Cooley stopped 23 of 26 shots in Thursday's 4-3 preseason shootout loss to the Kraken.
Cooley has allowed six goals on 48 shots over two preseason outings. The 29-year-old netminder is firmly in the backup role for the Flames to begin the season, a spot that is unlikely to lead to many starts or wins. He'll likely play in the range of 25-30 games as Dustin Wolf's understudy in 2026-27.

Flames' Devin Cooley: Starting in Seattle
Rotowire
Cooley will tend the twine on the road in Thursday's preseason game versus the Kraken, per the NHL media site.
Cooley stopped 19 of 22 shots in a 4-2 loss versus the Kraken in Calgary on Sunday. He'll get another shot in Seattle as he makes his second preseason appearance. Cooley was effective in the backup role in 2025-26, and he'll likely see similar usage behind Dustin Wolf in 2026-27, though the weakness of the Flames' roster could make it difficult to replicate last year's numbers.

Flames' Devin Cooley: Surrenders three goals Sunday
Rotowire
Cooley made 19 saves on 22 shots in Sunday's 4-2 preseason loss to the Kraken. The fourth marker was an empty-netter.
Cooley conceded just one goal at even strength in this contest -- the other two markers came on the power play, so all things considered, the 29-year-old turned in a decent performance in the Flames' preseason opener. Cooley is entrenched as Dustin Wolf's backup heading into the 2026-27 campaign, so Cooley doesn't need to be rostered in most fantasy formats.

Flames' Devin Cooley: Facing Kraken
Rotowire
Cooley will patrol the home crease in Sunday's preseason contest against Seattle, according to Pat Steinberg of QR Calgary 770 AM.
Arsenii Sergeev will serve as Cooley's backup in Sunday's exhibition opener. Cooley posted a 10-10-6 record with a 2.69 GAA and a .909 save percentage in 31 regular-season appearances with Calgary in 2025-26. He will likely be Dustin Wolf's backup going into the 2026-27 campaign.

Rotowire
Cooley (illness) plans to represent Team USA at the 2026 World Championship, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports Friday.
Cooley missed Calgary's season finale due to an illness, but he'll get in some more work before he begins his offseason. He had a 10-10-6 record, 2.69 GAA and .909 save percentage in 31 appearances in 2025-26 with the Flames, who didn't make the playoffs.

Rotowire
Cooley (illness) will not dress for the season finale against Los Angeles on Thursday.

Rotowire
Cooley stopped 17 of 20 shots in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Kraken. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
Cooley's been a strong backup for much of the season, but he's started to falter. He's allowed at least three goals in six straight outings, going 2-1-2 in that span. For the season, he's down to 10-10-6 with a 2.69 GAA and a .909 save percentage over 31 appearances. Dustin Wolf will likely get the nod Sunday versus the Mammoth to kick off the Flames' final homestand of the season.

Flames' Devin Cooley: Holds off Ducks
Rotowire
Cooley stopped 36 of 39 shots in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Ducks.
Cooley allowed at least three goals for the sixth time in his last seven outings, but he did well enough to get the win. The 28-year-old bent a little, allowing two goals in the middle of the third period before settling back in. He's up to 10-9-5 with a 2.63 GAA and a .913 save percentage over 29 appearances. Cooley and Dustin Wolf have mostly alternated turns in goal lately, though neither has a favorable matchup ahead if that pattern holds. The Flames' road trip continues in Dallas on Tuesday, followed by a stop in Colorado on Thursday.

Flames' Devin Cooley: Tough night in relief Monday
Rotowire
Cooley gave up five goals on 33 shots after replacing Dustin Wolf midway through the first period of Monday's 9-2 loss to the Avalanche.
Calgary's defense never got off the plane in Denver, and neither of the team's goalies had much success against a 49-shot onslaught. Cooley has allowed fewer than three goals only once in his last six outings, going 2-2-1 during that stretch with a 3.95 GAA and .873 save percentage.

Flames' Devin Cooley: Done in by buzzer-beater
Rotowire
Cooley allowed three goals on 33 shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Ducks.
Cooley's nemesis in this game was Mikael Granlund, who erased both of the Flames' leads and scored at 4:59 of overtime. This was still a decent outing for Cooley, but he wasn't able to extend his winning run to three games. The 28-year-old netminder slipped to 9-9-5 with a 2.51 GAA and a .915 save percentage over 27 appearances. He's alternating starts with Dustin Wolf currently, and if that trend continues, it'll be Wolf at home versus the Canucks on Saturday before Cooley would be tasked with a tough road matchup in Colorado on Monday.

