Vladar has not played since suffering a lower-body injury two weeks ago and will return to the crease on Wednesday against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Before his injury, the 28-year-old Czech goalie was arguably Philadelphia's most valuable player, posting a 2.23 GAA and .909 SV% in his previous 11 games (6-2-3). The Flyers went 2-4-1 without Vladar and enter Wednesday's contest as slight +106 road underdogs against a Blue Jackets team that has won six of their last seven games (6-1-0).
