Ranking the Flames’ five best backup goaltending options for 2021–22
The Calgary Flames need goaltending help.
31-year-old Jacob Markstrom is undeniably the team’s No. 1 option, with his $6 million contract and no-movement clause looming large over the Flames’ crease.
Right now, he’s also Calgary’s only option. The Flames currently have two goaltenders under contract and, with all due respect, Dustin Wolf isn’t ready to play in the NHL. In all likelihood, Wolf will be spending the entire 2021–22 season in the American Hockey League with the Stockton Heat.
