Flames prospect Dustin Wolf named co-MVP of AHL All-Star Challenge
Dustin Wolf has added some hardware to his haul.
Wolf, the Calgary Flames prospect, shared Most Valuable Player honours at the AHL All-Star Challenge on Monday night after helping the Pacific Division to victory.
He split the award with fellow goaltender Lukas Dostal. The pair combined to stop 42 of 49 shots in the round-robin, three-on-three tournament featuring the American Hockey League’s best and brightest.
“It was an absolutely tremendous experience to be out here with [Matthew Phillips] and everyone else,” Wolf told Olivia McDonald of Wranglers TV. “There’s a lot of skilled guys in our division. Everybody kind of showed that tonight. It was just a blast.”
