Vladar has not played or practiced since allowing eight goals on 26 shots (.692 SV%) in an 8-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning last week. The Flames' crease has been exclusively occupied by Dustin Wolf the last week but Vladar appears to be nearing a return.


Adding insult to injury, Vladar is day-to-day with a lower-body injury just one day after allowing eight goals on 26 shots (.692 SV%) in an 8-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning. If Vladar misses any time, Dustin Wolf will likely take the reins of the crease in Calgary.

The Flyers are riding a two-game winning streak and will turn to Ersson between the pipes on Saturday against the Minnesota Wild.
