Flyers Goalie Injury Mars Preseason Game
23 Sep
Summary
- Goaltender Dan Vladar sustained an apparent injury to his right arm during the first period.
- Vladar was hurt while trying to make a save as the Bruins scored the opening goal.
- The Flyers signed Vladar to a five-year, $27.5 million contract extension last season.
The Flyers' preseason game took a grim turn Tuesday evening when their star goaltender, Dan Vladar, sustained an apparent injury. The incident occurred in the first period at TD Garden, shortly after the Boston Bruins had taken a 1-0 lead. Vladar was seen favoring his right arm and stick hand as he skated towards the bench. Reports indicate the injury happened as he attempted to stop a rebound and lost his stick. Aleksei Kolosov has since taken over in goal for the Flyers.
The club cannot afford to lose Vladar, especially with the regular season commencing next Wednesday. Vladar signed a significant five-year, $27.5 million contract extension last season following an impressive debut year with the Flyers. His current status is uncertain, raising apprehension among fans and team management about the upcoming season.
