Cooley's demotion would point to Dan Vladar (lower body) being healthy enough to serve as the backup against the Bruins on Tuesday. While the 27-year-old Cooley has yet to play in an NHL game for the Flames, he is performing well in the minors with a 14-3-0 record and .942 save percentage in 18 outings for the Wranglers.

Flames' Devin Cooley: Called up Friday
Rotowire
Cooley was recalled from AHL Calgary on an emergency basis Friday.
Cooley was sent to the minors ahead of the regular season, but he'll join the NHL club on an emergency basis since Dan Vladar is considered day-to-day due to a lower-body injury. Dustin Wolf will likely see most of the playing time if Vladar is unavailable, but Cooley will provide additional goaltending depth while Vladar is banged up.

Sharks' Devin Cooley: Ugly showing Monday
Rotowire
Cooley allowed eight goals on 22 shots in Monday's 9-2 loss to the Oilers.
Cooley was pulled just over halfway through the second period, but the game was already long over at that point. The 26-year-old has given up 20 goals over five appearances this season while recording a 2-2-1 record at the NHL level. If he gets the starting nod, Cooley won't be a particularly strong fantasy option for Thursday's game versus the Flames, but it would at least be a better matchup than Monday's was.

Cooley will patrol the road crease versus the Oilers on Monday, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.
Cooley was fantastic in his last start Thursday against Seattle, stopping 49 of 50 shots en route to a 3-1 victory.

Sharks' Devin Cooley: Stellar in win
Rotowire
Cooley stopped 49 of 50 shots in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Kraken.
The Kraken threw everything but the kitchen sink at Cooley, but he was able to limit the damage to a first-period goal by Brian Dumoulin. Cooley has won his last two outings, stopping 83 of 86 shots across those games after losing his first two NHL appearances. The Sharks are in evaluation mode, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Cooley start at least one of the team's last three contests.

Cooley was fantastic in his last start Saturday against St. Louis, turning aside 34 of 36 shots en route to a 3-2 overtime win. He'll try to secure his second career NHL victory in a middling road matchup with a Seattle squad that's 17-17-6 at home this year.

Sharks' Devin Cooley: Gets overtime win
Rotowire
Cooley stopped 28 of 29 shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime victory over the Blues.
What a night to remember for Cooley, as he produced the first NHL win of his career. He kicked aside the first 24 shots of the game until finally being beaten on the power play by Jordan Kyrou, who got one between the pads in the third frame. Brayden Schenn fired one past the 26-year-old goaltender late in the same period, but Cooley got the last laugh, saving the remaining shots sent his way, including three in overtime. Since the Sharks return to action Sunday against the Ducks, expect No. 1 netminder Mackenzie Blackwood to be between the pipes.

Sharks' Devin Cooley: Crumbles in third period
Rotowire
Cooley allowed four goals on 30 shots in Sunday's 5-2 loss to Chicago.
Cooley looked sharp early in his NHL debut, holding the Blackhawks to one goal through two periods. A third-period lapse proved to be the 26-year-old netminder's undoing, as he gave up three goals in the span of 1:23 before Chicago added an empty-netter. Cooley had gone 6-6-2 with an .891 save percentage for AHL Rochester this season before he was acquired by San Jose at the trade deadline. With Mackenzie Blackwood (groin) returning as soon as Tuesday, Cooley could soon find himself back in the minors.

Cooley has a 3.77 GAA and an .891 save percentage in 14 contests with AHL Rochester this season. The 26-year-old is likely to remain in the minors, but there is a chance the Sharks will recall him because Mackenzie Blackwood (groin) and Vitek Vanecek (lower body) are both on injured reserve.
