The Calgary Flames are in the playoff hunt, and if they hope to earn a spot, they need to use Dustin Wolf as their clear-cut starter.

But as of Dec. 21, Wolf has played seven of nine games and won his last three games, including on Monday against the Chicago Blackhawks. In Wolf’s last nine games, he’s gone 7-1-1, almost singlehandedly keeping the Flames in the thick of the playoff race.

The Calgary Flames were unable to exact revenge on the St. Louis Blues. After falling to the Blues by a 2-1 final on Tuesday night, they dropped last night’s rematch by a 4-1 final.

Brayden Schenn scored twice, Jordan Kyrou had his 20th goal and the St. Louis Blues beat the Calgary Flames 4-1 on Thursday night to sweep a two-game set in St. Louis.

Overall, the Flames' No. 1 goaltender is 15-6-2 with a pair of shutouts, a 2.50 GAA and a .916 save percentage. He has finally come into his own as an NHL goalkeeper after he was considered one of the top goaltenders in the minors the last three seasons.

On Thursday night, for the second time in three days, the Calgary Flames faced the St. Louis Blues on the road. For the second time in three days, they were held to just a single goal and just couldn’t muster enough offence to overcome their mistakes.

We’ve reached the midway point of the season, so awards talk has been on some people’s minds as we look at some of the performances over the course of the first half of the season.
