He stepped into the role after <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/r\/rasktu01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tuukka Rask<\/a><\/strong> left the playoff bubble during the first-round series with the Carolina Hurricanes.<\/p>\n<p>Vladar played 22 games this season with the AHL Providence Bruins and went 14-7-1. He led the league with a .936 save percentage and 1.79 goals-against-average. The Czech goalie made a big step up after a 13-17-1 campaign in 2018-19. Boston originally drafted him in the third round, 75th overall of the 2015 NHL Draft.<\/p>\n<p>The first two years of the deal will be a two-way deal where he can go between Boston and Providence. His contract will convert to a one-way deal in the 2022-23 season. He was selected for the Czech Republic squad at the 2015 IIHF World Junior Championships, but he did not make an appearance.<\/p>\n<h2>What This Means for the Future<\/h2>\n<p>The future of the Bruins&#8217; goalie situation is murky at the moment. Rask has one more year left on his contract, but one wonders if he&#8217;ll return for the 2020-21 campaign. The Finnish goalie left to take care of a family situation and he&#8217;s 33 years old.<\/p>\n<p>Halak is on the books for the next season at $3.5 million, but he&#8217;s 35 years old. Boston may be thinking about their future in between the pipes, but Vladar seems to be a part of it. He&#8217;ll likely play in the AHL if Rask returns or Boston gets another goalie. The 25-year-old has yet to be called upon by the big club, but can likely step in if needed.<\/p>\n<div class=\"getty embed image\" style=\"background-color: #fff; display: inline-block; font-family: Roboto,sans-serif; color: #a7a7a7; font-size: 11px; width: 100%; max-width: 594px;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; text-align: left;\"><a style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.ca\/detail\/1266871752\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"overflow: hidden; position: relative; height: 0; padding: 66.66667% 0 0 0; width: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display: inline-block; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0;\" src=\"\/\/embed.gettyimages.com\/embed\/1266871752?et=ZdTygmucSWhTH76KhaSkNQ&amp;tld=ca&amp;sig=dDGK66tJc2fic6fln40tGXuhBVVmCRdDb609WnCTf80=&amp;caption=true&amp;ver=1\" width=\"594\" height=\"396\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Boston Bruins have re-signed goalie Dan Vladar to a three-year contract worth $2.25 million, or $750,000 per season.
