Wolf, who is leading the league in games played and minutes played, is coming off a shutout victory against the San Jose Sharks, where he stopped all 17 shots he faced. His teammate, defenseman Rasmus Andersson, expressed confidence in the young goalie, noting his quickness and eagerness to play. Coach Huska praised Wolf’s consistent mindset, noting his preparation.

Andersson himself says his game trending upwards, highlighted by his increased shot volume, penalty-killing duties, and all-around play. He mentioned a meeting with Coach Huska helped to re-affirm some of his beliefs.
