Flyers G Dan Vladar Nursing Upper-Body Injury
The Flyers are weighing internal options, waiver claims and an early trade after Dan Vladar left a preseason game with a right arm and shoulder injury.
- Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Dan Vladar sustained an upper-body injury Tuesday during a 5-1 preseason loss to the Boston Bruins, departing in the first period after colliding with Bruins forward Tanner Jeannot.
- Serving as the Flyers' most valuable player last year, Vladar led the team through a wild stretch run into an unlikely playoff berth, posting a.922 save percentage through 10 postseason games.
- Head coach Rick Tocchet classified the injury as "day-to-day" on Wednesday, noting the team "dodged a bullet" regarding severity, though he could not confirm availability for the September 30 season opener.
- Backup goaltender Joseph Woll, acquired from the Toronto Maple Leafs this summer, is prepared to step in, with Tocchet expressing confidence in his ability to stabilize the crease.
- Potential roster adjustments through waiver wire claims or trades remain an option if recovery extends beyond the initial "day-to-day" timeline, though the Flyers feel comfortable with current depth.

3 ways the Flyers could replace Dan Vladar if he misses significant time
The Philadelphia Flyers were dealt a significant blow on Tuesday night. Maybe the worst news they could possibly get. Goaltender Dan Vladar suffered an injury and it’s unknown just how long he might be out for. During what seemed like an everyday collision between opposing player and Flyers goalie, Vladar suffered some sort of potential upper-body injury and had to leave the game. He did not return, of course, and now the Flyers are facing a rea…
After concerns when he had to be substituted in the first period of Tuesday's NHL preseason game against Boston due to injury, more positive and reassuring news is now coming from Philadelphia. Czech goaltender Daniel Vladař should not be out of action for long and there is even a possibility that he will make it to the Flyers' opening game against Pittsburgh on September 30th.
