Calgary Flames News

Wolf, the runner-up for the Calder Trophy in the 2024-25 season, has had a disappointing 2025-26 season, but is coming off a stellar performance, saving 24 of 25 shots (.960 SV%) in a 4-1 win over the Florida Panthers. That said, the struggles have largely continued for the 24-year-old Wolf, who has a 3.48 GAA and .879 SV% since the beginning of March (3-3-0). The Flames enter Tuesday's contest as +125 home underdogs against a Los Angeles Kings team on a three-game losing streak (0-1-2).

Wolf's disappointing 2025-26 season continued in his previous outing, allowing four goals on 24 shots (.833 SV%) in a 5-2 loss to the Detroit Red Wings. The 24-year-old Wolf, last season's Calder Trophy runner-up, has just five wins in 18 games since the beginning of January (5-12-1), posting subpar numbers of 3.36 GAA and .889 SV%. The Flames enter Friday's contest with -105 odds at home against a Florida Panthers team coming off an impressive 4-0 win over the Edmonton Oilers last night.

After a tremendous start to his Flames' tenure, posting a stellar 2.27 GAA and .923 SV% in his first 22 appearances (7-11-4), Cooley has struggled in recent games and will hope to rebound on Wednesday against the St. Louis Blues. The 28-year-old goalie is coming off consecutive poor-quality starts for the first time this season, allowing nine goals on 38 combined shots (.763 SV%) in his last two games (0-2-0). The Flames enter Wednesday's contest as +110 home underdogs against a Blues team whose seven-game point streak (6-0-1) ended on Sunday in a 3-2 loss to the Winnipeg Jets.

Yan Kuznetsov (undisclosed) will not play on Monday, allowing Brzustewicz to re-enter the lineup. The 21-year-old Brzustewicz is averaging 14:04 time-on-ice and has has two points (1G / 1A) in 19 games this season.

Kuznetsov has seen more favourable offensive deployment since the Flames have traded away several key defensemen in recent weeks, including some time on the powerplay but will be forced to miss Monday's game vs. Detroit with an upper-body injury. The 24-year-old Kuznetsov is averaging 20:09 time-on-ice and has 12 points (4G / 8A) in 52 games this season. Hunter Brzustewicz will enter the lineup as Kuznetsov's replacement.

Ryan Lomberg will re-enter Calgary's lineup on Monday against the Detroit Red Wings, sending Klapka to the press box as a healthy scratch. The 25-year-old Klapka is averaging 10:41 time-on-ice, recording 14 points (5G / 19A), 99 penalty minutes, and 247 hits in 65 games this season.

John Beecher will be a healthy scratch on Monday, allowing Pospisil to re-enter the lineup. The 26-year-old Pospisil played 81 games in the 2024-25 season, but has been in and out of the lineup since making his 2025-26 debut in late January. The Slovak forward has two points (1G / 1A) and 37 hits in 12 games this season.

Wolf was excellent in relief of Devin Cooley in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the New York Islanders, saving all 17 shots he faced. That said, the 24-year-old Wolf has struggled lately, allowing four goals in each of his last four starts (2-2-0), posting an ugly 4.66 GAA and .850 SV%. The Flames enter Monday's contest as +160 road underdogs against an offensively challenged, injury-ridden Detroit Red Wings team that has failed to score more than three goals in six consecutive games (1-3-2).
