Samuel Ersson News
Ersson (lower-body) did not practice on Monday after leaving the last game with an injury.

Ersson played only 7:36 time-on-ice, exiting in the first period of Saturday's 3-0 loss to the Boston Bruins with a lower-body injury. The Flyers' crease will likely be shared by Aleksei Kolosov and Ivan Fedotov in Ersson's absence. Ersson was riding a three-game winning streak before his injury, saving 74 of his last 80 shots faced (.925 SV%).

Ersson will start Saturday vs. the Bruins.

Ersson allowed one goal on 21 shots in the Flyers win over the Blues on Thursday. Ersson has won three in a row while posting a 2.00 GAA and .917 SV%. He draws a pretty solid matchup this afternoon against a Bruins team that has the seventh-fewest goals per game (2.64) this season. Still, the Flyers are +102 home underdogs.

Ersson will start on Thursday vs. St. Louis.

After losing six straight (0-5-1), the Flyers have won their last two contests with Ersson between the pipes, including a stellar 23-save shutout on Tuesday in a 2-0 win over the Boston Bruins. The 25-year-old Ersson has had an inconsistent start to the 2024-25 season, a byproduct of porous team play, posting a 3.00 GAA and .891 SV% in seven appearances (3-2-1). The Flyers enter the action on Thursday as -136 home favorites against a St. Louis Blues club pummeled 8-1 by the Ottawa Senators in their previous game.

Ersson will start on Tuesday in Boston.

After snapping a six-game losing skid on Saturday, the Flyers returned to the losing column on Sunday and have a lowly 2-6-1 record this season. Despite allowing five goals on 26 shots (.808 SV%), Ersson was between the pipes in Saturday's 7-5 victory over the Minnesota Wild and will return to the crease on Tuesday against the Boston Bruins. Allowing 4.4 goals per game, the Flyers rank in the bottom tier of the NHL and enter Tuesday's contest against the Bruins as +170 road underdogs.

Ersson will start on Saturday vs. Minnesota.

The Flyers, losers of six straight (0-5-1), will desperately try to return to the win column on Saturday against a red-hot Minnesota Wild club that is one of two teams without a regulation loss this season (5-0-2). Partially a byproduct of poor team play, the 25-year-old Ersson has posted a lackluster 3.22 GAA and .886 SV% through five appearances this season (1-2-1).

Ersson will start on Tuesday vs. Washington.

The Flyers, losers of four straight (0-3-1), will roll with Ersson between the pipes for the third time in four games to try and snap out of their losing skid. After winning his first outing, saving 24 of 26 shots (.923 SV%) in a 3-2 win over the Vancouver Canucks, Ersson has allowed eight goals on 68 shots since (.882 SV%). Ersson and the Flyers will be hard-pressed to end their losing ways on Tuesday against the Washington Capitals, averaging 4.3 goals per game during a three-game winning streak.

Ersson is expected to start on Saturday vs. Vancouver.

The Flyers will likely return to Ersson in their crease on Saturday against the Vancouver Canucks. The Flyers have earned three of a possible four points (1-0-1) when Ersson has been in net this season, providing adequate results for the team despite a less-than-stellar 2.86 GAA and .895 SV%.

Ersson will start on Tuesday in Edmonton.

The Flyers will turn to Ersson for his second start of the season when they visit the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday. The 24-year-old Ersson was excellent in the Flyers season opener, his only start of the season thus far, saving 24 of 26 shots (.923 SV%) in a 3-2 win over the Vancouver Canucks. Ersson started a career-high 49 games last season (23-19-7) and could rival those totals this season. The Flyers enter action on Tuesday as +176 road underdogs against an Oilers club that has only scored three times in their first three games (0-3-0).

Ersson will start the Flyers' season opener in Vancouver on Friday.

The 24-year-old will have to fend off newcomer Ivan Fedotov for playing time this season, but Ersson appears to have the slight edge heading into game one of 82. Ersson had some bright moments in 2023-24 but struggled as a whole, posting an .890 SV% and a 2.82 GAA across 51 appearances. He draws a brutal first assignment against the Canucks, who scored five goals on 24 shots in their overtime loss to the Flames on Wednesday. The Flyers enter action as +160 underdogs in Vancouver.
