Philadelphia Flyers News
Petersen has been placed on waivers by the Philadelphia Flyers on Wednesday.

Petersen has struggled in limited action with the Flyers this season, notably allowing seven goals on 32 shots (.781 SV%) in his last outing, a 7-6 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday. In five appearances with the Flyers, Petersen has an ugly 3.90 GAA, .864 SV%, and 2-2-0 record. The Flyers will continue to rely on Samuel Ersson down the stretch.

Ersson will start on Tuesday vs. Tampa Bay.

Ersson will return to the Flyers' crease on Thursday vs. Tampa Bay after giving Cal Petersen the start in an ugly 7-6 loss over the weekend. The 24-year-old 2nd-year netminder has done an admirable job holding down the Flyers' starting job after getting the role of starter unexpectedly and has a 16-11-4 record to show for it with a 2.56 GAA and .900 SV%. He will host the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday, who have won their last two games and are seventh in the NHL in goals per game (3.40).
