The Calgary Flames meet the St. Louis Blues for the second time in three days, wrapping up their season series at the Enterprise Center.

The Calgary Flames (21-15-7) will look to avoid getting swept in their regular season series with the St. Louis Blues (21-20-4) on Thursday night at the Enterprise Center.

Thus far, the Blues have won both meetings, each contest by one goal: 4-3 in overtime on Dec. 5 and, most recently, 2-1 on Tuesday.

Both teams are 6-4-0 in their previous ten games and separated by three points in the Western Conference standings.

Between the Pipes

Dustin Wolf will be back in the crease tonight, having not played on Tuesday. He's been in the net for four of the six games in 2025, producing a 3-1-0 record with just eight goals against and a .929 SV%.

Given the importance of tonight's contest, Wolf, who is 15-6-2 on the season, will be relied upon to backstop the Flames to a win and valuable two points, which will create some separation in the wildcard race.

Surprisingly, he is winless against the Blues in one appearance, giving up four goals and finishing with a .778 SV%, his worst statistics against any opponent in his young career.

Meanwhile, St. Louis has opted to switch out goalies, replacing Flames killer Jordan Binnington with Joel Hofer.

The 24-year-old from Winnipeg, MB, is 9-4-1 in 15 games with a 2.86 GAA and .902 SV%. He's only played Calgary once in his career, Oct. 26, 2023, pitching a 27-save shutout at the Saddledome.
