Wolf was outstanding in his most recent outing, saving 35 of 36 shots (.972 SV%), but received no goal support in a 2-0 loss to the Los Angeles Kings. The 24-year-old sophomore goalie has been terrific since returning from the Olympic break, saving 69 of 71 shots (.972 SV%) in two games (1-1-0). The Flames enter the action on Tuesday against a Dallas Stars team that played last night, defeating the Vancouver Canucks 6-1 to extend their franchise-best winning streak to nine games.
Wolf has had an inconsistent 2025-26 campaign and hopes the extended Olympic break can help him reset and return to the form that saw him finish as the runner-up for the Calder Trophy in the 2024-25 season. The 24-year-old Wolf entered the break by allowing four or more goals in seven of his last 10 games (2-7-1), posting an ugly 3.51 GAA and .881 SV%, and was largely outplayed by counterpart Devin Cooley. The Flames enter Thursday's contest as +112 road underdogs against a Sharks team they defeated 3-2 in their previous meeting.

Huberdeau scored a goal in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Edmonton Oilers, but the Flames announced on Thursday morning that Huberdeau will undergo hip resurfacing surgery, sidelining him for the remainder of the season. The 32-year-old Huberdeau was have a sluggish season, with 25 points (10G / 15A) through 50 games, but ends his 2025-26 campaign with four points (1G / 3A) in his last five outings.

Kirkland did not play in the Flames' previous game, and he has now been assigned to the Wranglers (AHL). The 29-year-old Kirkland averaged 9:49 time-on-ice and scored two points (1G / 1A) in 20 games with the Flames this season.
Parekh started the season in the NHL but struggled to acclimate before an injury sidelined him for a lengthy period. He was then sent to play for Team Canada at the U-20 World Junior Championship, where he excelled with 13 points (5G / 8A) in seven games. The talented 19-year-old defenseman carried that international momentum into a brief conditioning loan with the Calgary Wranglers (AHL), where he scored five points (2G / 3A) in four games. He will return to the Flames' lineup on Monday for his first NHL action since November 7th.
