Starting Thursday Vladar will be between the home pipes versus Carolina on Thursday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
Impact Vladar is off to a nice start as he is 2-0-1 this season. He has given up eight goals on 73 shots (.890 save percentage), but has been fortunate as the Flames are averaging 4.00 per game. The Hurricanes have found the back of the 15 times in five games in 2024-25.

Loses in overtime Saturday Vladar stopped 21 of 23 shots in Saturday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Kraken.
Impact Vladar was defeated for the first time this season, but he still put in a strong effort. Chandler Stephenson scored on the power play in the second period and Jordan Eberle tallied in overtime for Seattle. Vladar is 2-0-1 with eight goals allowed on 73 shots through three appearances, with the Flames' defense doing a good job of making things easier on him. He's alternated starts with Dustin Wolf, and should that continue, Vladar's next game would be Thursday versus the Hurricanes.

Starting in Seattle Vladar will defend the road goal in Seattle on Saturday, according to the SoundofHockey.com.
Impact Vladar has won both his starts as the Flames are off to an unexpected 4-0-0 start. Vladar was outstanding Sunday against Edmonton, stopping 25 shots in a 4-1 win. The Kraken have scored 20 goals in five games, including pumping six goals against the Flyers on Thursday.
OCTOBER 19 • ROTOWIRE
Wins versus Oilers Vladar allowed one goal on 26 shots in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Oilers.
Impact For a third straight game, the Flames' offense impressed while the Oilers struggled, which was a recipe for success for Vladar. It was also a far more encouraging showing than his first start of the year, in which he gave up five goals on 24 shots in an overtime win over the Canucks. It's unclear if the Flames view Vladar as the starter or if they're intent to have him alternate starts with Dustin Wolf. They have a fairly easy matchup next, as they host the Blackhawks on Tuesday.

In net Sunday Vladar will guard the road crease against Edmonton on Sunday, according to Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
Impact Vladar will make his second start of the 2024-25 campaign -- he was leaky in Wednesday's win against Vancouver, allowing five goals on 25 shots. The 32-year-old will face an Edmonton club that has scored just two goals through two games. Vladar is 38-23-10 with a 3.10 GAA and an .892 save percentage across 76 regular-season appearances throughout his five-year NHL career.
OCTOBER 13 • ROTOWIRE
Shaky in season-opening win Vladar saved 20 of 25 shots in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Canucks.
Impact Vladar gave up four goals in the first period before settling in. He allowed a tally to J.T. Miller late in the third period, which forced overtime, but the Flames were able to get the win on Connor Zary's goal in the extra session. This was Vladar's first regular-season action since March 12, as he recovered from hip surgery over the offseason. This performance wasn't an encouraging first attempt to stake his claim to the No. 1 job, so expect Vladar and Dustin Wolf to battle for playing time. Both should make starts this weekend, as the Flames host the Flyers on Saturday before visiting the Oilers on Sunday.

Between pipes Wednesday Vladar will tend the twine on the road against Vancouver on Wednesday, Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
Impact Vladar has never reached the 30-game mark in his three seasons with the Flames, so fantasy players can expect him to get significantly more opportunities this year. Still, the Czech backstop certainly won't be handed the No. 1 job and will have to stave off youngster Dustin Wolf, who is expected to challenge for starts after a phenomenal season with AHL Calgary in 2023-24.

Yields three goals in loss Vladar allowed three goals on 17 shots in Friday's 3-2 preseason loss to the Jets.
Impact 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 a little worse than Devin Cooley (five goals on 70 shots). Vladar is likely to begin 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 interest.

Impact Vladar made 15 saves on 17 shots in two periods of work during Saturday's 4-2 exhibition win over Vancouver. If he fends off Dustin Wolf and Devin Cooley, Vladar could be Calgary's starter versus the Canucks for Opening Night on Oct. 9.

Impact Vladar struggled in his final two starts of the season, allowing 13 goals on 75 shots in losses to Colorado and Carolina. He finishes the season with an 8-9-2 mark. Vladar has one more season remaining on his contract, but he could be the odd-man out if Jacob Markstrom returns, as Dustin Wolf is ready to play at the NHL level.
