Last Season
Thirty-nine appearances, 15-16-7, a 3.34 goals-against average and a .8984 save percentage with two shutouts. His career figure across 117 games is .9062.
The Physical Game
Six foot three, 212, and technically sound when healthy — square, patient, good depth management. He is not spectacular and does not need to be behind a club that concedes low-danger volume.
The durability has been the story of his career: he has never played fifty games in a season and has lost long stretches to soft-tissue injuries.
The Mental Game
He has had a genuinely difficult two years away from the rink, and none of that belongs in a scouting report beyond noting that fifteen wins in thirty-nine appearances is not a fair measure of anybody.
The Intangibles
The numbers are hard to reconcile. Philadelphia finished third in the National Hockey League in even-strength expected goals against and sixth on the penalty kill, and Woll posted a 3.34 goals-against average behind it.
Vladar, in the same net, stopped .9057. That is a seven-thousandth gap in save percentage and nearly a full goal per game in average, which points at the games he played rather than the way he played them.
The club’s goaltending came in twelve goals worse than the chances faced, and nearly all of it is here.
He is 27 with a career .9062 that says he is better than this. On a roster this well structured defensively, a backup at .898 is an expensive luxury.
