Overview
- Head coach Rick Tocchet confirmed Vladar will come off injured reserve and start against the Blue Jackets.
- The Flyers reassigned waiver-exempt Aleksei Kolosov to AHL Lehigh Valley to open the roster spot.
- Vladar is 16-7-4 with a 2.46 GAA, a .905 save percentage, and 8.5 goals saved above expected this season, ranking 18th per MoneyPuck.
- He missed six games after exiting the Jan. 14 contest in Buffalo with an undisclosed injury and returned to practice earlier this week.
- With backups struggling, usage is expected to be managed around the schedule, with Samuel Ersson likely to start Thursday in Boston and a potential split before the Olympic break.
