Dan Vladar's story
Born in Prague and brought up through the HC Kladno system, Daniel Vladař made his first senior appearances in the Czech second tier during 2014–15. That early exposure led to his selection by the Boston Bruins at 75th overall in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft.
Instead of staying in Europe he crossed to North America for 2015–16, joining the Chicago Steel of the USHL. He turned pro with the Providence Bruins in 2016–17 and then split several seasons between Providence and Boston’s ECHL affiliate, the Atlanta Gladiators. His first pro year was disrupted by two concussions and a later training setback when he broke both wrists, delaying his progress.
When the NHL resumed in 2020 he was on Boston’s Return to Play roster and was bumped up to backup during the playoffs after Tuukka Rask withdrew. The Bruins signed him to a three-year extension on 24 August 2020 and he logged his NHL debut two days later, entering in relief against the Tampa Bay Lightning. He began 2020–21 on loan with Dynamo Pardubice for six games, then earned his first regular-season start on 16 March 2021 versus the Pittsburgh Penguins, stopping 34 shots in a 2–1 win.
On 28 July 2021 Boston traded Vladař to the Calgary Flames for a 2022 third-round pick. After four seasons in Calgary he left as a free agent and signed a two-year, $6.7 million deal with the Philadelphia Flyers on 1 July 2025; on 1 July 2026 he agreed to a five-year, $27.5 million extension with Philadelphia.
Internationally he has two 2014 silver medals with Czech youth teams, serving as the backup at both the IIHF U18s and the Ivan Hlinka tournament (playing 16:51 in his lone appearance at the latter). He also represented Czechia at the 2026 Winter Olympics and recorded a win in a preliminary game against France. Vladař’s profile is that of a goaltender who developed steadily through the minors, produced top numbers in the AHL in 2019–20 and gradually translated that consistency into NHL opportunities.
