Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Makes 20 saves in win
Ersson stopped 20 of 21 shots in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Blackhawks.
Ersson was beaten in the latter stages of the second period, but that would be the only goal he'd allow. The 26-year-old Swedish netminder snapped a four-game losing skid with this win, a run in which he'd allowed at least three goals each time. Ersson owns a 2-2-2 record with a 2.78 GAA and an .889 save percentage in seven appearances in December.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Facing Chicago
Ersson will guard the road goal versus the Blackhawks on Tuesday, Jackie Spiegel of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Ersson will look to snap a four-game skid. He's 0-2-2 with 14 goals allowed on 103 shots over that span. The Blackhawks are without both Connor Bedard (upper body) and Frank Nazar (upper body), so their offense will be significantly weakened, but Ersson's recent results aren't encouraging for fantasy purposes.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Four straight losses
Ersson made 23 saves in a 5-4 shootout loss to the Rangers on Saturday.
He carried Philadelphia into the third period with a 4-2 lead, but the Rangers turned up the heat, ultimately tying the game on the power play with 2:34 left in the game. Ersson is 0-2-2 with an .864 save percentage in his last four starts. He's going to need to focus his game with Dan Vladar (upper body) on the shelf.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Tending twine Saturday
Ersson will defend the road net against the Rangers on Saturday.
Ersson has gone 0-2-1 in his last three appearances while allowing 10 goals on 76 shots. He has posted a 5-4-3 record with a 3.05 GAA and an .869 save percentage through 12 appearances this season. Dan Vladar (upper body) won't be in the lineup for Saturday's game, so Aleksei Kolosov is up from AHL Lehigh Valley on an emergency basis to serve as Ersson's backup.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Suffers loss Thursday
Ersson allowed four goals on 27 shots in a 5-3 defeat to the Sabres on Thursday.
Ersson is currently mired in a three-game losing streak during which he has posted a 0-2-1 record to go with a 3.31 GAA. At this point, the 26-year-old netminder has fallen behind Dan Vladar as the No. 1 option for the Flyers. As such, fantasy managers probably shouldn't expect Ersson to reach the 20-win threshold this year, a mark he hit in each of the last two campaigns.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Drawing start Thursday
Ersson will start Thursday's road game against Buffalo, Charlie O'Connor of PHLY Sports reports.
Ersson has seen limited playing time in recent weeks, but he'll be between the pipes Thursday for the second time in the Flyers' last six games. Across his last five starts, he's gone 2-2-1 with a 2.54 GAA and .897 save percentage.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Tagged with SO loss
Ersson stopped 18 of 21 shots in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Hurricanes.
Ersson did what he could to keep the Flyers in the game, including stopping three shots during the shootout, but he was ultimately tagged with the loss. The 26-year-old has won only two of his past five starts, going 2-2-1 with a 2.54 GAA and an .897 save percentage in that span. He has posted a save percentage below the .900 mark in his past two starts.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Gets starting nod Saturday
Ersson will start Saturday's home matchup versus Carolina, according to Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia.
Ersson is 2-2-0 in his last four starts, allowing 10 goals on 105 shots. Overall, the 26-year-old is 5-3-2 with a 2.99 GAA and a poor .871 save percentage over 10 appearances. The Hurricanes are tied for sixth in NHL scoring, generating 3.30 goals per game this season.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Solid performance in loss
Ersson stopped 25 shots on 28 attempts on net in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Avalanche.
All three goals against Ersson came in the first 22 minutes. The 26-year-old netminder drops to a 5-3-2 record with an .871 save percentage and a 2.98 GAA through 10 games this season. The 2025-26 campaign has been an up-and-down experience for Ersson, who has won half his starts this season. Ersson will need to display more more consistency moving forward to challenge Dan Vladar for the top spot on Philadelphia's goalie depth chart. His next opportunity to guard the crease is Tuesday against San Jose.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: First out for warmups
Ersson led the Flyers out for warmups and will get the start Sunday against the Avalanche, Adam Kimelman of NHL.com reports.
