Vladar will defend the Czech goal versus France on Friday at the 2026 Winter Olympics.
Vladar backed up Lukas Dostal on Thursday as Canada defeated the Czechs 5-0. Vladar is having an outstanding season with the Flyers, going 17-8-6 with a gaudy 2.47 GAA and a .905 save percentage. France looks to be the weakest team in the tournament, and that will benefit Vladar.
