Wolf turned aside 26 shots in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Devils.
New Jersey took a 3-1 lead into the third period, but Wolf was able to reap the rewards when his offense caught fire late. The 23-year-old netminder snapped a brief 0-2-1 skid with the win, but he may be fading as he wraps up his first full NHL campaign -- he's allowed at least three goals in five of his last six outings while posting a 2.97 GAA and an .899 save percentage.

Flames' Dustin Wolf: Keeps it close in loss
Rotowire
Wolf stopped 24 of 27 shots in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Avalanche. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
Wolf gave up a goal in each period, but he did a decent job of keeping things close against a tough opponent.

The 23-year-old netminder has gone 2-2-2 over his last six games, but he's allowed just 13 goals on 167 shots in that span, so his performance is better than the record indicates. For the season, he's at a 22-13-5 record with a 2.54 GAA and a .914 save percentage over 40 starts. The Flames embark on a four-game road trip next week, beginning Monday in Toronto for the first half of a back-to-back set.
