Not sure how the Flames numbers were that high, but I checked twice.

Second was weird...felt like Flames didn't have the puck (and the Corsi shows that) but also shows that Flames dominated changes and high danger in the 2nd.
One thing with Wolf and it's already been mentioned, but just elite puck tracking.
Even on both goals against that were deflections, he sees the tip and is following it, he just can't react quite in time to save it. But eyes are tracking it and he reacts, just couldn't get to it.
Honeslty that's such a big part of the game at the NHL level. I do worry at times that some of those deflections like tonight would maybe just hit a bigger goalie. But give me the small, athletic goalie every day, so much more entertaining to watch.
