“The game maybe ends completely different if Wolfie doesn’t make that save.” “He’s full of big saves. And that was a huge one.” About last night, specifically a 13-second span that was key to #Flames 4-1 victory over Golden Knights ... https://t.co/s2cN9wrwTK

Ten minutes left in a 1-1 game against the defending champs isn't exactly when you'd expect a rookie to step up and be the hero. Enter Dustin Wolf, who confidently backstopped the Flames to a 4-1 win. @EricFrancis has more. https://t.co/bOPpHlBNmh
#Flames G Dustin Wolf after win over Golden Knights: “The team was excellent out there, from start to finish. A much more complete game than what we’ve seen the last couple. They let me see pucks. And if I can see pucks, I’m going to stop most of em.”
IMHO, that was #Flames Dustin Wolf’s best game as an NHL’er. 🐺 https://t.co/lh9fWjYSgh
Matt Coronato: 1G, +2, 4SOG, shots 11-6 at 5-on-5, 64.7 xGF% Dustin Wolf: 28/29, .966 SV% Important game for some important pieces against the defending champs. #Flames
Gutsy effort from a depleted Flames team against the defending champs, winning 4-1 on the back of a 28-save effort from Dustin Wolf. Guess who just earned the start Saturday?
Clutch save by Dustin Wolf at one end, rebound goal by Blake Coleman at the other and #Flames are up 2-1 on Golden Knights.
