Dan Vladar - Page 2 - NHL News & Rumors

Set for return Wednesday Vladar (lower body) will be activated off injured reserve to start Wednesday's road clash against the Blue Jackets, per Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers.

Impact With head coach Rick Tocchet confirming Vladar is good to go for Wednesday's contest, the netminder will make his return following a six-game absence. Across 28 appearances this season, the 28-year-old Vladar has a 16-7-4 record, a 2.46 GAA and a .905 save percentage. His return should help shore up the Flyers' defense, which has allowed at least four goals in four of their last six games. Vladar will face a Blue Jackets offense that ranks 20th in the NHL with 3.00 goals per game, giving him a favorable matchup for his return.

Close to return Vladar (lower body) participated in Monday's morning skate and is nearing a return to the lineup, Charlie O'Connor of PHLY Sports reports.

Impact Vladar will miss his sixth straight game when the Flyers host the Islanders on Monday, but he probably could have served as Samuel Ersson's backup. However, Philadelphia will give the 28-year-old Vladar some additional time to recover before activating him from injured reserve. He has posted a 16-7-4 record with a 2.46 GAA and a .905 save percentage across 28 appearances this season.

On injured reserve Vladar (undisclosed) was put on injured reserve Monday, per Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia.

Impact Bobby Brink (upper body) was taken off IR in a corresponding move. Vladar last played Wednesday, so this move can be retroactive to that date. The 28-year-old goaltender has a 16-7-4 record, 2.46 GAA and .905 save percentage in 28 outings in 2025-26. Samuel Ersson and Aleksei Kolosov are competing for work while Vladar is on the shelf.

Unavailable for Saturday Vladar (undisclosed) isn't expected to play at home Saturday versus the Rangers, per Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia.

Impact Vladar also missed Wednesday's 6-3 loss to Pittsburgh because of the injury. He has a 16-7-4 record, 2.46 GAA and .905 save percentage in 28 appearances this season. Vladar is still regarded as day-to-day, so he might be an option Monday in Vegas. Until Vladar is ready to return, Samuel Ersson and Aleksei Kolosov will compete for starts.

Out as expected Thursday Vladar (undisclosed) won't suit up Thursday versus the Penguins, Flyers Director of Broadcasting Brian Smith reports.

Impact Vladar will miss at least one game with the injury he sustained Wednesday against the Sabres. An update on Vladar's status hasn't been provided by the team yet, leaving his timeline to return in question. Samuel Ersson and Aleksei Kolosov will handle the goaltending duties until Vladar is able to return.

Leaves Wednesday's game Vladar sustained an undisclosed injury Wednesday versus the Sabres and will be evaluated after the game.

Impact Vladar's injury occurred at some point in the first period. He allowed two goals on five shots prior to his exit, and Samuel Ersson took over in goal. If Vladar misses additional time, expect Aleksei Kolosov to get called up from AHL Lehigh Valley.

Drawing start against Buffalo Vladar will start Wednesday's road game against Buffalo, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.

Impact Vladar has posted an 0-1-1 record over his last two starts, but he carried a three-game winning streak prior to that stretch. Overall, he's gone 3-1-1 with a 2.60 GAA and .897 save percentage across his last five outings. The Sabres are scoring 3.18 goals per game this year, which ranks 12th in the NHL.

JANUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Can use a little help from friends Vladar made 21 saves in a 5-1 loss to the Lightning on Monday.

Impact Vladar played well, but his team was still shaken from Saturday's 7-2 loss to Bolts. It was his first regulation loss since Dec. 28, and he'd gone 3-0-1 in his next four contests. Vladar has been a very pleasant surprise for the Flyers. He's 16-7-4 with a 2.42 GAA and .907 save percentage in 27 starts this season, and he's already set a career mark for wins.

JANUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE

In goal against Bolts Vladar will get the starting nod at home versus Tampa Bay on Monday.

Impact Vladar is undefeated in regulation over his last four contests, going 3-0-1 with a 2.23 GAA. Given his current pace, the 28-year-old Czech should push for the 30-win threshold this year, which would be a huge improvement considering he has never reached the 20-win mark in his six-year NHL career.

JANUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Career season continues Vladar made 21 saves in a 2-1 overtime loss to Toronto on Thursday.

Impact Vladar was nursing a shutout until the 14:04 mark of the third when former Philly pivot, Scott Laughton, beat him from distance while shorthanded. And he allowed the winner on an odd-man rush in OT. Vladar had rung up three straight wins prior to Thursday's game. He's 3-0-1 in his last four starts and 5-1-1 in his seven. Overall, Vladar continues to deliver the best numbers of his career. He is 16-6-4 with a 2.35 GAA and .910 save percentage.

First goalie off ice Thursday Vladar is expected to defend the home cage versus Toronto on Thursday, Siobhan Nolan of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Vladar has won his last three games, giving the 28-year-old a 16-6-3 record with a 2.37 GAA and a .910 save percentage over 25 games this season. He has a firm grip on the No. 1 job in Philadelphia, pushing Samuel Ersson to a backup role. The Maple Leafs are tied for eighth in NHL scoring this season with 141 goals.

Sharp in Tuesday's win Vladar made 16 saves in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Ducks.

Impact The 28-year-old netminder wasn't busy, but Vladar made sure the result was never in much doubt once Philly took the lead, and the only pucks that got by him came on Anaheim power plays. Vladar extended his win streak to three games with the performance, and he has just one regulation loss in his last nine outings, going 6-1-2 with a stellar 1.98 GAA and .916 save percentage.

Impact Vladar has been putting up decent numbers of late, going 4-1-0 with a 2.01 GAA and .919 save percentage in his last five outings. With his 15 wins this year, the 28-year-old backstop has already set a new career high for victories and should be capable of challenging for the 30-win threshold.
