Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Falls to Jackets on Tuesday
Ersson made 31 saves in Tuesday's 3-0 loss to the Blue Jackets.
The 25-year-old goalie got very little help from his teammates, and after Ersson kept Columbus off the board in the first period he couldn't do much to stop a Dante Fabbro blast from the top of the faceoff circle early in the second. Ersson has given up at least three goals in six straight starts, and if he's not between the pipes for Philly's regular-season finale Thursday against the Sabres, he'll close the books on the 2024-25 campaign with a 22-17-5 record, 3.14 GAA and .883 save percentage.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: First off at morning skate
Ersson is slated to draw the home start Tuesday versus the Blue Jackets, Adam Kimelman of NHL.com reports.
Ersson has conceded at least three goals in four consecutive outings, but he's gone 3-1-0 in that span. The Swedish netminder has a 22-16-5 record, 2.98 GAA and .888 save percentage over 46 appearances in 2024-25. The Flyers will be looking to play the role of spoiler Tuesday -- Columbus needs to win its last two games in order to have a chance to make the playoffs.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Third win in last four starts
Ersson made 37 saves in a 4-3 shootout win over the Islanders on Saturday.
He was also perfect through five rounds of the shootout. Ersson has impressed in stretches this season, which hit a high point in late January when he was selected to represent Sweden at the 4 Nations Face-Off and in February when he beat the United States. Ersson has won three of his last four starts with the Flyers (3-1-0), but playing behind a porous team makes him a risk every time he hits the ice. Still, he could be an interesting option after Philadelphia rounds the corner.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Gives up three goals Saturday
Ersson stopped 23 of 26 shots in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Canadiens.

The Flyers were eliminated from playoff contention with the loss. Ersson has struggled down the stretch, with a 2-4-1 record, 4.12 GAA and .840 save percentage over his last seven appearances.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Cruises to win Saturday
Ersson stopped 17 shots in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Sabres.
The 25-year-old netminder wasn't exactly sharp, but the Flyers' offense took control of the game over the final 30 minutes and gave Ersson plenty of cushion. He's given up at least four goals in three straight starts, and over 10 appearances in March, Ersson's 3-5-1 with a rough 4.30 GAA and .833 save percentage. Interim head coach Brad Shaw still seems to view Ersson as his No. 1 goalie, and with the team playing much better since switching coaches, the Swede could keep racking up wins down the stretch.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Team horrible in front of him
Ersson made 23 saves in a 7-2 loss to Toronto on Tuesday.
The Flyers were horrendous in front of Ersson against one of the league's best offensive squads. That's a very bad combination. Avoid Ersson. This team is 1-8-1 in its last 10, and the Flyers have a minus-52 goal differential overall.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Struggles continue
Ersson made 13 saves in a 3-2 loss to Washington on Thursday.
The Flyers are really struggling. The team is 1-8-0 in its last nine games, and they had been shut out in two straight. Ersson himself is 1-4-1 in his last seven starts with 27 goals allowed.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Allows five goals in loss
Ersson stopped 25 of 30 shots on goal in Saturday's 5-0 loss to the Hurricanes.
Ersson conceded four goals at even strength and one on a Carolina power play. To make matters worse for the 25-year-old netminder, he received no help offensively. With the loss, Ersson has a 19-13-4 record with a 3.02 GAA and an .886 save percentage. The first half of March has been rough for Ersson with a 1-3-0 record, 19 goals allowed and an .833 save percentage in five appearances. We've seen stronger stretches of play from Philadelphia's top goaltender this season, but he is a risky play in fantasy for the time being. Ersson's next opportunity to guard the crease is Monday against the Lightning.
