Rookie Reveal: Can Hockey's Fresh Faces Transform Your Fantasy Team in 2025-26?
Dustin Wolf: Emerging NHL starter with fantasy potential
Wolf played a handful of NHL games before the 2024-25 season, and his starting opportunity arrived this season when the Flames traded Jacob Markstrom to the Devils last summer. The 24-year-old is in the Calder conversation after recording a .910 save percentage, a 2.64 GAA and a 29-16-8 record. Wolf’s performance tapered off in the second half, as he earned a .918 save percentage through the first 26 games compared to a .900 mark over the final 27 games while not seeing a significant rise in expected GA/60, per Natural Stat Trick. Wolf has the summer to learn from his experiences and should be considered a solid starter again next season, but he’s not ready for a Connor Hellebuyck/Andrei Vasilevskiy workload yet. We should project 50-55 starts.
