Wolf will patrol the road crease in Thursday's clash with New Jersey, per Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
Wolf will draw his second consecutive start Thursday after allowing four goals in his most recent outing. Since the Olympic break, the 24-year-old netminder has posted a 2-3-0 record, a 3.18 GAA and a .904 save percentage across five appearances. Overall, he has an 18-24-3 record, a 3.02 GAA and an .896 save percentage across 46 appearances this season. He's been a workhorse for Calgary this season, but will draw a solid matchup Thursday against New Jersey's offense, which ranks 30th in the league with 2.53 GAA this season. The matchup primes Wolf as a solid bounce-back candidate, giving him decent value across most fantasy formats.

Flames' Tyson Gross: Signs with Flames
Rotowire
Gross inked an entry-level contract with Calgary on Thursday, per Eric Francis of Sportsnet.
Gross spent three seasons at St. Cloud State, tallying 18 goals and 23 assists in 36 NCAA games this season. The undrafted free agent was considered the most sought after free agent from the college ranks this season.
Wolf stopped 25 of 29 shots in Tuesday's 4-0 loss to the Rangers.
While Calgary's offense stalled Tuesday, Wolf fell to the three-goal effort of New York's Alexis Lafreniere, who scored one goal in each period. With the loss, Wolf now holds an 18-24-3 record, a 3.02 GAA and an .896 save percentage across 46 games played this season. While he got off to a strong start following the Olympic break, the 24-year-old netminder has allowed four goals in each of his last three games. He has showcased plenty of upside for the future, but with the state of Calgary's offense, Wolf has become a depth matchup-based option for most fantasy managers. His next chance to bounce back could come Thursday in New Jersey.
Flames' Dustin Wolf: Slated to start versus Rangers
Rotowire
Wolf is expected to defend the cage on the road against the Rangers on Tuesday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
Wolf is set to feature in the second game of the Flames' back-to-back after Devin Cooley got the nod against the Caps on Monday. With just two more wins, the 24-year-old Wolf will reach the 20-win mark for the second straight year -- though he is unlikely to match the 29 victories he secured in 2024-25.

Flames' Yan Kuznetsov: Garners assist Monday
Rotowire
Kuznetsov logged a shorthanded assist, three hits and two blocked shots in Monday's 7-3 loss to the Capitals.
Kuznetsov has stepped up into a steady top-four role since the Flames offloaded two defensemen in the lead-up to the trade deadline. The 23-year-old plays more of a shutdown role, so he isn't likely to be a strong target in fantasy. He has 11 points, 54 shots on net, 70 hits, 85 blocked shots, 28 PIM and a minus-10 rating over 49 appearances.

Flames' Yegor Sharangovich: Nets second shortie of game
Rotowire
Sharangovich tallied a shorthanded goal and fired three shots on net in Monday's 7-3 loss to Washington.
Sharangovich converted the second shorthanded goal for the Flames in 76 seconds, scoring on the same penalty kill as Blake Coleman's goal. With the twine finder, Sharangovich is up to 13 goals, 23 points, 113 shots on net and 25 blocked shots across 59 games this season. Since the beginning of March, the 27-year-old winger has been heating up with two goals and three points over five games. If his string of solid performances offensively continues, he could provide sneaky value as a temporary streaming option in deep leagues.

Flames' Blake Coleman: Tallies shorthanded goal in loss
Rotowire
Coleman scored a shorthanded goal, fired six shots on net, blocked two shots and dished out two hits in Monday's 7-3 loss to the Capitals.
Coleman buried the first of two shorthanded goals in the second period for Calgary, as he dangled the puck in front of Washington netminder Logan Thompson before placing it top shelf. Coleman led the Flames' forwards statistically, garnering the largest number of shots on net, blocked shots and hits in the game. Overall, he is up to 15 goals, 25 points, 124 shots on net, 123 hits and 35 blocked shots across 51 games this season. His recent offensive output of four points in as many games and strong category coverage are two compelling reasons to roster Coleman in deep fantasy leagues for the time being.

Flames' Matvei Gridin: Sparks offense in second period
Rotowire
Gridin scored a goal and recorded three shots on net in Monday's 7-3 loss to Washington.
Gridin's goal helped inspire a mid-game turnaround for the Flames, who would go on to score three times in the second period to level the score at 3-3. With the twine finder, the 20-year-old forward is up to four goals, eight points, 37 shots on net and 17 blocked shots across his first 19 career NHL games. The rookie has showcased solid offensive potential in a limited capacity with the Flames this season, even posting a point in each of his last two games. While he's slowly approaching the fantasy radar in standard formats, Gridin is an intriguing name to roster in dynasty formats moving forward.

Flames' Devin Cooley: Allows six goals Monday
Rotowire
Cooley stopped 22 of 28 shots on net in Monday's 7-3 loss to the Capitals.
Despite posting a clean second period while the Flames tied the game at three, Cooley allowed a trio of goals in both the first and third periods. With Monday's loss, the 28-year-old netminder now has a 7-8-4 record, a 2.45 GAA and a .917 save percentage across 23 outings this season. He has been held out of the win column in each of his four starts since the Olympic break. Despite his strong overall numbers that are tagged to a decent sample size, his value in fantasy is best served as a streaming option in deep leagues that prioritize saves. While Dustin Wolf is likely in line to start Calgary's second game of a back-to-back Tuesday, Cooley has a solid chance to appear in the team's contest Thursday against New Jersey.
Whitecloud (upper body) didn't travel with the Flames for their five-game road trip, Eric Francis of Sportsnet reports Monday.
While the team hopes Whitecloud will be able to join them at some point during the trip, his absence figures to keep him out for at least the back-to-back versus the Capitals and Rangers on Monday and Tuesday, respectively. With Whitecloud unavailable, Joel Hanley will return to the lineup after missing Saturday's contest versus Carolina due to an illness.

Flames' Joel Hanley: Set to play Monday
Rotowire
Hanley (illness) is expected to be back in the lineup versus the Capitals on Monday, Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
Hanley will be back in action after missing just one game due to his illness. The defenseman has yet to score a goal in 58 games this season and has managed just one helper in his previous 22 outings. Given his lack of offensive upside, fantasy managers will want to pursue alternative fantasy options on the blue line.

Flames' Devin Cooley: Set to start Monday
Rotowire
Cooley will defend the road net against Washington on Monday, according to Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
Despite posting a 2.42 GAA and a .927 save percentage in his last seven appearances, Cooley has a 1-3-2 record over that span. He has gone 7-7-4 this season with a 2.27 GAA and a .923 save percentage across 22 games. Washington ranks 17th in the league with 3.11 goals per game this campaign.
Brzustewicz was recalled from AHL Calgary by the Flames, the team announced Sunday.
The injury to Zach Whitecloud (upper body) on Saturday created a hole for the Flames on the back end that Brzustewicz has likely been recalled to fill. If the 21-year-old Brzustewicz gets into a game, it will be his first since Jan. 29. He has played 18 NHL games overall on the season, recording one goal and one assist in those contests.

Rotowire
Gridin was summoned from AHL Calgary on Sunday.
