The Tustin native posted a perfect 3-0 record with the Everett Silvertips, including one shutout, to complement a 1.00 goals-against average and .967 save percentage to earn the honors for the third time this season.

Wolf’s week began on Wednesday with a 25-save performance in a 4-2 victory over the Spokane Chiefs. On Saturday, he put forth a season-high 43-save effort in a 2-1 win against the Seattle Thunderbirds. The next day, Wolf posted a 21-save shutout in a 2-0 triumph over the Chiefs.

On the season, Wolf, who selected by Everett in the 2016 WHL Bantam Draft, holds a 23-7-1-0 record, including three shutouts, to go along with a 1.84 goals-against average and a .928 save percentage.

NHL Central Scouting recognized Wolf on its “Players to Watch” list for 2019 draft-eligibles, which was released last month. The 2001-born goaltender is listed as a C-rated prospect, indicating a fourth-, fifth- or sixth-round draft candidate.
