Vladar will start Wednesday's road game against Edmonton, Jackie Spiegel of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Vladar has had somewhat inconsistent results in recent weeks, going 1-1-2 with a 3.44 GAA and .833 save percentage across his last four appearances. He's been in a timeshare with Joseph Woll recently, as the two netminders have alternated starts over the past week.

Rotowire
Vladar allowed four goals on 26 shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Flames.
Vladar has allowed three or more goals in each of his last four games, going 1-1-2 in that span. The 29-year-old goalie wasn't able to protect any of the three leads the Flyers generated in this contest. Vladar is now 3-4-3 with a 3.27 GAA and an .880 save percentage across 10 starts on the year. Expect Joseph Woll to get the nod Monday in Vancouver to complete the back-to-back set.

Flyers' Dan Vladar: Between pipes Sunday
Rotowire
Vladar will guard the road goal against Calgary on Sunday, according to Jackie Spiegel of The Philadelphia Inquirer.
Vladar has lost two of his last three outings (1-1-1), allowing 10 goals on 58 shots. He has stopped 219 of 248 shots during his 3-4-2 start to the 2026-27 campaign. Calgary (7-9-1) is tied for 29th in the league this season with 2.47 goals per game.

Flyers' Dan Vladar: Loses to Wild
Rotowire
Vladar allowed three goals on 21 shots in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Wild. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
Vladar struggled early, giving up the three goals over the first 21 minutes. The 29-year-old stayed in the game and gave the Flyers a chance at a comeback, which came up just a little short. Vladar hadn't lost in regulation since Oct. 10 versus the Bruins. This was also the first time he's made consecutive starts this season. The Czech goalie has a 3-4-2 record with a 3.21 GAA and an .883 save percentage, but he has settled in at a more acceptable level since his awful first two weeks. The Flyers are heading out on the road next, beginning with Thursday's game versus the Rangers. Don't be surprise to see Vladar and Joseph Woll receiving roughly equal work during the five-game trip.

Flyers' Dan Vladar: Guarding home net
Rotowire
Vladar will defend the home crease in Tuesday's clash against the Wild, per Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia.
Vladar earned his third win across his last four tries in Sunday's 6-3 victory over the Mammoth. Overall, the 29-year-old backstop is up to a 3-3-2 record, a 3.23 GAA and an .885 save percentage across eight appearances this season. He's trending in the right direction after a slow start to the season, and he's slated to make his first set of back-to-back starts in Tuesday's clash. If he can impress in a tough outing against Minnesota, Vladar could begin to work his way back towards being the true No. 1 option over Joseph Woll.

Flyers' Dan Vladar: Holds on for win
Rotowire
Vladar stopped 19 of 22 shots in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Mammoth.
The Mammoth made a late push, but the Flyers had enough of a lead to fend it off. Vladar has won three of his last four outings, giving up nine goals on 91 shots in that span. The 29-year-old netminder is up to a 3-3-2 record with a 3.23 GAA and an .885 save percentage across eight starts on the year. Head coach Rick Tocchet has alternated starts for his goalies lately, lining up Joseph Woll to get a tough home start versus the Wild on Tuesday before Vladar handles a road-trip opener versus the Rangers on Thursday.

Flyers' Dan Vladar: Defending crease Sunday
Rotowire
Vladar will patrol the home crease against Utah on Sunday, per Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia.
Vladar is coming off an 11-save effort in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to Columbus. He has surrendered 23 goals on 205 shots during his 2-3-2 start to the 2026-27 campaign. Utah (9-5-0) sits seventh in the league with 3.64 goals per game this season.

Flyers' Dan Vladar: Can't recover from early team collapse
Rotowire
Vladar made 11 saves in a 4-3 overtime loss to Columbus on Tuesday.
What a bizarre game. Vladar was assaulted by a marauding Blue Jackets squad midway in the first period, and he surrendered three goals in a 2:46 span. And then the snoozefest began -- Columbus barely mustered an attack in the next two frames. Vladar has looked a lot sharper of late, and he hasn't lost in regulation in his last four starts (2-0-2; eight goals allowed). Joseph Woll continues to push Vladar, and that will invariably help his game. The Flyers still struggle with consistency, though, and we never know exactly which orange-and-black team is going to show up.

Flyers' Dan Vladar: Tending twine Tuesday
Rotowire
Vladar will patrol the home crease in Tuesday's clash against the Blue Jackets, per Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia.
Given the Flyers' recent alternation of opportunities between the pipes, Vladar was expected to get the start nod for Tuesday after Joseph Woll played Saturday. Vladar has started to turn his season around, as he's won each of his last two outings while allowing just one goal in each appearances. Overall, the 29-year-old backstop has a 2-3-1 record, a 3.15 GAA and a .900 save percentage across six appearances. He'll look to keep his momentum rolling into Tuesday's contest against the Blue Jackets, who rank 30th in the NHL with 2.33 goals per game. Vladar is a solid No. 2 goalie option in standard fantasy formats Tuesday.

Flyers' Dan Vladar: Sharp in Wednesday's win
Rotowire
Vladar stopped 27 of 28 shots in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Sabres.
Vladar picked up his second win in a row and stretched the Flyers' winning streak to three games. After an awful start to the year, it looks like things are getting back on track, at least in the defensive zone, for the Flyers. Vladar is 2-3-1 with a 3.15 GAA and a .900 save percentage over six starts and has mostly evenly shared the crease with Joseph Woll. If the alternating starts pattern continues, Woll would face the Ducks at home on Saturday while Vladar is lined up for a home start against the Blue Jackets on Tuesday in the first half of a back-to-back.

