Wolf is in the starter's crease at Calgary's morning skate.

Wolf has allowed four goals in each of his past three outings (0-3-0) and will look to redeem himself on Thursday against the New Jersey Devils. The 24-year-old Wolf has a 3.15 GAA and .898 SV% in six games since the beginning of February (.898 SV%). The Flames enter the action Thursday as +167 road underdogs against a Devils team that has been trending upward recently, going 4-1-0 in their last five games.

Wolf will start in New York on Tuesday.

Wolf has not been able to live up to the high standards he set as a rookie in the 2024-25 season, when he finished as the runner-up for the Calder Trophy. His struggles have been epitomized by his last two starts (1-1-0), during which he allowed eight goals on 46 combined shots (.826 SV%). The 24-year-old Wolf has a concerning sub- .900 SV% in nine of his last 14 outings (4-9-1). The Flames enter the action on Tuesday as +112 road underdogs against a New York Rangers team that played last night and won 6-2 over the Philadelphia Flyers.

InjuryInjury
Whitecloud (upper-body) did not travel with Calgary but has a chance to join their 5-game road trip.

Whitecloud has been a pleasant addition to Calgary's blueline since being acquired via trade, but he will miss some time, starting with Monday's game against the Washington Capitals. The 29-year-old defenseman is averaging a career-high 22:03 time-on-ice and has four assists in 14 games with the Flames.

Pospisil will be a healthy scratch in Washington on Monday.

Matvei Gridin will draw back into the Flames' lineup on Monday against the Washington Capitals, sending Pospisil to the press box as a healthy scratch. The 26-year-old Slovak, Pospisil, is averaging 10:34 time-on-ice, recording 34 hits and two points (1G / 1A) in 11 games this season.

Cooley will start in Washington on Monday.

One of the downfalls of playing for the Calgary Flames, the NHL's lowest-scoring team (2.50 GF / GP), is that Devin Cooley's modest 7-7-4 record does not do justice to how impressive he has been between the pipes this season. The 28-year-old Cooley is coming off another excellent outing, albeit another loss, 4-1 to the Ottawa Senators, but he saved 33 of 35 shots (.943 SV%) in the process. Amazingly, Cooley leads all goalies this season in save percentage (.923 SV%) and quality starts (.833). Still, the Flames enter Monday's contest as +175 road underdogs against a Washington Capitals team on a three-game losing streak (0-3-0).

The 20-year-old Gridin is averaging 14:18 time-on-ice and has seven points (3G / 4A) in 18 games with the Flames this season. Martin Pospisil will exit the lineup as a healthy scratch.

Gridin has been reassigned to the Calgary Wranglers (AHL).

Gridin has been a regular for the Flames in recent weeks, but he will play at least one game with the Wranglers, ensuring he is an option for them in the AHL playoffs. The 20-year-old Gridin has seven points (3G / 4A) in 18 games with the Flames this season.

TradeTrade
Calgary has acquired Max Curran, Victor Olofsson, a 2028 1st round pick, and a conditional 2nd round pick from Colorado for Nazem Kadri (20% retained) and a 2027 4th round pick.

Curran was a fifth round pick of the Colorado Avalanche in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft that has impressed over the past two seasons in the WHL. The 19-year-old Czech forward has 41 points (14G / 27A) through 31 games with the Edmonton Oil Kings (WHL) this season.

Calgary has acquired Brennan Othmann from New York for Jacob Battaglia.

Othmann was drafted 16th overall by the New York Rangers in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft. The 23-year-old forward has yet to make the full-time jump to the NHL level and scored only one point (1G / 0A) in 17 games with the Rangers this season.

TradeTrade
Calgary has acquired Ryan Strome from Anaheim for a 2027 7th round pick.

Strome has one year remaining on his contract after this season and hopes that a change of scenery can help him improve his offensive production after a trade to the Calgary Flames. After five consecutive seasons with over 40 points, the 32-year-old Strome has struggled in the 2025-26 season with the Anaheim Ducks, scoring only eight points (3G / 6A) through 33 games.
