 24-year-old netminder has evened out a bit with a 3-3-1 record and 15 goals allowed over his last seven games, but wins will continue to be hard to find behind a low-scoring team. Wolf is at 5-10-2 on the year with a 3.01 GAA and an .896 save percentage over 17 starts. The Flames have a road back-to-back up next, with a visit to Chicago on Tuesday followed by Buffalo on Wednesday. Expect Wolf and Devin Cooley to split those starts.

Flames' Dustin Wolf: Posts first shutout of season
Rotowire
Wolf recorded a 16-save shutout in Thursday's 2-0 win over the Sharks.
Wolf was hardly tested in this contest, and he was more than capable of putting an end to the Sharks' recent run of success. The California native always seems to have his best performances against the Sharks -- this was his first shutout against his hometown team, but he's 8-1-0 with a 1.88 GAA and a .923 save percentage in nine career matchups against them. For 2025-26, Wolf improved to 5-10-1 with a 3.03 GAA and an .897 save percentage over 16 starts. While this was a positive performance, the Flames still need to play a lot better in front of Wolf to give him a chance at wins. They're back in action for a tough home game Saturday versus the Jets.

Flames' Dustin Wolf: Beaten three times Tuesday
Rotowire
Wolf stopped 28 of 31 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Blues.
This was Wolf's fourth defeat over his last six appearances, and the 24-year-old netminder continues to struggle between the pipes. He's allowed three or more goals in each of those four losses, although Wolf might be able to bounce back if he starts Thursday at home against the Sharks. Wolf has conceded 12 goals on 130 shots faced across five starts since the beginning of November, which translates to a .907 save percentage.

Flames' Dustin Wolf: In net against St. Louis
Rotowire
Wolf will guard the road cage Tuesday versus the Blues, according to Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
Wolf is 4-9-1 with a 3.26 GAA and an .892 save percentage through 14 starts in 2025-26. The young netminder will look to get on the right track Tuesday against a St. Louis squad that is 2-6-2 across its last 10 games. However, Wolf has not fared well against the Blues, posting a record of 0-3-0 as well as a 4.13 GAA and an .840 save percentage over three career games.

Flames' Dustin Wolf: On wrong side of shutout
Rotowire
Wolf stopped 23 of 27 shots in Friday's 4-0 loss to the Blackhawks.
Wolf couldn't quiet the Blackhawks' top line, and the Flames didn't offer him any support in this contest. It's a step back after Wolf had allowed just five goals on 72 shots over his first three outings in November. For the season, the 24-year-old netminder is now at a 4-9-1 record with a 3.26 GAA and an .892 save percentage through a league-high 14 starts. The Flames have a couple of fairly favorable matchups coming up, as they visit the Wild on Sunday and the Blues on Tuesday, though it's not yet clear if Wolf will start both of those games.

Flames' Dustin Wolf: Busy in win
Rotowire
Wolf stopped 42 of 43 shots in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Blue Jackets.
Wolf had his busiest game of the season so far and came away with a second straight win. He's allowed exactly one goal in three of his last five outings, so it appears he's starting to turn a corner after a tough start to the year. Wolf is still at a lackluster 4-8-1 record with a 3.19 GAA and an .895 save percentage over 13 starts. The Flames are back in action Friday at home versus the Blackhawks.

Wolf is set to start at home against Columbus on Wednesday, per Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
Wolf has struggled early in the 2025-26 season, posting a 3-8-1 record, a 3.39 GAA and an .884 save percentage through 12 appearances. However, he did stop 17 of 18 shots en route to a 2-1 win over Philadelphia on Sunday. Wolf faced Columbus once last year, allowing four goals on 33 shots in a 5-2 loss to the Blue Jackets.

Flames' Dustin Wolf: Gets back in win column
Rotowire
Wolf stopped 17 of 18 shots in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Flyers.
Wolf lost his shutout bid with 5:40 left in the third period, but it was still a fine bounce-back performance after he was pulled from Saturday's game versus the Predators. The 24-year-old netminder has won two of his last four games, allowing nine goals on 97 shots in that span, which suggests he's turning a corner after an ugly October. Still, the Flames aren't providing much support, which will make wins tough to come by. Wolf has a 3-8-1 record with a 3.39 GAA and an .884 save percentage across 12 starts. The 24-year-old will likely get the nod again Wednesday at home versus the Blue Jackets.

Flames' Dustin Wolf: Chance for rebound Sunday
Rotowire
Wolf will get the start for Sunday's game against the Flyers, Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
It was an ugly start for Wolf his last time out; he allowed three goals in the first period on 11 shots before getting the hook in a 4-2 loss to the Devils. That outing was emblematic of the season that the Flames' young netminder has had. The 24-year-old has a 2-8-1 record, a 3.62 GAA and an .881 save percentage. He'll look to rebound against a Flyers team ranked 24th in the league with 2.77 goals per game.
