Rookie Goalie Dustin Wolf Leads Calgary Flames to Shutout Win Over Nashville Predators

Friday, November 15th, 2024

In Calgary, rookie goaltender Dustin Wolf achieved his first career shutout, stopping 29 shots, while Daniil Miromanov scored his initial goal of the season, leading the Calgary Flames to a 2-0 victory over the Nashville Predators.

Blake Coleman contributed with an empty-net goal for Calgary, helping extend their current points streak to five out of six games after previously losing five out of six.

The Predators experienced their third shutout of the season, having only one win in their last seven games. Juuse Saros made 31 saves for Nashville during the match.

Both goalies, Wolf and Saros, excelled by making key saves on short-handed breakaway situations, keeping the score tight.

In terms of key takeaways, the Predators struggled to convert scoring opportunities due to a lack of precision. Steven Stamkos, playing his first season with Nashville, achieved eight points but only two at even strength.

The Flames, though in a position of power play advantage, did not succeed in turning multiple shots into goals.

Calgary managed to take the lead at the 6:38 mark in the final period with MacKenzie Weegar assisting on Miromanov's goal.

This low-scoring encounter featured an interesting matchup between the league's two shortest goalies: Saros, who stands at 5 feet 11 inches, and Wolf, the lightest at 166 pounds.

Looking ahead, the Predators will travel to Vancouver on Sunday, while the Flames are set to host the New York Islanders on Tuesday.