Flames' Devin Cooley: Sharp in shootout win
Rotowire
Cooley stopped 26 of 27 shots in Wednesday's 2-1 shootout win over the Blues.
Cooley had lost his last four results, giving up 15 goals over five appearances in that span. The 28-year-old netminder was dialed in for this contest, allowing just a Dylan Holloway tally in the second period. Cooley is up to 8-9-4 with a 2.47 GAA and a .916 save percentage across 25 appearances while operating in the backup role behind Dustin Wolf this season. Expect Wolf to get the nod Friday versus the Panthers, but Cooley has played at least once every three games over the last two months.

Cooley is 0-3-1 in his last five outings, posting a 3.82 GAA and .882 save percentage along the way. Still, with the Flames out of playoff contention, he will probably continue to see his fair share of the starts behind Dustin Wolf down the stretch.

Flames' Devin Cooley: Allows six goals Monday
Rotowire
Cooley stopped 22 of 28 shots on net in Monday's 7-3 loss to the Capitals.
Despite posting a clean second period while the Flames tied the game at three, Cooley allowed a trio of goals in both the first and third periods. With Monday's loss, the 28-year-old netminder now has a 7-8-4 record, a 2.45 GAA and a .917 save percentage across 23 outings this season. He has been held out of the win column in each of his four starts since the Olympic break. Despite his strong overall numbers that are tagged to a decent sample size, his value in fantasy is best served as a streaming option in deep leagues that prioritize saves. While Dustin Wolf is likely in line to start Calgary's second game of a back-to-back Tuesday, Cooley has a solid chance to appear in the team's contest Thursday against New Jersey.

Flames' Devin Cooley: Solid in loss
Rotowire
Cooley stopped 33 of 35 shots in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Senators. The last two goals were empty-netters.
Cooley's performance kept it close until the Senators' pair of empty-netters closed it out. The 28-year-old netminder has just one win over his last seven outings (1-3-2) despite allowing a modest 16 goals on 220 shots in that span (.927 save percentage). Cooley dropped to 7-7-4 with a 2.27 GAA and a .923 save percentage through 22 appearances this season. He still makes for a decent matchup-based streamer in fantasy when he gets the nod, and Cooley may see more playing time down the stretch to avoid saddling Dustin Wolf with too heavy a workload. The Flames' netminders are to be avoided in Saturday's home game versus the Hurricanes.

Flames' Devin Cooley: Between pipes Thursday

Cooley will patrol the home crease versus Ottawa on Thursday, according to Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
Cooley has been strong in limited action for the Flames, not allowing more than three goals since Dec. 10, a span of nine games.

Flames' Devin Cooley: Handed shootout loss
Rotowire
Cooley gave up two goals on 36 shots in Sunday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Ducks.
Cooley put in a good effort, but a bad bounce and a power-play snipe, both by Cutter Gauthier, led to the two goals against Cooley in regulation time. The Ducks added two tallies in the shootout to get the win. Cooley continues to be one of the better backups in the NHL, providing a steady option to give Dustin Wolf a breather from time to time. Cooley is 7-6-4 with a 2.24 GAA and a .923 save percentage over 20 appearances. Fantasy managers in weekly formats may want to steer clear of the 28-year-old for the week ahead, as the Flames host three of the NHL's top 11 offenses with games against the Stars on Tuesday, the Senators on Thursday and the Hurricanes on Sunday.

Flames' Devin Cooley: Guarding crease against Oilers

Cooley will be in goal at home versus Edmonton on Wednesday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports
Cooley has a three-game losing streak despite posting a decent 2.34 GAA over that stretch. While the backstop's ratios have been solid this season -- a 2.22 GAA and .921 save percentage in 18 outings -- he's not getting enough work to make him a strong fantasy candidate outside of some spot starts.

Flames' Devin Cooley: Beaten three times Thursday
Rotowire
Cooley stopped 20 of 23 shots in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Wild. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
Cooley has lost each of his past three starts, but win-loss record aside, his performances haven't been all that bad. He has allowed three or fewer goals in each of his last six starts dating back to Dec. 20, going 3-2-1 with a 2.00 GAA and an impressive .933 save percentage over that stretch. Cooley should remain in a backup role behind Dustin Wolf, so his fantasy upside will be matchup-based in a best-case scenario, but his recent form suggests he's worth a look in specific situations when he's confirmed as the starter.
