Flames' Dustin Wolf: Keeps it close in loss
Rotowire
Wolf stopped 24 of 27 shots in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Avalanche. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
Wolf gave up a goal in each period, but he did a decent job of keeping things close against a tough opponent. The Avalanche's top players were largely held in check, but their depth players accounted for all three goals on Wolf's line. The 23-year-old netminder has gone 2-2-2 over his last six games, but he's allowed just 13 goals on 167 shots in that span, so his performance is better than the record indicates. For the season, he's at a 22-13-5 record with a 2.54 GAA and a .914 save percentage over 40 starts. The Flames embark on a four-game road trip next week, beginning Monday in Toronto for the first half of a back-to-back set.

Wolf turned aside 26 shots in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Flyers.
The two teams put together a wild first period that saw six even-strength goals scored on 23 combined shots, but Calgary headed into the first intermission with a 4-2 lead, and Wolf made sure it held up. It was only his second win since the beginning of February, and fatigue could be a factor for the 23-year-old in his first full season as an NHL starter even with some time off for the 4 Nations Face-Off -- over eight starts during that stretch, he's gone 2-4-2 with a 2.88 GAA and .899 save percentage.
