Vladar (undisclosed) was put on injured reserve Monday, per Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia.
EDGE Analysis
Bobby Brink (upper body) was taken off IR in a corresponding move. Vladar last played Wednesday, so this move can be retroactive to that date. The 28-year-old goaltender has a 16-7-4 record, 2.46 GAA and .905 save percentage in 28 outings in 2025-26. Samuel Ersson and Aleksei Kolosov are competing for work while Vladar is on the shelf.

Vladar (undisclosed) isn't expected to play at home Saturday versus the Rangers, per Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia.
EDGE Analysis
Vladar also missed Wednesday's 6-3 loss to Pittsburgh because of the injury. He has a 16-7-4 record, 2.46 GAA and .905 save percentage in 28 appearances this season. Vladar is still regarded as day-to-day, so he might be an option Monday in Vegas. Until Vladar is ready to return, Samuel Ersson and Aleksei Kolosov will compete for starts.

Vladar (undisclosed) won't suit up Thursday versus the Penguins, Flyers Director of Broadcasting Brian Smith reports.
EDGE Analysis
Vladar will miss at least one game with the injury he sustained Wednesday against the Sabres. An update on Vladar's status hasn't been provided by the team yet, leaving his timeline to return in question, though Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports the issue is not expected to be a long-term concern. Samuel Ersson and Aleksei Kolosov will handle the goaltending duties until Vladar is able to return.

EDGE Analysis
Vladar's injury occurred at some point in the first period. He allowed two goals on five shots prior to his exit, and Samuel Ersson took over in goal. If Vladar misses additional time, expect Aleksei Kolosov to get called up from AHL Lehigh Valley.

Vladar will start Wednesday's road game against Buffalo, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Vladar has posted an 0-1-1 record over his last two starts, but he carried a three-game winning streak prior to that stretch.

Vladar made 21 saves on 25 shots in a 5-1 loss to the Lightning on Monday. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.
EDGE Analysis
Vladar played well, but his team was still shaken from Saturday's 7-2 loss to Bolts. It was his first regulation loss since Dec. 28, and he'd gone 3-0-1 in his next four contests. Vladar has been a very pleasant surprise for the Flyers. He's 16-7-4 with a 2.42 GAA and .907 save percentage in 27 starts this season, and he's already set a career mark for wins.

Vladar will get the starting nod at home versus Tampa Bay on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Vladar is undefeated in regulation over his last four contests, going 3-0-1 with nine goals allowed on 101 shots. Given his current pace, the 28-year-old should push for the 30-win threshold this year, which would be a huge improvement considering he has never reached the 20-win mark in his six-year NHL career.

Vladar made 21 saves in a 2-1 overtime loss to Toronto on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Vladar was nursing a shutout until the 14:04 mark of the third when former Philly pivot, Scott Laughton, beat him from distance while shorthanded. And he allowed the winner on an odd-man rush in OT. Vladar had rung up three straight wins prior to Thursday's game. He's 3-0-1 in his last four starts and 5-1-1 in his seven. Overall, Vladar continues to deliver the best numbers of his career. He is 16-6-4 with a 2.35 GAA and .910 save percentage.

Vladar is expected to defend the home cage versus Toronto on Thursday, Siobhan Nolan of The Hockey News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Vladar has won his last three games, giving the 28-year-old a 16-6-3 record with a 2.37 GAA and a .910 save percentage over 25 games this season. He has a firm grip on the No. 1 job in Philadelphia, pushing Samuel Ersson to a backup role. The Maple Leafs rank fifth in the NHL this season with 3.36 goals per game.

Vladar made 16 saves in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old netminder wasn't busy, but Vladar made sure the result was never in much doubt once Philly took the lead, and the only pucks that got by him came on Anaheim power plays. Vladar extended his win streak to three games with the performance, and he has just one regulation loss in his last nine outings, going 6-1-2 with a stellar 1.98 GAA and .916 save percentage.
