Philadelphia Flyers
Dan Vladar (upper body) and Christian Dvorak (lower body) are day to day and did not play for the Flyers in a 5-4 shootout loss at the New York Rangers on Saturday. Vladar, a goalie, most recently played Tuesday in a 4-1 win at the Montreal Canadiens; he is 12-5-3 wirh a 2.41 goals-against average and .910 save percentage in 20 games this season. Philadelphia recalled goalie Aleksei Kolosov from Lehigh Valley of the AHL before the game Saturday. Dvorak, a forward, played 18:37 in a 5-3 loss at the Buffalo Sabres on Thursday. He has 23 points (seven goals, 16 assists) in 33 games. “Nothing too serious; he should be back we hope by Monday,” Flyers general manager Daniel Briere said Saturday. “We don’t know for sure, but that’s what we’re hoping for. Same thing with Dvorak — just needs a few days. He won’t be able to dress today, but we don’t expect him to miss hopefully no more than today. But according to our trainers, it won’t be long term.”
