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.
