The Philadelphia Flyers entered training camp with an open competition in the crease. Sam Ersson, who started 94 games over the last two seasons, was the presumed starter — or at least 1A in the tandem — with free-agent addition Daniel Vladar competing with him for starts.
Well, Vladar looked better than Ersson in the preseason, and that earned him the starting nod on opening night against the Panthers. Since then, Ersson and Vladar have alternated starts through the Flyers’ first five games.
Until now at least.
Dan Vladar getting second straight start
Rick Tocchet told the media on Monday morning that Vladar will once again start in net for Monday night’s game against the Seattle Kraken.
