The win may have been declared as his first road victory in the major leagues, but it felt more like a game played at home.
During the event, his grandmother, aunt, and uncle were present. His parents, who live in Seattle, were closely following the action. He felt his late grandfather, Ron, watching over them. Wolf expressed his joy during a post-game interview, stating that it was a dream come true for him to participate in the game and hoping for more opportunities in the future.
The day didn't begin smoothly for the masked man from Morgan Hill, California on a Thursday. William Eklund of the Sharks scored a goal after getting past the defense and making a slick move to his backhand, while Jacob MacDonald increased the lead when the Flames failed a breakout attempt. Rasmus Andersson started the comeback by scoring towards the end of a long second-period shift where he seemed to be everywhere in the offensive zone, and Nazem Kadri tied the game on a power-play. Andrei Kuzmenko scored the winning goal in overtime amidst chaos around the Sharks' net, adding to Calgary's successful special-teams performance.

The player Wolf made 20 saves, showcasing his talent with a last-minute save on Justin Bailey. Wolf, the Flames' promising goalie, currently holds a 4-7-1 record in twelve starts this season at the highest level.
"During the post-game interview in San Jose, Flames head coach Ryan Huska mentioned how the team cares for each other and recognized the significance of the night for Wolfie. He praised Wolfie's performance, noting that he was solid and made key saves when called upon. Huska was pleased with how calm and composed Wolfie appeared, especially in the second and third periods when he didn't face as much action."
When he looked around, he could easily see his family in the stands because there were not many people wearing red. Wolf mentioned that it was enjoyable to play in front of his family, but the main goal of the trip was to win games. The Flames' power-play has been successful, with a 10-for-22 record in the last six games.
Kadri emphasized the importance of scoring goals in hockey games during a media interview in San Jose. Kuzmenko has been performing exceptionally well, with 11 points in a six-game streak. Solovyov, a rookie defenseman recently called up from the minor leagues, made a strong impression in his first NHL game since December by taking three shots, delivering three hits, and making a crucial block on the penalty-kill. Despite Huska's emphasis on Solovyov's need to improve his first pass, his standout play was a clever pass off the boards that led to a successful two-on-one rush. Okhotiuk was traded from San Jose to Calgary on deadline day and earned his first point in seven games with an assist on Andersson's goal. However, Okhotiuk also made a mistake by getting caught on a bad pinch during Eklund's early goal.
