On Tuesday night, though, it was for a heartwarming reason.

He had a chance to send a youngster home happy, and he did it in the best way.
It's safe to say that goalie stick will take up a place of honor, and that this will be a night never forgotten.
The Flames lost the game to the powerhouse Avalanche, 3-1, but Wolf was sharp. He saved 36-of-38 shots on his net.
And he made a fan's night.
