Dan Vladar - NHL News & Rumors

Searching for first win in over a month Vladar made 23 saves on 25 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to St. Louis.

Impact Vladar didn't have much of a chance on the Blues' game-winning goal, as Radek Faksa perfectly redirected Tyler Tucker's point shot into the top right corner of the net. Vladar is mired in a five-game losing streak - his last win was Dec. 10 against Nashville. The 27-year-old owns a 6-9-5 record, .889 save percentage and 3.03 GAA through 20 appearances in 2024-25. Dustin Wolf has firmly taken over as Calgary's No. 1 netminder after he and Vladar shared the workload for much of the early portion of the season.

Starting Tuesday Vladar will protect the road goal versus the Blues on Tuesday.

Impact Vladar will handle the second half of a back-to-back after Dustin Wolf was in goal for Monday's 5-2 win over the Blackhawks. This is the first of two games in a row between Calgary and St. Louis. Vladar has had mixed results on the road this year, going 3-4-3 with a 3.07 GAA and an .892 save percentage,

Game in LA postponed Vladar and his Calgary teammates will not play the Kings on Wednesday following the game's postponement due to wildfires in LA.

Impact Vladar was expected to get the starting nod after Dustin Wolf was in the crease against the Ducks on Wednesday in the first game of the back-to-back. Either netminder could get the nod when the Kings visit Calgary on Saturday - though Wolf seems to likely starter given his recent workload.

Poor performance Thursday Vladar stopped 21 of 25 shots in Thursday's 5-3 loss to Utah.

Impact Vladar lost his fourth straight outing (0-3-1), and he's given up 17 goals in that span. Allowing two goals in a span of 1:58 early in the third period did him in this time around. Vladar is 6-8-5 with a 3.08 GAA and an .888 save percentage over 19 starts this season. It'll likely be Dustin Wolf's turn between the pipes Saturday versus the Predators -- the Flames have alternated starts for their goalies since the holiday break.

Draws home start against Utah Vladar will operate as the starting goaltender during Thursday's home game against Utah, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

Impact Vladar will start for just the third time over the Flames' last eight games. He's been in a bit of a slump recently, going 0-2-1 with a 4.37 GAA and .857 save percentage across his last three outings. The 27-year-old will have a favorable opportunity to bounce back Thursday, as Utah is averaging 2.86 goals per game this year, which is the 11th-worst mark in the NHL.

JANUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

On wrong end of shutout Vladar allowed two goals on 36 shots in Sunday's 3-0 loss to the Golden Knights. The third goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Vladar put in a strong performance, but it wasn't enough as the Flames' offense went silent. He's won just two of his last six outings, giving up a total of 20 goals in that span. Vladar is down to 6-7-5 with a 3.02 GAA and an .890 save percentage through 18 starts. He continues to see equal time to Dustin Wolf, though the Flames have often rewarded wins with more starts rather than developing any sort of clear pattern for the division of work between the pipes. Both goalies played during this weekend's back-to-back, and with Wolf winning his last start, Vladar will likely be on the bench at home versus the Canucks on Tuesday.

Starting in Vegas Vladar will guard the road net Sunday against the Golden Knights, Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

Impact It'll be just the second start in six games for Vladar, who'd been dealing with a lower-body injury. The 27-year-old netminder is 6-6-5 on the season with an .886 save percentage and 3.08 GAA. Vladar will face a Vegas team that's averaging 3.57 goals per game, the fourth-best mark in the league.

Loses in overtime Vladar gave up three goals on 29 shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Senators.

Impact Vladar dealt with a minor lower-body injury that kept him out of action for one game. He returned as the backup Tuesday and then took the crease for this contest, turning in a decent effort. He's still allowed at least three goals in five of his last six outings, the lone exception being a shutout win over the Blue Jackets on Dec. 3. Vladar is down to 6-6-5 with a 3.07 GAA and an .886 save percentage over 17 appearances. The Flames have often alternated goalies when the wins aren't flowing, so don't be shocked if Dustin Wolf starts the team's last game before the holiday break, which is Saturday at home versus the Blackhawks.

Starting against Ottawa Vladar will serve as the starting netminder for Thursday's home game against the Senators, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

Impact Vladar recently dealt with a lower-body injury, but he was available as a backup for Tuesday's game against Boston. While he didn't enter that matchup, he'll be between the pipes for Thursday's contest. The 27-year-old has had mixed results over his last five appearances, posting a 2-2-1 record, 4.17 GAA and .837 save percentage.

DECEMBER 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Ready for backup role Vladar (lower body) will serve as the backup against Boston on Tuesday, per The Calgary Sun.

Impact Vladar won't be getting the starting nod, Dustin Wolf will be between the home pipes versus the Bruins, but at least Vladar is healthy enough if needed in a relief appearance. In his last five outings, the 27-year-old Czech has struggled for consistency, posting a 2-2-1 record and one shutout to go with a 4.17 GAA and .837 save percentage. It will likely be a season-long shuffle between Vladar and Wolf to earn starts, with the hot hand likely to keep the crease.

DECEMBER 16, 2024 • CALGARYHERALD.COM

Out Saturday Vladar (lower body) won't be available Saturday against Florida, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

Impact Vladar will miss at least one game after suffering an apparent lower-body injury in Thursday's loss to the Lightning. The 27-year-old netminder is 6-6-4 with an .885 save percentage this season. Dustin Wolf is expected to take over goaltending duties while Vladar is sidelined.

DECEMBER 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with lower-body injury The Flames announced Friday that Vladar is considered day-to-day due to a lower-body injury.

Impact Vladar had his worst start of the season Thursday against the Lightning, letting in eight goals on 26 shots (.692 save percentage) in an 8-3 loss. His injury may have contributed to his struggles, and it's unclear whether he'll be available for Saturday's home matchup against Florida. Dustin Wolf should see increased starts if Vladar is forced to miss time, while Devin Cooley was recalled from AHL Calgary on an emergency basis Friday.

DECEMBER 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Gets tagged for eight goals Vladar stopped 18 of 26 shots in Thursday's 8-3 loss to the Lightning.

Impact Vladar dropped to 6-6-4 on the year after another brutal start. He is 2-2-1 over his last five outings, but he's given up at least three goals in four of those games. The 27-year-old now has a 3.08 GAA and an .885 save percentage through 16 appearances. The drop in performance comes in a stretch where he has seen increased playing time, so it may benefit the Flames to give Dustin Wolf another look in the near future. The team's next game is another tough one Saturday at home versus the Panthers.
