Calgary Flames Sign Rookie Goalie Wolf to 7-Year Extension

The Calgary Flames have secured their future by signing rookie goaltender Dustin Wolf to a seven-year contract extension starting in the 2026-27 season, valued at $7.5 million annually. Wolf, 24, emerged as the Flames' top goaltender during the 2024-25 season, posting a 29-16-8 record with a .910 save percentage and a 2.64 goals-against average, nearly leading the team to the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Despite being a late seventh-round draft pick and considered undersized at six feet tall, Wolf has consistently outperformed expectations from his junior and AHL careers to his NHL debut. The Flames view the long-term deal as a worthwhile risk given Wolf's strong rookie showing, his leadership qualities, and potential to help build a competitive team alongside other young talents like Connor Zary and Matt Coronato. Wolf finished second in Calder Trophy voting and also received votes for the Vezina and Hart Trophies, underscoring his impact. The extension reflects Calgary's commitment to Wolf as their franchise cornerstone in goal for the foreseeable future.
