Calgary Flames Player News

Wolf only lasted half of a period before being relieved by Devin Cooley on Monday, allowing four goals on 16 shots (.750 SV%) in an eventual 9-2 loss to the Colorado Avalanche. The 24-year-old Wolf was on a solid stretch before his recent blip, posting a 2.13 GAA and .920 SV% in five games (3-2-0). The Flames enter Thursday's contest as significant +210 road underdogs against a Vegas Golden Knights team that has scored three or more goals in three straight games (1-0-2).

Hurtig was a seventh-round pick of the Calgary Flames in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft that has just been rewarded with a three-year, entry-level contract. The 20-year-old defenseman scored 19 points (6G / 13A) this season in 64 games with the Calgary Hitmen (WHL).

The 70th overall pick in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft, Castagna was acquired from the Mammoth earlier this season in the Mackenzie Weegar trade. Castagna recently finished his Junior season of NCAA hockey at Cornell University, where he tallied 15 goals and 19 assists in 34 games.

John Beecher will draw back into Calgary's lineup on Monday, resulting in Gross being a healthy scratch. The 23-year-old Gross made his NHL debut last week and remains in search of his first point through two games.

The Flames have alternated goalies semi-evenly in recent weeks and will turn to Wolf for a second consecutive game on Monday against the Colorado Avalanche. The 24-year-old Wolf was serviceable in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Vancouver Canucks, saving 31 of 34 shots (.912 SV%). He has a solid 2.13 GAA and .920 SV% in his last five appearances (3-1-0). That said, the Flames enter Monday's contest as massive +308 road underdogs against an Avalanche team whose five-game point streak (4-0-1) was snapped on Saturday in a 4-2 loss to the Winnipeg Jets.

Zary has not played since suffering an upper-body injury on March 20th and it is still unclear when he will return, though his status remains day-to-day. The 24-year-old Zary is averaging 14:31 time-on-ice and has 24 points (11G / 13A) in 67 games this season.

Honzek has not played since undergoing surgery in mid-November to address an upper-body injury and has been sidelined since. The 21-year-old Slovak forward also was unable to represent his country at the Olympics as a result. He had four points (2G / 2A) in 18 games this season.

The Flames have been very fluid with their goalie rotation lately, and will continue that trend on Thursday against the Anaheim Ducks, turning to Devin Cooley to tend the twine. The 28-year-old Cooley has had some rough outings this month, but is coming off a stellar performance, saving 32 of 35 shots (.914 SV%) in a 4-3 overtime win over the Tampa Bay Lightning. He has a 3.16 GAA and .899 SV% in seven appearances in March (2-3-1). The Flames enter Thursday's contest as +123 home underdogs against a Ducks team with points in five straight games (4-0-1).

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).
