Wolf allowed six goals on 27 shots in Sunday's 6-1 loss to the Kraken.
The Flames' defense had a couple of breakdowns in the first period, and Wolf gave up three goals early. That was far too much to come back from. Wolf has given up 12 goals on 59 shots over two games against Seattle to begin his season, though the Flames will need to score more than one goal a game to give their goalies a chance. The Flames will have some time to recoup before hosting the Avalanche on Thursday in what is one of the most lopsided matchups on the slate early in the year.

Flames' Dustin Wolf: Drawing start in Seattle
Rotowire
Wolf will occupy the road crease Sunday against the Kraken, Eric Francis of Sportsnet reports.
Wolf get the start in the second half of a back-to-back after Devin Cooley was in net for Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Canucks. The Kraken are also on the second half of a back-to-back -- Seattle was defeated by the Oilers on Saturday. Wolf allowed six goals on 32 shots to the Kraken in the Flames' season opener on Thursday, so the 25-year-old netminder should have plenty of motivation to put in a bounce-back performance Sunday.

Flames' Dustin Wolf: Surrenders six goals Thursday
Rotowire
Wolf stopped 26 of 32 shots in Thursday's 6-1 loss to the Kraken.
Wolf endured a difficult season debut as Seattle scored three times on just six first-period shots. He settled down to stop all 12 shots he faced in the second, including an excellent recovery save that denied Jordan Eberle, but the Kraken broke through three more times in the third. Wolf ultimately surrendered six goals for just the third time in his NHL career and finished with an .813 save percentage in this woeful season opener.

Flames' Dustin Wolf: Allows four goals Saturday
Rotowire
Wolf stopped 25 of 29 shots in Saturday's 4-1 preseason loss to the Oilers.
Wolf faced plenty of pressure early, stopping the first seven shots he saw before Zach Hyman beat him on Edmonton's first power play. Connor McDavid and Ryan Shea added second-period goals before Kasperi Kapanen converted a third-period breakaway to complete the scoring. Wolf made several strong saves throughout the game, including an early glove stop on Leon Draisaitl, but at the end of the day, Calgary struggled to contain an Edmonton lineup featuring most of its top offensive players. Wolf is slated to open the season as the Flames' No. 1 goaltender, so he should be between the pipes for the regular-season opener against Seattle on Thursday.

Flames' Dustin Wolf: Tending twine Saturday
Rotowire
Wolf will patrol the road crease in Saturday's preseason contest against the Oilers, per Derek Wills of QR Calgary 770 AM.
Wolf will start Calgary's preseason finale before the Flames open their regular season schedule on Thursday. The 25-year-old netminder stopped eight of nine shots in his lone preseason outing of 2026-27, where he played the full game and helped the Flames pick up a 3-1 win over Vancouver. Wolf is looking to bounce back in 2026-27 after regressing slightly in the win column across 57 regular-season outings a season ago.

Flames' Dustin Wolf: Handles light workload in preseason win
Rotowire
Wolf stopped eight of nine shots in a 3-1 preseason win over Vancouver on Tuesday.
That's not a typo, and Wolf did play the full game. Vancouver really did manage just nine shots on goal. In defense of the Canucks, they dressed a primarily AHL squad for this exhibition tilt, but that also means it's hard to read much into Wolf's performance. The 25-year-old goaltender had a 23-29-3 record, 3.01 GAA and .899 save percentage in 57 regular-season appearances with the Flames in 2025-26.

Flames' Dustin Wolf: Tending twine Tuesday
Rotowire
Wolf will patrol the home crease in Tuesday's preseason contest against the Canucks, per Pat Steinberg of QR Calgary 770 AM.
Wolf will make his preseason debut Tuesday after Devin Cooley was the lone netminder to play Calgary's exhibition opener. The 25-year-old Wolf battled in the 2025-26 campaign, compiling a 23-29-3 record, a 3.01 GAA and an .899 save percentage across 57 regular-season games. He kept the Flames in countless games last season, and if the roster as a whole can take a step up in 2026-27, the young netminder could see better numbers in the upcoming campaign.

Rotowire
Wolf stopped 38 of 40 shots in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Avalanche. The third goal was an empty-netter.

Flames' Dustin Wolf: Tending twine against Avalanche
Rotowire
Wolf will defend the cage on the road versus Colorado on Thursday, Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
Wolf has allowed at least four goals in seven of his last 11 outings, posting a 3.89 GAA and 5-5-0 record along the way. With the Flames out of playoff contention, the team could split the workload down the stretch between Wolf and Devin Cooley. Both backstops are under contract next season, and while it should be Wolf's crease to lose, especially given his new $7.5 million AAV salary that kicks in next year, it could be an open competition during training camp.

Flames' Dustin Wolf: Fades late in loss
Rotowire
Wolf stopped 28 of 34 shots in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Golden Knights.
The game was tied at 3-3 through two periods, but Wolf let in three goals over the final eight minutes to take the loss. The 24-year-old has allowed 10 goals on 50 shots over his last two outings as the Flames deal with a brutal road trip late in the season. Wolf is down to 22-27-3 with a 3.09 GAA and an .895 save percentage over a career-high 54 appearances this season. He'll be a goalie to avoid even if he gets the nod Saturday in Anaheim.

Rotowire
Wolf gave up four goals on 16 shots before being replaced by Devin Cooley midway through the first period of Monday's 9-2 loss to the Avalanche.
Calgary's defense never got off the plane in Denver, and neither of the team's goalies had much success against a 49-shot onslaught. Wolf has had a bumpy March overall, allowing exactly four goals in six of his 10 outings this month en route to a 5-4-0 record with a 3.63 GAA and .879 save percentage.
