Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Exits game with injury
Ersson (lower body) exited Saturday's tilt against Boston and won't return.
Ersson stopped the eight shots he faced but left the game after logging just 7:36 of ice time. Aleksei Kolosov took his place between the pipes. The 25-year-old Ersson was seen getting a new skate blade, but he also spoke to the head athletic trainer and pointed to his left leg, according to Jackie Spiegel of The Philadelphia Inquirer. Ersson has been the clear No. 1 option for the Flyers in 2024-25, so if he misses time due to this injury, then that would leave Ivan Fedotov and Aleksei Kolosov to compete for starts during his absence.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Facing Bruins
Ersson will be between the home pipes versus Boston on Saturday, Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports.
Ersson has solidified his spot as the No. 1 goaltender with the Flyers, winning his last three starts. Ersson is 4-2-1 with a 2.73 GAA and an .897 save percentage in eight appearances this season. Boston has been slumping recently, losing five of six games while finding the back of the net nine times heading into Saturday's matchup.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Sharp in fourth win
Ersson stopped 20 shots in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Blues.
Neither goalie was particularly busy in a tight-checking affair, but Ersson was just a little bit sharper than Jordan Binnington. The Flyers' No. 1 netminder has won three straight starts to boost his record to 4-2-1 in eight appearances, and while Ersson's 2.73 GAA and .897 save percentage aren't elite, they're significantly better than Ivan Fedotov's 5.35 GAA and .821 save percentage.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Slated to start Thursday
Ersson is expected to serve as the starting goaltender for Thursday's home game against the Blues, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Ersson put together his first shutout win of the season Tuesday against the Bruins, and he'll start for a second consecutive game Thursday. The 25-year-old has been somewhat inconsistent over his first seven outings this year, posting a 3-2-1 record, 2.99 GAA and .891 save percentage.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Makes 23 saves in shutout win
Ersson posted a 23-save shutout in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Bruins.
Ersson won his second start in a row and earned the sixth shutout of his NHL career in this outing. He was in control throughout the game and needed to be sharp given the tight margin -- the Flyers didn't get a multi-goal lead until their empty-netter in the final minute. Ersson is 3-2-1 with a 3.00 GAA and an .890 save percentage through seven appearances (six starts). He's been the Flyers' best option in goal early on, as Ivan Fedotov and Aleksei Kolosov have yet to make a positive impression.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: In net versus Boston
Ersson will get the starting nod in Tuesday's road tilt against the Bruins, per Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic.
Ersson has been unsteady between the pipes lately, allowing 12 goals over his last three appearances. The 25-year-old will draw a Boston club scoring 3.00 goals per game through nine matchups. Ersson sports a 2-2-1 record, .872 save percentage and 3.56 GAA across six appearances.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Allows five goals in victory
Ersson stopped 21 of 26 shots in a 7-5 win versus Minnesota on Saturday.
Ersson received plenty of offensive support to secure his second win of the season, improving his record to 2-2-1 with a 3.56 GAA and an .872 save percentage through six appearances. Rasmus Ristolainen scored the game-winner for the Flyers at the 17:36 mark of the third period, breaking a 5-5 tie.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Getting starting nod Saturday
Head coach John Tortorella said Friday that Ersson will be in the home crease for Saturday's game against Minnesota, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Ersson has started in five of the Flyers' first seven games of the season, posting a 1-2-1 record, 3.22 GAA and .886 save percentage. He'll draw the start in the first half of a back-to-back Saturday, while it wouldn't be surprising to see Ivan Fedotov start Sunday's home matchup against Montreal.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Saddled with loss
Reason turned aside 25 of 29 shots faced during Tuesday's 4-1 home loss to the Capitals.
Ersson was hung out to dry by the Flyers' special teams, which conceded two short-handed goals in the first period. The 25-year-old has surrendered three or more goals in each of his last three starts for the rebuilding Flyers, making him difficult to trust from a fantasy perspective even if he does garner the bulk of the starter's workload.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Guarding goal Tuesday
Ersson will protect the home net Tuesday against Washington, per Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia.
Ersson is coming off a 29-save effort in Saturday's 3-0 loss to Vancouver. He has a 1-1-1 record through four appearances this season, allowing 10 goals on 94 shots. Washington has compiled 16 goals through four games this campaign.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Surrounded by horror on ice
Ersson made 29 saves in a 3-0 loss to the Canucks on Saturday.
