Vladar allowed two goals on 30 shots in Friday's 5-2 win over the Kraken.
Vladar's winning streak is up to five starts, and he hasn't lost in regulation since Nov. 26. The first goal was on a deflected shot and the second came on a big rebound, so it's tough to fault Vladar much for either one. The 25-year-old improved to 11-4-4 with a 2.77 GAA and a .904 save percentage through 19 outings. The Flames begin a four-game road trip after the All-Star break, starting with the Rangers on Feb. 6.

Flames' Dan Vladar: Win streak at four
Rotowire
Vladar stopped 22 of 25 shots in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.
Vladar was outplayed by Joonas Korpisalo, but the Flames offense did just enough to get the win. This was Vladar's fourth straight victory, and he's started four of the last six contests. It's not the first time he's pushed Jacob Markstrom for playing time -- with the Flames right on the playoff bubble, they'll have to ride the hot hand. Vladar is up to 10-4-4 with a 2.75 GAA and a .904 save percentage through 18 appearances. The Flames' last two games before the bye week and All-Star break are in a back-to-back -- they host the Blackhawks on Thursday and visit the Kraken on Friday.

Flames' Dan Vladar: Wins third straight start
Rotowire
Vladar turned aside 21 shots in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Lightning.
Calgary dominated play for the most part and out-shot Tampa Bay 39-24, giving Vladar all the support he needed as he won his third straight start and ninth game of the season. The 25-year-old netminder actually hasn't taken a regulation loss since late November, going 8-0-3 over that stretch, but his .901 save percentage during that time indicates how much that record owes to the Flames' offense.

Rotowire
Vladar will patrol the home crease during Saturday's matchup with the Lightning, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
Vladar wasn't great in his last start last Saturday against the Stars, surrendering five goals on 33 shots, but he still came away with a win thanks to fantastic goal support from his teammates. He'll try to extend his winning streak to three games in a home matchup with a Tampa Bay team that's 12-10-0 on the road this year.

Flames' Dan Vladar: Survives late rally for win
Rotowire
Vladar stopped 29 of 33 shots in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Stars.
The fifth tally on Vladar's ledger was awarded to Joe Pavelski after the goalie knocked the net off its moorings, resulting in a goal but no official shot on net. That play kickstarted a third-period Stars rally, but Dallas couldn't erase a 6-2 deficit. His late fade aside, the 25-year-old continues to provide Calgary with solid netminding as the backup to Jacob Markstrom. Vladar hasn't lost in regulation since late November, going 7-0-3 over his last 10 starts, and on the season he has a 2.73 GAA and .907 save percentage.

Rotowire
Vladar stopped 25 of 26 shots, leading the Flames to a 4-1 victory over the Blues on Thursday.

Flames' Dan Vladar: Takes another overtime loss
Rotowire
Vladar allowed four goals on 32 shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Kings.
It'd been nearly two weeks between starts for Vladar. That last outing was an overtime loss to the Maple Leafs, and he ended up with a similar fate Thursday. He's allowed nine goals in his last two outings while slipping to 5-4-3 with a 2.90 GAA and a .903 save percentage. He had a brief run as the Flames' top goalie, but it appears Jacob Markstrom has righted the ship enough to retake that role. It'll likely be Markstrom starting Friday in Anaheim.

Flames' Dan Vladar: Falls in overtime
Rotowire
Vladar made 29 saves Saturday in a 5-4 overtime loss to Toronto.
It was a barnburner of a game. It was 2-2 after one period and 3-3 after two. Then Michael Bunting forced overtime when he put in a rebound off the end boards at 6:10 of the third. Vladar didn't have much of a chance on Mitch Marner's OT winner -- the winger wired a shot off a Flames' defender that went right back on his stick, and he popped it home. Vladar had his four-game winning streak snapped with the loss.

Flames' Dan Vladar: Wins third straight start
Rotowire
Vladar stopped 18 of 20 shots in Monday's 3-2 win over the Coyotes.
Both goals were on well-placed shots rather than anything Vladar could have done something about. He's given up exactly two goals in each game of his winning streak, which is up to three after Monday's victory. The 25-year-old improved to 4-4-1 with a 2.54 GAA and a .914 save percentage through nine appearances. Vladar is the hot hand in the Calgary crease currently, which has led to him poaching playing time off of Jacob Markstrom. The Flames wrap up their home stand Wednesday versus the Wild.
