Dan Vladar Nearing Return from Lower-Body Injury

Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Dan Vladar (lower body) participated in Monday's morning skate, indicating he is nearing a return to the lineup. He will miss his sixth consecutive game when the Flyers host the Islanders, as the team opts to give the 28-year-old additional recovery time before activating him from injured reserve. This season, Vladar has posted a 16-7-4 record with a 2.46 GAA and a .905 save percentage across 28 appearances.
