Dustin Wolf is planting roots in Calgary.
The Calgary Flames goaltender has signed a seven-year extension with an average annual value of $7.5 million, the NHL club announced Tuesday.
After playing 17 games for the Flames in 2023-24, Wolf became Calgary’s No. 1 when Jacob Markstrom was traded to the New Jersey Devils in June 2024.
Wolf, 24, took full advantage of the opportunity, posting a 29-16-8 record with a 2.64 goals-against average and .910 save percentage. He was named a finalist for the Calder Trophy as NHL rookie of the year in a season in which the underdog Flames stayed in the playoff race until the final days of the campaign.
The California-born Wolf has seen his stock climb dramatically since being picked in the seventh round (219th overall) of the 2019 NHL Draft by Calgary.
After graduating from the WHL’s Everett Silvertaps, where he was named CHL goaltender of the year in 2020, the six-foot Wolf put up great numbers in the AHL. He was named the AHL’s top goaltender in 2021-22 and 2022-23 and was AHL MVP the latter season.
