Vladar allowed three goals on 17 shots in Friday's 3-2 preseason loss to the Jets.
Vladar's last chance to make a case to start Opening Night didn't go particularly well, especially when the Flames played a rare tight game defensively. The 27-year-old netminder finishes the preseason with nine goals allowed on 86 shots, a line not all that different from Dustin Wolf (eight goals on 80 shots) and slightly worse than Devin Cooley (five goals on 70 shots). Vladar is likely to begin the regular season in the NHL, but with the Flames expected to struggle while also looking toward Wolf as the future of the crease, it's unlikely Vladar will carry much fantasy value.
