Dan Vladar News

Despite missing Philadelphia's previous two practices, Dan Vladar was a participant in morning skate on Saturday and will start Game 4 vs. Pittsburgh. The 28-year-old is in his first season with the Flyers and has been sensational guiding Philadelphia to a 3-0 series lead, with his 1.33 GAA, .946 SV% and 3-0-0 record. He will try to sweep the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday and close out Philadelphia's first playoff series since 2019-20.

Vladar needed to regroup after multiple collisions in the third period of Wednesday's 5-2 Game Three win over the Pittsburgh Penguins, but seemed no worse for wear in an impressive 28-save performance (.933 SV%). The Flyers will have a chance to sweep the Penguins and move on to the second round with a victory in Game Four, but if Vladar is unable to go, it would likely be Samuel Ersson tending the twine.

Vladar was outstanding in Game Two on Monday, saving all 27 shots he faced for his first-career postseason shutout in a dominant 3-0 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins. The 28-year-old Czech goalie ended the regular season by saving 51 of the last 54 shots he faced (.944 SV%), and has carried that momentum into his first postseason as a starting goalie, saving 43 of 45 shots (.956 SV%). The Flyers can take a commanding 3-0 series lead on Wednesday, entering Game Three as slight -112 home favourites.

The Flyers will of course stick with Vladar between the pipes as they aim to take a commanding 2-0 series lead on Monday. Vladar will be hoping for another night of light work in Game 2, after the Flyers limited the Penguins to just 17 shots on goal enroute to a 3-2 victory in the series opener. Just as they were in Game 1, Vladar and the Flyers are slight underdogs on the money line for Game 2, entering action at +125.

The Flyers can clinch a playoff berth with a win on Monday and will turn to Vladar to tend the twine against the Carolina Hurricanes. Vladar had a poor showing last week, allowing four goals on eight shots (.500 SV%) in a 6-3 loss to the Detroit Red Wings, but immediately responded by saving 27 of 28 (.964 SV%) in his next outing, a 7-1 win over the Winnipeg Jets. Besides his recent blip, the 28-year-old Czech goalie has been tremendous lately, allowing just one goal in four of his last five games (4-1-0). The Flyers enter Monday's contest as -111 home favourites against a Hurricanes team that has scored four or more goals in six of their last seven games (6-1-0).

Vladar allowed five goals on 17 shots (.706 SV%) last week in a disappointing 6-4 loss to the Washington Capitals, but has quickly returned to form, winning three straight while saving an impressive 62 of 65 shots (.954 SV%). The 28-year-old Czech goalie has won 10 of 16 games (10-5-1) since returning from the Olympic break, posting a solid 2.27 GAA and .911 SV% to help his team battle for a playoff spot. The Flyers enter Thursday's contest as slight +106 road underdogs against a struggling Detroit Red Wings team that last won 4-2 against the Flyers one week ago.

Some good fortune and two outstanding games from Vladar have catapulted the Flyers into third place in the Metropolitan Division, and they will look to solidify their positioning on Tuesday against the New Jersey Devils. The 28-year-old Vladar will return to the crease on Tuesday, looking to build on the 0.98 GAA and .951 SV% he has in his last two games (2-0-0). The Flyers enter Tuesday's contest as +108 road underdogs against a surging Devils team that is 2-0-1 in its last three games.

With only seven games remaining this season, the Flyers, desperately battling to remain within playoff contention, will turn to Vladar on Friday against the New York Islanders. The 28-year-old Czech goalie has been a steadying presence between the pipes all season, but he is coming off a disappointing performance, allowing five goals on 17 shots (.706 SV%) in a 6-4 loss to the Washington Capitals. The loss marked only the second time in the last 16 appearances that Vladar had allowed more than three goals in a game (8-5-3). The Flyers enter Friday's contest as +123 road underdogs against an Islanders team that has been outscored 12-6 in their last two games (0-2-0).

The Flyers have received tremendous netminding in recent weeks, led by Vladar, who will return to the crease on Tuesday against the Washington Capitals. The 28-year-old Czech goalie saved 32 of 35 shots (.914 SV%) in his most recent outing, a 5-3 win over the Detroit Red Wings. He has helped his team collect a point in five of his last six games (4-1-1) while posting a stellar 1.96 GAA and .928 SV%. The Flyers enter Tuesday's contest as +114 road underdogs against a Capitals team that has scored 11 goals in their last two games (2-0-0).
