The 24-year-old Wolf has a solid 2.00 GAA and .925 SV% in his last six games (3-2-1). He has a 3.01 GAA and .896 SV% in 17 games this season (5-10-2). The Flames enter Tuesday's contest as -116 road underdogs against a Blackhawks team that is 4-2-2 at home.

Joel Hanley will be a healthy scratch on Thursday against the San Jose Sharks, allowing Bean to return to the lineup for the first time since November 1st. The 27-year-old Bean is averaging 16:38 time-on-ice and has one assist in 10 games this season.

Kerins made his NHL debut last season, scoring four points (0G / 4A) in five games with the Flames, but has primarily been an AHL player.

Strome has battled an upper-body injury that has delayed the start of the season, but he will debut on Thursday against the Detroit Red Wings.

That said, he is unlikely to match those totals after missing the first 16 games of the season.

The Flames find themselves on another three-game losing skid and will turn to Wolf on Thursday against the San Jose Sharks as they attempt to return to the win column and inch themselves out of the NHL basement. Wolf was serviceable in his most recent outing, but was on the wrong side of a 3-2 score against the St. Louis Blues despite saving 28 of 31 shots (.903 SV%). The 24-year-old Wolf is sporting a subpar 3.24 GAA and .893 SV% in 15 games (4-10-1). That said, the Flames enter Thursday's contest as -155 home favorites against a Sharks team riding a four-game winning streak.

Kerins made his NHL debut last season, scoring four points (0G / 4A) in five games with the Flames, but has primarily been an AHL player. The 23-year-old sixth-round draft pick has 14 points (5G / 9A) in 13 games with the Calgary Wranglers (AHL) this season.

Calgary's woes continue in the 2025-26 season, with another two-game losing streak, including being shut out in both games. The team will turn to Wolf on Tuesday against the St. Louis Blues. Wolf was the runner-up for last season's Calder Trophy, but has been inconsistent to start the season, a byproduct of poor team play by the Flames. The 24-year-old goalie has a 3.26 GAA and .892 SV% in 14 games this season (4-9-1). The last-place Flames (4-11-2) enter Tuesday's contest as +132 road underdogs against a Blues team (5-8-3) that ranks only marginally better than them in the standings.