It was horror on ice for the Flyers, who were outclassed in every area except in goal. Ersson was the best Flyer in the loss, but Vancouver netminder Kevin Lankinen was a step ahead. The 25-year-old Ersson has a 1-1-1 record with 10 goals allowed on 94 shots in four appearances this campaign. Fantasy managers aren't likely to see much improvement in his statistics this season.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Plays third period Thursday
Ersson allowed a goal on five shots in relief of Ivan Fedotov in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Kraken.
Ersson is expected to start Saturday against the Canucks as well, so it's a little surprising he got any action in Thursday's contest. The 24-year-old has been the better of the Flyers' two goalies so far, allowing seven goals on 62 shots while going 1-0-1 over three appearances. Ersson is not a must-have goalie in fantasy, but he may get to that status if he sees a substantial workload, though fantasy managers may be better off streaming him for favorable matchups.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Slated starter for Saturday
Ersson is slated to start at home Saturday versus Vancouver, per Charlie O'Connor of PHLY Sports.
Ivan Fedotov will get the nod for Thursday's road game versus Seattle before Ersson receives his next assignment. The 24-year-old Ersson has a 1-0-1 record, 2.86 GAA and .895 save percentage in two contests this season. Neither Philadelphia goaltender entered the campaign with a firm hold on the starting gig, so the job is open for either to grab if they start doing well. So far, Fedotov and Ersson both have plenty to prove.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Falters late in overtime loss
Ersson stopped 29 of 33 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Oilers.
Ersson was trying to nurse a 3-2 lead to the finish line, but Evan Bouchard scored to tie the game with 3:42 left in the third. In overtime, Leon Draisaitl buried a rebound from a Connor McDavid shot to complete the Flyers' collapse. Ersson has allowed six goals on 59 shots over his first two starts, going 1-0-1. The 24-year-old netminder appears to be the preferred option over Ivan Fedotov. The Flyers end their season-opening road trip in Seattle on Thursday.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Guarding cage Tuesday
Ersson will be in goal on the road against Edmonton on Tuesday, Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports.
Ersson will face a struggling Oilers squad that has managed just three goals through its opening three games. Edmonton is expected to put Leon Draisaitl on the top line with Connor McDavid in order to get some offense. Still, even with the opposition struggling, this won't be an easy road clash for the 24-year-old backstop.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Picks up shootout win
Ersson allowed two goals on 26 shots in Friday's 3-2 shootout win over the Canucks.
Ersson got the nod in the Flyers' season opener, and he delivered a good performance. The Canucks' first goal came off a bad turnover, but the Flyers were twice erase a deficit before Morgan Frost and Travis Konecny lifted them to victory in the shootout. In 2023-24, Ersson went 23-19-7 with a 2.82 GAA and an .890 save percentage, though his numbers were skewed by a late fade. The 24-year-old should be better prepared for the rigors of a full season this year, though he'll also face competition from Ivan Fedotov for the No. 1 job in goal. Fedotov is expected to play Saturday in Calgary.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Set to start Friday
Head coach John Tortorella said before Friday's road game against Vancouver that Ersson will serve as the Flyers' starting goalie.
Ersson was inconsistent during the 2023-24 campaign after taking over as Philadelphia's primary goaltender, and he posted a 23-19-7 record, 2.82 GAA and .890 save percentage over 51 regular-season appearances. The 24-year-old will draw the Opening Night start this year, but Ivan Fedotov could push for playing time if Ersson struggles at some point.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Tough loss against Boston
Ersson stopped 30 of 32 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 preseason loss to the Bruins.
The 24-year-old netminder battled to a 1-1 tie through two periods, but Ersson gave up a power-play tally to Tyler Johnson midway through the third, and Boston then piled on two empty-netters after he left the crease. Ersson had a roller-coaster 2023-24 campaign once he took over as the Flyers' starter, winning a career-high 23 games but posting a 2.82 GAA and .890 save percentage. While he heads into the current season at the top of the depth chart, he could face a stiff challenge from Ivan Fedotov if the towering Russian adapts quickly to the speed of the NHL.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Guarding goal Tuesday
Ersson will protect the road net in Tuesday's preseason game versus the Bruins.
Ersson is set for his second start of the preseason. He should be considered the Flyers' top goalie to begin 2024-25, though he'll face pressure from Ivan Fedotov and perhaps Aleksei Kolosov to keep that spot.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Tending twine Thursday
Ersson will be between the pipes at home versus the Islanders on Thursday, Bill Meltzer of NHL.com reports.
Ersson saw action in 51 games last season in which he posted a 23-19-7 record, 2.82 GAA and four shutouts. With Ivan Fedotov having signed a new contract in the offseason, the 24-year-old Ersson will face significant pressure to maintain the top job in the City of Brotherly Love. As such, it seems unlikely Ersson will get back over the 50-game mark this upcoming season.
