The Calgary Flames are well-positioned in goal, with a reliable NHL tandem and a deep pool of prospects developing in the system. While other areas of the roster may need upgrades, the crease is not a concern.
Everyday Veterans
Dustin Wolf remains the cornerstone of the Flames' future. After signing a seven-year, $52.5 million contract last September, his numbers dipped slightly in his sophomore season—3.01 goals-against average and .899 save percentage—but he remains a key building block. Devin Cooley emerged as a standout story, winning the backup job out of training camp and posting a 2.69 GAA and .909 save percentage in 31 games, earning a two-year extension.
Prospect Pool
The Flames have consistently drafted goaltenders in later rounds since selecting Wolf in 2019. Arsenii Sergeev impressed last season, earning a call-up for his first NHL start and stopping 27 of 28 shots against the Los Angeles Kings. Owen Say played 19 games with the Wranglers after signing as a college free agent in 2025. Kirill Zarubin signed an entry-level contract in May, and 2023 draft pick Yegor Yegorov has committed to Miami University.
Pending Free Agents
Ivan Prosvetov, who signed a one-year deal last summer, spent the season with the Wranglers after losing the training camp battle to Cooley. He played only 25 games and is an unrestricted free agent, likely to move on.
Draft Outlook
The Flames often select a goaltender in the draft, but given their depth, it is unlikely to be a priority in the early rounds. Expect them to target a netminder later in the draft.
