Flyers' Dan Vladar: Earns OT win Thursday
Rotowire
Vladar stopped 27 of 29 shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Blues.
Vladar was beaten twice in the first period, but the 28-year-old was excellent the rest of the way to snap a brief two-game losing skid. Vladar has been trending in the right direction lately and has allowed two or fewer goals in three of his last four games, going 2-1-1 with a 2.45 GAA and a .911 save percentage over that prolific stretch.

Flyers' Dan Vladar: Gets little help in loss
Rotowire
Vladar allowed five goals on 28 shots in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Stars.
While his final line doesn't reflect it, Vladar was the only reason this game stayed that close. The Flyers came up flat in the second half of a back-to-back set, and the Stars took full advantage. Vladar has allowed four or more goals in three of his five outings in November, taking some of the shine off his strong start to the season. The 28-year-old netminder is at a 6-4-1 record with a 2.42 GAA and a .909 save percentage through 11 outings. The Flyers' next game is at home versus the Blues on Thursday, which is part of a two-game week for the team. That makes Vladar and Samuel Ersson unappealing options in weekly formats.

Flyers' Dan Vladar: Takes tough loss in OT
Rotowire
Vladar turned aside 30 shots in Wednesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Oilers.
A defensive miscue at center ice by Cam York led to a two-on-none break in OT by Edmonton, and there wasn't much Vladar could do to stop Jack Roslovic's game-winner. The 28-year-old netminder has still had a fantastic beginning to his first season with the Flyers, allowing two goals or fewer in eight of 10 outings while going 6-3-1 with a 2.15 GAA and .919 save percentage. Vladar's career high in wins is 14, set with the Flames in 2022-23, but he's on pace to blow past that mark by Christmas.

Vladar has won his past two starts while stopping 39 of 44 shots (.886 save percentage). He's 6-3-0 with a 2.18 GAA and a .917 save percentage in nine outings this year. Edmonton ranks 17th in goals per game this year with 3.06.

Flyers' Dan Vladar: Steady in win
Rotowire
Vladar allowed one goal on 24 shots in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Predators.
Vladar gave up a goal on a deflection with traffic in front of the net just 1:44 into the game. After that, the 28-year-old provided steady netminding to come away with his third win in his last four outings, two of which have been victories over Nashville. For the season, Vladar is at a 6-3-0 record with a 2.18 GAA and a .917 save percentage over nine starts. Samuel Ersson (lower body) was activated from injured reserve and served as the backup goalie Thursday, and it could be Ersson between the pipes Saturday versus the Senators. Prior to Ersson's injury, he and Vladar were splitting the workload, though Vladar did fine as the primary starter over the last week.

Vladar has been strong this season and has snatched the No. 1 job with the Flyers away from Samuel Ersson (lower body). Vladar is 5-3-0 with a 2.33 GAA and a .912 save percentage this season, his first with the Flyers. Nashville is 30th in NHL scoring, averaging only 2.53 goals per game.

Flyers' Dan Vladar: Gets win after queasy second frame
Rotowire
Vladar made 16 saves in a 5-4 shootout win over Montreal on Tuesday.
His mates staked Vladar to a 3-0 lead by 7:50 of the first period, and things looked solid. That is, until the Habs roared back with four unanswered goals in the second, including two in a 1:03 span. Vladar is 3-2-0 in his last five with 13 goals allowed; eight of those goals have come in his last two starts. We expect the balloon to break for him soon enough, and we're a touch concerned about back-to-back four-goal games. Keep the Vladar faith for now; this might be fatigue talking.

Vladar will defend the road net against the Canadiens on Tuesday, per Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.
Vladar is coming off a poor showing against Toronto on Saturday, allowing four goals on 19 shots before getting the hook.

Rotowire
Vladar allowed four goals on 19 shots before being removed in the third period of Saturday's 5-2 loss to Toronto.
Vladar was replaced by Aleksei Kolosov after Easton Cowan's goal early in the third. Vladar has played so well this season -- he has a 4-3-0 record with a 2.11 GAA and a .924 save percentage in seven starts. Saturday was the first start in which the 28-year-old goaltender allowed more than two goals in a game this campaign.

