Most teams that started the 2024-25 season by alternating goalies have geared away to the hotter hand, but in their 11th game of the season, the Flames will keep that trend alive and turn to Vladar between the pipes for his sixth start. The 27-year-old Vladar has been serviceable, albeit unspectacular, recording a 2-2-1 record with a 3.18 GAA and .895 SV%. The Flames, riding a four-game losing skid (0-4-0), enter Friday's contest against the New Jersey Devils, winners of two straight, as +151 home underdogs.