Flyers' Dan Vladar: In goal Wednesday
Rotowire
Vladar will get the starting nod on the road against Buffalo on Wednesday, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.
Vladar has been splitting the crease with Joseph Woll of late, featuring in four of the Flyers' last nine contests. During that stretch, the 29-year-old Vladar is 1-2-1 with a 2.73 GAA. If the trend continues, Vladar's next start would be at home against the Jackets on Tuesday, while Woll would go up against the Ducks on Saturday.

Flyers' Dan Vladar: Gets in win column Saturday
Rotowire
Vladar stopped 25 of 26 shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Senators.
Vladar was able to help the Flyers secure their first win of the campaign with a sharp performance in goal. He's looked better over his last two outings, giving up a total of three goals on 57 shots in those games. Overall, the 29-year-old netminder is at a 1-3-1 record with a 3.58 GAA and an .889 save percentage through five starts. Joseph Woll has played fairly well in his opportunities, so Vladar will have to do some work to regain a clear advantage for the No. 1 job between the pipes -- they've alternated over the last seven games. The Flyers will be in for a tough matchup when they host the Avalanche on Monday.

Vladar will start Saturday's home matchup against Ottawa.
Vladar played well in Tuesday's 3-2 shootout loss to Seattle, making 29 saves on 31 shots. Still, he is 0-3-1 and has permitted 17 goals on 136 shots in four appearances this season. Ottawa (6-2-0) is tied for 24th in the league this campaign with 2.63 goals per game.

Flyers' Dan Vladar: Another loss in abysmal season
Rotowire
Vladar made 29 saves through overtime and stopped three of five attempts in the shootout in a 3-2 loss to the Kraken on Tuesday. He also picked up an assist.
This guy can't buy a win. Vladar and the Flyers have crashed to earth after last season's improbable run to the playoffs. And since taking a 3-0 lead in the opening round against the Pens, the Flyers have lost 14 of 15 games, including a second-round sweep to the eventual Cup-winning Hurricanes. They have lost eight games to start the season, setting a franchise low, and it's the longest season-opening skid since the Sharks lost their first nine in 2024-25. Vladar has battled, but his 4.21 GAA and .875 save percentage will soon have him benched behind Joseph Woll, who is 0-2-2 with a 2.95 GAA and .914 save percentage. This team needs wins, and head coach Rick Tocchet's neck is on the line. He'll ride the first guy who wins.

Flyers' Dan Vladar: Guarding home crease
Rotowire
Vladar will draw the home start in Tuesday's clash against the Kraken, per Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia.
Vladar is looking to get back on track after a shaky start to the 2026-27 season, where he has an 0-3-0 record, a 5.08 GAA and an .857 save percentage across three appearances. While he was lights out in the 2025-26 season, a different story seems to be starting in the early stages of the new season if he can't quickly turn things around. Joseph Woll has already taken a chunk of the opportunities between the pipes for Philadelphia during Vladar's struggles, but he still holds a relatively high ceiling if he can quickly shake off the slow start. However, he'll have his work cut out for him Tuesday, as Seattle ranks third in the NHL with 4.33 goals per game to open the new season, making Vladar an untrustworthy option in fantasy Tuesday.

Flyers' Dan Vladar: Still winless after five goals allowed
Rotowire
Vladar made 27 saves in a 5-1 loss to Boston on Saturday.
Vladar hasn't done anything early in the year to dispel the notion that he should be benched. He has allowed 15 goals in three winless outings. Vladar's 5.08 GAA and .857 save percentage pale in comparison to Joseph Woll's 2.61 GAA and .927 save percentage; Woll is 0-1-2 thus far, but he should get more starts soon because he's been much better than Vladar.

Flyers' Dan Vladar: Starting in Boston
Rotowire
Vladar will defend the road net against the Bruins on Saturday.
Vladar has surrendered 10 goals on 73 shots in two regulation losses to begin the 2026-27 campaign. However, he was better in Monday's defeat against Tampa Bay. Boston has netted 15 goals in five games this season for a 3-2-0 start.

Flyers' Dan Vladar: Jolted by Bolts
Rotowire
Vladar stopped 32 of 35 shots in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Lightning, with Tampa Bay's final goal getting scored into an empty net.
The 29-year-old netminder allowed a goal in each period, while the Flyers' offense had little luck solving Andrei Vasilevskiy in the other crease. Vladar has had a bumpy start to the season as he attempts to follow up his breakout 2025-26 campaign, coughing up 10 goals on 73 shots in his first two starts.

Flyers' Dan Vladar: In goal Monday
Rotowire
Vladar will get the starting nod on the road against the Lightning on Monday.
Vladar has watched from the bench for the Flyers' last two contests after having given up seven goals on 38 shots (.816 save percentage) in the season opener against the Penguins. While he should remain the No. 1 option in Philly, Vladar likely can't afford to struggle again Monday, as Joseph Woll is primed to challenge for more opportunities.

Flyers' Dan Vladar: Surrenders seven goals in opener
Rotowire
Vladar allowed seven goals on 38 shots on net in Wednesday's Opening Night loss to the Penguins.
While Vladar struggled against the high volume of shot attempts that Pittsburgh generated, the 29-year-old backstop was dealing with an upper-body injury during his ramp-up to Opening Night. Regardless, his performance Wednesday was in stark contrast to what he accomplished in 2025-26, where he posted a 29-14-7 record, a 2.42 GAA and a .906 save percentage across 52 regular-season appearances. Between last year's numbers all being career highs and the Flyers bringing in Joseph Woll to take on some of the workload between the pipes, Vladar could be due for slight regression in 2026-27. However, his expected share of opportunities keeps him as a low-end No. 2 goalie option in fantasy for the time being.
