Flyers Dominate Devils in Final Road Game—What This Win Means for Their Playoff Hopes
Advertisement
New Jersey pushed hard consistently—and pushed even harder once the Flyers built a lead—but Vladar did the thing great goalies do: he shut the door exactly when his team needed a stop to stabilize the game. His saves weren’t quiet, either. They were sprawling, edge-of-the-crease, full-extension moments that sucked the air out of the Devils’ forecheck and kept the Flyers from drowning under New Jersey’s speed and transition pressure.
In a building where no opponent had earned a regulation win this season, Vladar gave the Flyers a backbone. And on the second night of a back-to-back, that’s the difference between hanging on and actually finishing the job.
