Flyers Turn to G Dan Vladar in Bid to Finish Off Penguins

Rick Tocchet said Vladar has a .946 save percentage in the series as Philadelphia tries to complete a sweep and advance.

  • On Saturday, the Flyers will try to close out the Pittsburgh Penguins in their Eastern Conference first-round playoff series at Xfinity Mobile Arena, though goalie Dan VladaY remains a game-time decision after a maintenance day Friday.
  • VladaY sustained an apparent injury during Game 3 when Penguins forward Bryan Rust collided with his hand, requiring the maintenance day Friday as confirmed by coach Rick Tocchet.
  • Boasting a 1.33 GAA and.946 save percentage in the postseason, VladaY has been the Flyers' mainstay since signing on July 1, recording 29 wins during the regular season.
  • If VladaY cannot play, Sam Ersson will make his Stanley Cup playoff debut, with coach Tocchet expressing confidence Ersson has been "locked in" since the Olympic break.
  • A victory would mark the organization's first series clincher since the 2020 bubble, with the Flyers currently holding a three games to none lead in the series.
