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.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Dealing with lower-body injury
Ersson will be unavailable for Thursday's game against Ottawa due to a lower-body injury.
Ersson had already been ruled out for Thursday's matchup after tweaking something during Wednesday's practice session, and the team has now clarified that he's dealing with a lower-body issue. However, the injury isn't considered a long-term concern, so he should be deemed day-to-day ahead of Saturday's home game against the Sabres.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Not dressing Thursday
Ersson tweaked something at practice Wednesday and will not be in uniform for Thursday's tilt in Ottawa, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
The Flyers said that the injury is not long term. Ivan Fedotov will get the start with Aleksei Kolosov backing up in Ottawa. Ersson is the Flyers' No. 1 goaltender when healthy, as he is 5-2-2 with a 2.70 GAA and a .902 save percentage in 11 appearances this season.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Hangs on for shootout win
Ersson turned aside 28 shots in regulation and overtime and both shootout attempts he faced in Monday's 4-3 win over the Sharks.
The 25-year-old netminder appeared to have things well in hand when Matvei Michkov gave the Flyers a 3-0 lead early in the second period, but a furious comeback by the Sharks forced extra time. Ersson didn't get rattled, denying Macklin Celebrini and Will Smith in the shootout to secure the victory. Ersson hasn't lost in regulation since Oct. 22, going 4-0-1 over his last six appearances with a 2.27 GAA and .915 save percentage to give him a firm hold on the top job in the crease for Philly.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Set to start Monday
Ersson will defend the home crease during Monday's game against the Sharks, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Ersson returned from a two-game absence Saturday against the Panthers and allowed three goals on 31 shots (.903 save percentage) en route to a shootout loss. However, he'll draw the start for a second consecutive game and should continue to serve as the Flyers' No. 1 goaltender now that he's back to full health.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Stuck with shootout loss in return
Ersson made 28 saves in regulation and overtime and stopped three of five shootout attempts in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Panthers.
The netminder had sat out the prior two games with a lower-body injury, but Ersson looked healthy in his return to the crease Saturday. He should immediately reclaim the No. 1 job for Philly, as Ersson's 2.69 GAA and .902 save percentage on the season are far superior to the marks posted by Ivan Fedotov (4.05 GAA, .851 save percentage) and Aleksei Kolosov (3.93 GAA, .863 save percentage) -- the latter is currently out with a lower-body injury.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Good to start Saturday
Ersson (lower body) will guard the road goal in Saturday's tilt against Florida, according to Charlie O'Connor of PHLY Sports.
Ersson left last Saturday's 3-0 loss to Boston after logging just 7:36 of ice time because of the injury. He has a 4-2-1 record, 2.68 GAA and .901 save percentage in nine appearances in 2024-25. The Panthers will be a challenging adversary -- they're 10-3-1 and rank fifth offensively with 3.86 goals per game.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Not ready to return
Ersson (lower body) took part in the Flyers' game-day skate Thursday but won't be in action versus the Lightning, Jackie Spiegel of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Ersson seems to be trending in the right direction, which could leave the door open for him to play versus the Panthers on Saturday. Still, with both Aleksei Kolosov and Ivan Fedotov available, the team doesn't need to rush Ersson back into the crease. It will be Kolosov who gets the nod for Thursday's matchup with Tampa Bay.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Traveling with Flyers
Ersson (lower body) is traveling with the Flyers and spent some time on the ice in full gear Tuesday, per Jackie Spiegel of The Philadelphia Inquirer.
Ersson isn't expected to play in Tuesday's road tilt versus Carolina, but joining the Flyers on their trip opens the door to him potentially playing Thursday in Tampa Bay or Saturday's road game against the Panthers. He has a 4-2-1 record, 2.68 GAA and .901 save percentage in nine appearances in 2024-25. Aleksei Kolosov is set to start Tuesday, and Ivan Fedotov is projected to serve as the backup netminder.

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.
