Dan Vladar - NHL News & Rumors

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.

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.

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 • 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 • 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.

Facing Lightning Vladar will defend the home crease versus Tampa Bay on Thursday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

Impact Vladar will make his fifth start in the last six games as Dustin Wolf seems to be second on the depth chart of late. Vladar is 2-0-1 in his last three games, stopping seven of 60 shots. He has a tough matchup versus Tampa Bay as the Lightning are second in NHL scoring, averaging 3.81 goals per game in 2024-25.

Earns win over Nashville Vladar stopped 17 of 20 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Predators.

Impact Vladar has given up three or more goals in three of his last four starts, and even though he's gone 2-1-1 with a 3.22 GAA and an .874 save percentage in that span, those numbers are inflated by the 16-save shutout he recorded against the Blue Jackets on Dec. 3. He's failed to record a save percentage above .860 in the other three games during that span, so his numbers haven't been promising of late.

Stumbles to overtime loss Vladar allowed four goals on 24 shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Blues.

Impact Vladar gave up a pair of goals in the first period, and the Flames were never able to give him a lead to protect. The 27-year-old has now lost three of his last five outings (2-1-2), allowing 15 goals in that span, though one of those wins was a shutout over the Blue Jackets on Tuesday. For the season, he's at a 5-5-4 record with a 2.74 GAA and a .900 save percentage over 14 games. Don't be surprised to see Dustin Wolf get the starting nod in a tough road matchup Sunday versus the Stars.

Impact Vladar bounced back from his worst start of the season, a six-goal meltdown in Pittsburgh on Saturday, to earn his second shutout of the campaign. The 27-year-old netminder has done a decent job in a timeshare role this season. He's at 5-5-3 with a 2.65 GAA and a .904 save percentage through 13 appearances. Vladar's outing Tuesday marked just the second time he's started consecutive games all season, though he may get a third straight nod given the win. The Flames host the Blues on Thursday.

Starting versus Columbus Vladar will be in the blue paint for Tuesday's home contest against the Blue Jackets, according to Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.

Impact Vladar had his worst performance of the campaign Saturday -- he conceded six goals on 43 shots in a 6-2 loss to Pittsburgh. The 27-year-old has just one win over a six-game span since Nov. 3. The Blue Jackets have been productive on offense with 3.61 goals per game through 23 outings, which is the sixth-best mark in the NHL.

Pummeled by Pens Vladar turned aside 37 shots in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Penguins.

Impact Three of the season-high six goals against Vladar came on Pittsburgh power plays, and the Calgary offense didn't wake up until the third period. The 27-year-old netminder has only one win in his last six starts, going 1-3-2 over that stretch with a 3.09 GAA and .891 save percentage, but for now Vladar still appears to be in a timeshare with Dustin Wolf.
