Flames Goalie Decision Comes With Remarkable History Against Sharks

The Calgary Flames are starting goaltender Dustin Wolf on Monday night against the San Jose Sharks, leaning on his dominant career record against the opponent. Wolf enters the matchup with a 10-2-0 career record, a 2.08 goals against average, and a .919 save percentage in 12 games versus San Jose. The decision comes despite Wolf enduring a difficult start to the season with a 4.39 GAA and an .847 save percentage.

Calgary enters the contest having won six of its last nine games after starting the season 0-5-0, though they are looking to rebound from a 5-2 loss to the Colorado Avalanche. Projected forward lines feature Mikael Backlund centering Matt Coronato and Joel Farabee on the top line, while William Stromgren is projected to make his season debut on the fourth line.