Ersson will reach double-digit appearances with Sunday's start. Through his first nine appearances, the 26-year-old is 5-2-2 with a 2.97 GAA and an .869 save percentage. He has won two straight starts, stopping 55 of 60 shots on goal in those outings. It will be difficult to extend that winning streak against the first-place Avalanche, who lead the NHL with 4.00 goals per game.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Allows two goals in win
Ersson stopped 24 of 26 shots in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Sabres.
Ersson earned his first regulation win of the season after his previous four victories all came in the shootout. The 26-year-old limited the damage to goals by Jason Zucker and Bowen Byram. Ersson is now 5-2-2 with a 2.97 GAA and an .867 save percentage over nine appearances. Dan Vladar is still serving as the Flyers' go-to starter, but with three wins in his last four outings, Ersson has at least been able to get results lately. Neither goalie will be a recommended option in fantasy when the Flyers host the Avalanche on Sunday.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: First goalie off Wednesday
Ersson was the first goalie to leave the ice ahead of Wednesday's home clash with the Sabres, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports, indicating he'll be in goal.
Ersson has given up three or more goals in six of his eight outings this year, posting a 4-2-2 record, 3.09 GAA and .859 save percentage. The 26-year-old backstop will be making his third appearance in the Flyers' last seven outings despite his underwhelming numbers.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Stops 28 shots, earns win
Ersson stopped 28 of 31 shots in Friday's 4-3 shootout win over the Islanders.
Ersson has avoided defeat in regulation in three of his last four starts. However, that record doesn't tell the whole story, as the 26-year-old netminder has also posted a save percentage of .890 or lower in three of those outings. As such, and considering he's entrenched in a backup role, it's hard to trust Ersson in fantasy going forward.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: In goal Friday
Ersson will start Friday's road matchup against the Islanders.
Ersson stopped 15 of 17 shots in Monday's 3-0 loss to Tampa Bay, with the third goal being an empty-netter. He has posted a 3-2-2 record this season while allowing 23 goals on 153 shots. The Islanders sit 21st in the league with 2.96 goals per game this campaign.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Stuck on wrong end of shutout
Ersson stopped 15 of 17 shots in Monday's 3-0 loss to the Lightning, with Tampa Bay's final goal getting scored into an empty net.
The 26-year-old netminder had little chance at either puck that got past him, and the Flyers' offense couldn't solve Andrei Vasilevskiy. It was Ersson's first regulation loss since Oct. 16, although he hasn't been getting consistent work as the No. 2 behind Dan Vladar. On the season, Ersson's 3-2-2 in seven starts with a 3.14 GAA and an .850 save percentage.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Tending twine Monday
Ersson will patrol the road crease versus the Lightning on Monday.
Ersson has allowed three or more goals in all but one of his six outings but has still managed a 3-1-2 record. Even with the wins, the Swedish netminder is sporting career-worst numbers in both GAA (3.30) and save percentage (.846) to start the year. With a back-to-back against the Islanders and Devils on Friday and Saturday, respectively, Ersson is in line to make multiple starts this week.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Ugly outing in shootout win
Ersson stopped 12 of 17 shots in Friday's 6-5 shootout win over the Blues.
Ersson has faced fewer than 20 shots in three of his six outings on the year, but he's yet to take advantage of light workloads, allowing a total of 12 goals on 45 shots in those games. He's shined in the shootout, which is where he's collected all three of his wins this season. The 26-year-old is 3-1-2 with a 3.30 GAA and an .846 save percentage on the year. Ersson's performance hasn't been good enough on the whole, but it looks like he'll resume splitting time with Dan Vladar in the crease after recovering from a lower-body injury. If the split is even, Vladar can be projected for Saturday's road game in Dallas while Ersson would be lined up for a rematch with the Blues in Philadelphia on Thursday.

Ersson will defend the road crease against the Blues on Friday.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Facing Senators
Ersson will patrol the home crease versus Ottawa on Saturday.

The Senators are generating 3.43 goals per game this season, good for eighth in the NHL.