Flyers' Dan Vladar: Sparkling start continues
Rotowire
Vladar made 32 saves in a 4-1 win over the Predators on Thursday.
Valdar has been a bit of revelation in Philly -- this was his fourth win in six starts (4-2-0), and he's sporting a career-best 1.67 GAA and .939 save percentage to begin the year. That's likely to regress, as he has no track record for this type of performance. However, Vladar should be trusted until the cracks start to show.

Flyers' Dan Vladar: Takes tough loss to Sens
Rotowire
Vladar stopped 31 shots in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Senators.
Making his third straight start, Vladar delivered another strong effort in the Philly crease, but the Flyers' offense couldn't solve Linus Ullmark after Tyson Foerster scored on Philadelphia's first shot of the night. Vladar appears to have moved ahead of Samuel Ersson for the No. 1 job, at least for now, and Vladar's earned the assignment by allowing two goals or fewer in each of his first five outings with Philadelphia, en route to a 3-2-0 record, 1.81 GAA and .932 save percentage.

Flyers' Dan Vladar: Notches third straight win
Rotowire
Vladar made 21 saves in Monday's 5-2 win over the Kraken.
The only two pucks to get past Vladar came on a deflected point shot and a Seattle power play. The 28-year-old netminder is staking an early claim to the top job in the Philly crease -- he has yet to allow more than two goals in a start this season, winning three straight games. Vladar has posted a 1.75 GAA, .929 save percentage and 3-1-0 record through four outings in 2025-26.

Flyers' Dan Vladar: Defending home crease
Rotowire
Vladar will serve as the starting netminder at home against the Kraken on Monday, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Vladar will draw the start in a second consecutive game after he alternated starts with Samuel Ersson over the first five matchups of the season. Over Vladar's first three appearances of the season, he's gone 2-1-0 with a 1.66 GAA and .934 save percentage.

Flyers' Dan Vladar: Continues strong start with victory
Rotowire
Vladar stopped 15 of 16 shots in Saturday's 2-1 overtime win over the Wild.
Vladar has yet to allow more than two goals in his three starts so far this season, continuing that streak by limiting a Wild attack that mustered just 16 shots and scored once. His other two starts came against the reigning Stanley Cup champions in Florida. It's early, but the 28-year-old is certainly making his case to be the undisputed number one goaltender in Philadelphia; he's posted a 2-1-0 record, 1.65 GAA and a .934 save percentage against some tough competition. Still, Vladar will probably continue to alternate starts with Samuel Ersson for now.

Flyers' Dan Vladar: First off Saturday

Vladar was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports, indicating he will guard the home goal against Minnesota on Saturday.
Vladar made 24 stops in Monday's 5-2 win over Florida. He has a 1-1-0 record this season while turning aside 56 of 60 shots. Minnesota has accounted for 15 goals through five games to begin the 2025-26 campaign.

Flyers' Dan Vladar: Collects first win as Flyer
Rotowire
Vladar made 24 saves in Monday's 5-2 win over the Panthers.
Both Florida goals came on special teams, as Sam Reinhart scored a shortie on a third effort right before the end of the second period, and then Sam Bennett slotted home a power-play tally midway through the third. It was otherwise a strong showing between the pipes for Vladar, who is 1-1-0 through his first two starts for Philly while allowing four goals on 60 shots. Vladar figures to work in a timeshare with Samuel Ersson to begin the season, but if either netminder gets hot, they could stake a claim to the No. 1 job.

Flyers' Dan Vladar: Exits ice first
Rotowire
Vladar was the first goalie off the ice Monday, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports, indicating he'll guard the cage at home versus the Panthers.
Vladar will make his second start of the year after stopping 32 of 34 shots in the season opener versus the Panthers on Thursday. Through the first three games of the year, Vladar has been evenly splitting the crease with Samuel Ersson, a trend that could continue until one of the two can separate himself from the other.
