Wolf will start vs. Boston on Tuesday.
Wolf was phenomenal in his last outing, saving all 32 shots he faced for his second shutout of the season in a 3-0 win over the Florida Panthers. The 23-year-old Wolf remains a quality candidate for the Calder trophy, posting a solid 2.65 GAA and .915 SV% in 15 games this season (9-5-1). The Flames enter Tuesday's contest as +116 road underdogs against a Boston Bruins club coming off an impressive 5-1 win over the Vancouver Canucks.
Calgary has signed Brayden Pachal to a two-year, 2.375 million contract ($1,187,500 AAV).
