Put Vladar in, and what's the worst that can happen? They lose still lose in 5? Give Vegas credit, they are quick to make adjustments when things aren't working, and won't let stubborness drive their decisions.

To be fair to Vegas, they are used to playing with 3rd, and even 5th string goalies. I have never seen an organization eat through so many goalies. They were trying to plug that hole with older, and thereby more injury prone, players but still....Vegas going with a 3rd string goalie is something they are 100% prepared for and part of the plan.
