During the 2015-16 season, Daniel Vladar played for the Chicago Steel of the USHL and posted a very respectable 2.31 goals-against average and a .920 save percentage — both good for fifth in the USHL — along with three shutouts in 30 games played. Despite his impressive individual statistics, Vladar was only able to compile a record of 12-12-4, but that’s more of an indication of the team in front of him as opposed to the man in net.
