Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Holds on for overtime win
Ersson stopped 21 of 25 shots in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.
The Flyers rallied from three deficits in the third period, and then Owen Tippett completed the comeback at 3:30 of overtime. This was Ersson's second win in five starts since he came back from a lower-body injury. The 25-year-old has allowed 19 goals in that span despite facing no more than 25 shots in any of those games. Ersson is up to 7-5-2 with a 3.09 GAA and an .881 save percentage through 16 appearances. He's still atop the depth chart in goal, though his poor recent performance should allow Aleksei Kolosov to see a decent share of playing time in the backup role. Ivan Fedotov also remains on the NHL roster, making the Flyers' crease crowded, and one to avoid in fantasy.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Tending twine Saturday
Ersson will be between the home pipes versus Columbus on Saturday, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Ersson has struggled since returning from a lower-body injury that cost him 11 games, going 1-3-0 and allowing 15 goals on only 87 shots (.828 save percentage). His lone win was against Saturday's opponent, as the Blue Jackets managed only 18 shots on goal in a 5-3 win for the Flyers on Dec. 10. Columbus has been surprisingly strong offensively in 2024-25, averaging 3.24 goals per game.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Stumbles in Detroit
Ersson stopped 18 of 23 shots in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Red Wings, with Detroit's final goal getting scored into an empty net.
The five goals allowed tied Ersson's season high, and the 25-year-old netminder has yet to rediscover the form he was flashing prior to getting hurt in November. In four starts since his return from a lower-body injury, he's gone 1-3-0 with a 3.86 GAA and miserable .828 save percentage. Aleksei Kolosov and Ivan Fedotov may begin to see more work again if Ersson doesn't turn things around quickly.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Set to start Wednesday
Ersson is expected to start in Wednesday's road tilt against Detroit.
Ersson has a 6-4-2 record, 2.87 GAA and .891 save percentage in 14 appearances in 2024-25. He has allowed at least three goals in each of his past five starts. Detroit ranks 27th in goals per game with 2.57.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Overwhelmed by Wild
Ersson made 19 saves in a 4-1 loss to Minnesota on Saturday.
Ersson is the lead goalie in a three-headed monster in Philly. He has started 13 games, with Ivan Fedotov starting 10 and Aleksei Kolosov getting the call eight times. Having three netminders in the fold rarely delivers much fantasy value, but Ersson makes a solid case for himself. He has a 6-4-2 record, and his 2.87 GAA is the best of the trio. However, his team-leading .891 save percentage is abysmal. Still, Ersson's fantasy worth could rise if he stays at the forefront of the team's goaltending picture.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Starting Saturday
Ersson will patrol the visiting crease in Minnesota on Saturday, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Ersson is 1-1-0, allowing seven goals on 43 shots, over two appearances since returning from an 11-game absence due to a lower-body injury. Ersson is 6-3-2 with a 2.85 GAA and an .893 save percentage across 13 outings this season. He will face the Wild, who are averaging 3.14 goals per game in 2024-25.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Solid night against Columbus
Ersson made 15 saves in a 5-3 win over Columbus on Tuesday.
Ersson is 2-1-0 in his last three games, but he's allowed 10 goals in that span. Still, it was a solid performance Tuesday. Overall, he's 6-3-2 with a 2.85 GAA and an .893 save percentage. Aleksei Kolosov and Ivan Fedotov are also on the roster, but Ersson will keep his hands on the reins as long as he continues to deliver.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Drawing road start
Ersson will be between the pipes in Tuesday's road tilt against the Blue Jackets, according to Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers.
Ersson allowed four goals on 25 shots in his return to the lineup Sunday versus Utah after missing 11 games with a lower-body injury. The Flyers are currently carrying three goalies on their roster, and it remains unclear if that will continue now that Ersson is healthy. Either way, Ersson appears to be the No. 1 option in net for Philadelphia, as he'll make back-to-back starts. The Blue Jackets rank 7th in the NHL with 3.41 goals per game through 27 contests.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Loses in return
Ersson stopped 21 of 25 shots in Sunday's 4-2 loss to Utah.
Ersson missed 11 games due to a lower-body injury. The 25-year-old netminder had a good first period, but Utah put up three goals in the second and Kevin Stenlund iced the game with a shorthanded tally in the third. Ersson is down to 5-3-2 with a 2.83 GAA and an .897 save percentage through 12 contests. He functioned as the Flyers' starter to begin 2024-25, but with Aleksei Kolosov and Ivan Fedotov improving their play in Ersson's absence, the Philadelphia crease figures to be a messy one in the short term. It's unclear which goalie will start Tuesday's road game at Columbus.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Returns to crease Sunday
Ersson will patrol the home crease versus Utah on Sunday, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Following an 11-game absence due to a lower-body injury, Ersson will be back between the pipes for the Flyers. He has a 5-2-2 record with one shutout, a 2.70 GAA and a .902 save percentage through 11 appearances this season. Ersson will get the second half of the team's back-to-back after Aleksei Kolosov played in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to Boston. Utah ranks 21st in the league with 2.88 goals per game and earned a 5-2 victory over Buffalo on Saturday.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Practices Monday
Ersson (lower body) participated in Monday's practice, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Ersson hasn't played since Nov. 11 versus San Jose after tweaking a previous injury during a Nov. 13 practice. Monday's on-ice session was his first with his teammates since he was sidelined.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Travels with team
Ersson (lower body) traveled with the Flyers for Saturday's game in St. Louis, Jackie Spiegel of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Ersson didn't play, but it's impressive he traveled for the road game, which was the second half of a back-to-back. The 25-year-old has been out since Nov. 11, and he's already exceeded his 1-2 week return timeline established in mid-November. Improved performances from Aleksei Kolosov and Ivan Fedotov have allowed the Flyers to take their time with Ersson's return, so he may not return to a No. 1 role once he's activated from injured reserve.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Considered day-to-day
Ersson (lower body), who remains on injured reserve, has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Carolina and is considered day-to-day.
Ersson tweaked a lower-body injury at practice last Wednesday, and it's encouraging to see him deemed day-to-day after he initially carried a return timetable of 1-2 weeks. It's not yet clear when the 25-year-old netminder will be able to return to game action, but he seems to be progressing well in his recovery.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Surfaces on IR
Ersson (lower body) was put on injured reserve Sunday, per the NHL media site.
Following a 28-save effort in a 4-3 shootout win over San Jose on Monday, Ersson tweaked a previous injury and received a 1-2 week timeline for his recovery. His move to IR will free up a roster spot for the Flyers to bring up a defenseman from AHL Lehigh Valley because of injuries to Cam York (upper body), Emil Andrae (undisclosed) and Jamie Drysdale (upper body).

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Slated to miss time
Ersson reinjured his previous lower-body issue and is expected to be out for 1-2 weeks, Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports Friday.
Ersson's timeline would see him miss at least the Flyers' next three contests, though it sounds like it could be longer. Given that recovery timeline, it wouldn't be a shock to see the team designate the netminder for injured reserve. Look for Ivan Fedotov to get the bulk of the workload for the time being -- though Aleksei Kolosov should be in contention as well.
