Vladar will miss the rest of the season as he will have hip surgery next week, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vladar struggled in his final two starts of the season, allowing 13 goals on 75 shots in losses to Colorado and Carolina. He finishes the season with an 8-9-2 mark. Vladar has one more season remaining on his contract, but he could be the odd man out if Jacob Markstrom returns, as Dustin Wolf is seemingly ready to play at the NHL level.

Vladar allowed six goals on 35 shots in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Vladar played the first two periods, but he was relieved by Dustin Wolf after a five-goal middle frame. With 13 goals allowed on 75 shots over his last two outings, Vladar is seeing firsthand how diminished the Flames' defense is following the trade deadline. The 26-year-old dropped to 8-9-2 with a 3.61 GAA and an .882 save percentage through 20 appearances this season. If Jacob Markstrom (lower body) is out for a while, Vladar would likely share the crease with Dustin Wolf, who stopped all three shots he faced in the third period Tuesday.

Vladar will protect the home goal versus the Avalanche on Tuesday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vladar will get the start after Jacob Markstrom (lower body) was ruled out for Tuesday. Vladar allowed seven goals on 40 shots in a loss to the Hurricanes on Saturday, and he'll have another tough challenge on hand against an Avalanche team that has scored 25 goals over the last six games.

Vladar allowed seven goals on 42 shots in Sunday's 7-2 loss to the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Vladar didn't stand much of a chance Sunday as he gave up a season-high seven goals, including four in the second period. It was the first start since Feb. 24 for Vladar, who falls to 8-8-2 with an .885 save percentage and 3.42 GAA in limited action behind Jacob Markstrom this season. The Flames will look to rebound in their next outing Tuesday at home versus the Avalanche.

Vladar will guard the road goal Sunday against the Hurricanes, per Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer.

EDGE Analysis

During his last outing, Vladar stopped 32 shots in a 6-3 win over Edmonton on Feb. 24. He has posted a record of 8-7-2 this season with a 3.21 GAA and an .890 save percentage through 18 games played. Carolina is tied for 11th in the league with 3.30 goals per contest this campaign.

Vladar stopped 32 of 35 shots in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

Vladar picked up his first win since Jan. 16 in a big showing against the Flames' biggest rivals. The 26-year-old gave up a pair of goals to Zach Hyman and one more tally to Mattias Janmark in garbage time. The win lifted Vladar to 8-7-2 with a 3.21 GAA and an .890 save percentage through 18 appearances. Jacob Markstrom has been pretty good lately, but he wasn't 100 percent Saturday and he's historically struggled versus the Oilers, which makes head coach Ryan Huska's decision to go with Vladar look wise. The Flames host the Kings on Tuesday.

Vladar will guard the road net Saturday against the Oilers, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

It'll be the first start since Jan. 20 for Vladar, who's 7-7-2 with an .888 save percentage and 3.22 GAA while backing up Jacob Markstrom this season. Vladar will have a tough task against an Edmonton team averaging 3.56 goals per game.

Vladar stopped eight of nine shots in relief of Jacob Markstrom in Saturday's 5-0 loss to the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

Vladar played 33:19 in the contest after Markstrom was pulled for giving up four goals on 12 shots. The 26-year-old Vladar was on injured reserve for a week due to a lower-body injury. It's unclear if he'll get much immediate playing time with Markstrom entrenched as the Flames' No. 1 goalie, but with trade rumors swirling, Vladar's workload could increase if Markstrom is dealt. For the season, Vladar is 7-7-2 with a 3.22 GAA and an .888 save percentage, and he'd likely have to share the crease with Dustin Wolf in a post-Markstrom Flames lineup.

Vladar (lower body) was activated off injured reserve Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Vladar has missed the last eight games with his lower-body issue, but he could be back between the pipes as soon as Saturday versus Detroit or Monday against the Jets. Jacob Markstrom's name has begun to circle in trade rumors, and if he's dealt by the March 8 trade deadline, Vladar should see a major uptick in playing time down the stretch. Vladar's gone 7-7-2 while posting a 3.27 GAA and an .888 save percentage through 16 appearances this season.

Vladar was placed on injured reserve with a lower-body injury Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Vladar hasn't played since before the All-Star break with his last outing coming Jan. 20 versus Edmonton. As such, it's not immediately clear when the 26-year-old netminder suffered his lower-body injury. The Czech was at least fit enough to serve as the backup behind Jacob Markstrom on Thursday against New Jersey but now the team has brought Dustin Wolf up from the minors to fill that role.
