Providence Bruins goaltender Dan Vladar got the start in back-to-back games for the first time in his career last weekend.
The reason: head coach Jay Leach wanted to see what Vladar’s potential looked like with two starts in as many days against the Hartford Wolfpack.
The results: a 25-save performance in a 3-2 overtime road win on Saturday followed by a 24-save showing in a 4-1 loss at home 24 hours later. A mixed bag to say the least.
“We didn’t play the first period really well, but afterwards we had our chances and just didn’t capitalize,” Vladar said after Sunday’s loss.
