Dustin Wolf<\/a> signed a seven-year, $52.5 million contract with the Calgary Flames on Tuesday. The contract, which starts in 2026-27, has an average annual value of $7.5 million.<\/p>\n

The 24-year-old goalie is entering the final season of a two-year contract he signed July 30, 2024, and could have been a restricted free agent after this season. In 53 games last season, he was 29-16-8 with three shutouts, a 2.64 goals-against average and .910 save percentage that ranked second among United States-born goalies (minimum 40 games) behind Connor Hellebuyck<\/a> of the Winnipeg Jets. Wolf was second in voting for the Calder Trophy, given annually to the top rookie in the NHL, won by Montreal Canadiens defenseman Lane Hutson<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Wolf, also a member of the NHL All-Rookie Team last season, was not invited to attend the United States Men’s Olympic Orientation Camp for the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026.<\/p>\n

“You go through a season and you play well and you feel comfortable about yourself, and there are times when you still get overlooked,” Wolf said at the NHL\/NHLPA North American Player Media Tour on Monday. “It’s going to happen. It\u2019s how my whole career has been, people overlook me. I’m going out there to help my team win as many games as they can. If you win games, people notice and they take you, so that\u2019s the first step.<\/p>\n

“Would I have loved to go to the orientation camp? Sure, that’s the first step in going to the Olympics, but it’s not the end of the world. I got to spend another week training, getting ready for the season.”<\/p>\n

The Flames (41-27-14) tied the St. Louis Blues for the second wild card into the Stanley Cup Playoffs from the Western Conference last season but lost the tiebreaker in regulation wins (32-31).<\/p>\n
