Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Not busy in third win
Ersson stopped 20 of 22 shots in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
The Flyers never trailed in the game, in large part due to a defensive effort that made sure Columbus wasn't able to get more than nine shots on net in any period. Ersson has won three of his last four starts to improve his record to 3-3-1, and through five appearances in November he has a dazzling 2.09 GAA despite a merely solid .909 save percentage. As long as Carter Hart is healthy though, Ersson will remain stuck in a backup role.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Comes up short
Ersson stopped 17 of 19 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Sharks.
Despite arguably one of the most favorable matchups in the league, Ersson was on the wrong end of the result Tuesday. He allowed an early goal to Anthony Duclair and William Eklund added a power-play tally in the second period. Ersson is now at a 1-3-1 record with 17 goals allowed on 100 shots across his five appearances this season. Until Carter Hart (middle body) is ready to return, Ersson figures to get most of the starts for the Flyers. Their road trip continues with a back-to-back in Anaheim and Los Angeles on Friday and Saturday, respectively.

Ersson picked up his first win in four appearances this season, turning in a solid performance after he gave up two goals on nine shots in a relief outing versus the Sabres on Wednesday.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Falls to Buffalo in relief
Ersson allowed two goals on nine shots in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Sabres.
After replacing Carter Hart (undisclosed) in the first period, Ersson was able to keep the Sabres off the board until the third, when he allowed a pair of goals en route to a 5-2 loss. It was another tough outing for the 24-year-old netminder, who falls to 0-2-1 with an unsightly .763 save percentage to start the year. Despite his early struggles, Ersson may be in line for an extended role if Hart is forced to miss additional time, as Felix Sandstrom was sent down to AHL Lehigh Valley on a conditioning stint Tuesday.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Sunk by Ducks
Ersson stopped 18 shots in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Ducks.
Anaheim scored its first goal just 58 seconds into the first period and never stopped attacking, building a 4-0 lead by the midway point of the game before Philly even got on the board. Ersson wasn't as much to blame as his defense in this one, but the 24-year-old netminder has still been beaten 12 times on 50 shots through his first two starts of the season. Next time the Flyers decide to give Carter Hart a breather, it could be Felix Sandstrom's turn to man the crease.
