Calgary goalie and Calder Memorial Trophy runner-up Dustin Wolf has been named to the 2024-25 NHL All-Rookie Team. He joins fellow finalists forward Macklin Celebrini of the San Jose Sharks and defenceman and winner of the award Lane Hutson of the Montreal Canadiens on the team.
The other three spots went to forwards Matvei Michkov (Philadelphia Flyers) and Cutter Gauthier (Anaheim Ducks) and defenceman Denton Mateychuk (Columbus Blue Jackets).
Wolf compiled a 29-16-8 record in his rookie season with Calgary with a GAA of 2.64 and a Save% of .910. His franchise rookie wins was just one below that of Hall of Famer Mike Vernon, who in his rookie season of 1986-87 compiled a 30-22-1 record.
