Vladar accompanied Team Czechia at the Olympics but should be well-rested, as he primarily served as Lukas Dostal's backup. The 28-year-old Vladar will return to the crease on Wednesday against the Washington Capitals, looking to help his team in its late-season playoff push. Vladar headed into the Olympic break with a solid 2.29 GAA and .908 SV% in his last three games (1-0-2). The Flyers enter Wednesday's contest as +130 road underdogs against a Capitals team that entered the Olympic break on a 4-1-0 run.

The Flyers enter Wednesday's contest as +130 road underdogs against a Capitals team that entered the Olympic break on a 4-1-0 run.

Vladar has had a strong season for the Flyers, but it's a bit of a surprise to see him as Czechia's No.2 option ahead of Karel Vejmelka, who is tied for the NHL lead in wins. It is likely due to his strong performance at the World Championships last year, where he was 3-0-0 with a 1.09 GAA, .951 SV% and one shutout. It should be a relatively easy game for Vladar, as Czechia are massive favourites over France.

The struggling Flyers ended a four-game losing streak on Tuesday courtesy of a solid 26-save performance (.929 SV%) by Vladar in a 4-2 win over the Washington Capitals. The 28-year-old Czech goalie will return to the crease on Thursday against the Ottawa Senators, looking to improve on the 2.74 GAA and .885 SV% he has since the beginning of January (3-2-2). The Flyers enter Thursday's contest as +124 home underdogs against a Senators team that has won four of their last five games (4-1-0).

Vladar has struggled after returning from a lower-body injury that sidelined him for two weeks, posting a 3.00 GAA and .877 SV% in three appearances (0-1-1). Dating back to before his injury, Vladar has occupied the crease in six straight Flyers losses (0-4-2). The Flyers hope to return to the win column on Tuesday, entering action as -128 home favourites against a Washington Capitals team that extended its winning streak to three games last night with a 4-1 win over the New York Islanders despite being without Logan Thompson (upper body) and Charlie Lindgren (lower body).


Vladar has not played since suffering a lower-body injury two weeks ago and will return to the crease on Wednesday against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Before his injury, the 28-year-old Czech goalie was arguably Philadelphia's most valuable player, posting a 2.23 GAA and .909 SV% in his previous 11 games (6-2-3). The Flyers went 2-4-1 without Vladar and enter Wednesday's contest as slight +106 road underdogs against a Blue Jackets team that has won six of their last seven games (6-1-0).

Vladar had a chance to return on Friday vs. Colorado but will instead push his expected return to Monday when Philadelphia takes on the Islanders. The 28-year-old has missed Philadelphia's last four games and will make a welcome return to their crease with his 16-7-4 record, 2.46 GAA and .905 SV%.

The Flyers have been outscored 13-8 in three games since Vladar's injury (1-2-0), and will be eager to welcome him back to the crease, possibly as early as Friday against the Colorado Avalanche. The 28-year-old Vladar has arguably been Philadelphia's most valuable player this season, posting a 2.46 GAA and .905 SV% in 28 games (16-7-4).

Vladar was off to a rough start in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres, allowing two goals on five shots, but did not get the chance to redeem himself, leaving the game towards the end of the first period because of an undisclosed injury. The 28-year-old Vladar has arguably been Philadelphia's most valuable player this season, posting a 2.46 GAA and .905 SV% in 28 games (16-7-4).

The 28-year-old Vladar has arguably been Philadelphia's most valuable player this season, posting a 2.46 GAA and .905 SV% in 28 games (16-7-4). Samuel Ersson has struggled this season and carried that into a 6-3 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday. Luckily for the Flyers, Vladar's injury does not appear to be a long-term concern, so they shouldn't have to rely on Ersson for an extended period.

Vladar has a 2.42 GAA and .907 SV% in 27 games this season (16-7-4). The Flyers enter Wednesday's contest as +123 home underdogs against a Sabres team that is 13-2-0 in their last 15 games, but is 3-2-0 in their last five.

With Samuel Ersson continuing to struggle, Vladar continues to solidify his role as Philadelphia's go-to option between the pipes. The 28-year-old Vladar was solid in his last outing, but did not receive ample goal support, saving 21 of 23 shots (.913 SV%) in a 2-1 overtime loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs. Vladar has a 2.35 GAA and .910 SV% in 26 games this season (16-6-4). The Flyers enter Monday's contest as +136 home underdogs against a Tampa Bay Lightning team on an impressive eight-game winning streak.

The Flyers have made it clear that Vladar is their go-to option between the pipes and will start again on Thursday against the Toronto Maple Leafs. The 28-year-old Czech goalie has allowed three or fewer goals in nine straight games (6-1-2), posting a solid .916 SV%. He has a 2.37 GAA and .910 SV% through 25 games this season (16-6-3)). The Flyers enter Thursday's contest as -113 home favorites against a Maple Leafs team with points in seven straight games (5-0-2).

After recording a disappointing sub-.900 SV% in each of his previous three seasons, Vladar's impressive 2025-26 season continued in his previous outing, with a solid 22-save performance (.917 SV%) in a 5-2 win over the Edmonton Oilers. The 28-year-old Czech goalie has a stellar 2.39 GAA and .910 SV% in 24 games this season (15-6-3). The Flyers enter the action on Tuesday as -142 home favorites against a plummeting Ducks team that lost 7-4 to the Washington Capitals last night, extending their losing streak to six games (0-5-1).
