Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Struggles continue Saturday
Ersson made 22 saves in relief in a 6-3 loss to the Rangers on Saturday.
Starter Aleksei Kolosov allowed three goals on three shots in a 1:20 span in the first period, but Ersson took the loss. The Flyers are on a six-game losing streak (0-5-1) while being outscored by the opposition by a 31-12 margin. Ersson is 0-4-0 with 15 goals allowed during that run.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Pulled in second period
Ersson allowed three goals on 14 shots before being replaced in the second period of Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Penguins.
Aleksei Kolosov replaced him. It was hardly Ersson's fault that his team was down 3-1 at the time. The Pens had ripped home two power-play goals in the first, and the Flyers were running around at bad angles. Ersson was pressed into duty after Dan Vladar suffered an undisclosed injury in Wednesday's game. Ersson's last win was Dec. 23. He's 0-3-0 with 17 goals allowed in four starts since.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Starting against Pittsburgh
Ersson will start Thursday's road game against Pittsburgh.
Ersson has taken losses in each of his last three outings, but he'll draw the start Thursday after Dan Vladar (undisclosed) exited Wednesday's game against the Sabres. It's not yet clear when Vladar will return to action, but Ersson will likely serve as the Flyers' No. 1 netminder if Vladar misses time, while Aleksei Kolosov was also called up Thursday.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Takes loss in relief
Ersson turned aside six of eight shots after replacing Dan Vladar (undisclosed) in the first period Wednesday, taking the loss as the Flyers fell 5-2 to the Sabres.
It was a rough night for Philadelphia's defense overall, and Ersson got stuck with his third straight loss when Jack Quinn's tally early in the second period proved to be the game-winner. The 26-year-old netminder has only one win in his last eight outings, going 1-5-2 with a 3.75 GAA and .840 save percentage over that stretch, but he'll likely take over as the Flyers' No. 1 option in the crease for as long as Vladar is sidelined.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Swarmed by killer bees
Ersson made 16 saves in a 7-2 loss to Tampa Bay on Saturday.
Ersson was swarmed by killer bees Saturday, and his coach wasn't about to bail him out. He has lost two straight games with 12 goals allowed over that span. He's also 1-4-2 in his last seven (27 goals allowed). Ersson, who is 6-6-4 with a 3.33 GAA and an .858 save percentage in 16 starts, is going to continue to take a back seat to Dan Vladar, whose 16-6-4 record, 2.35 GAA and .910 save percentage are stellar.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: First off Saturday
Ersson was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports, indicating he will patrol the home crease against Tampa Bay on Saturday.
Ersson has one victory in his last six appearances (1-3-2) while allowing 20 goals on 150 shots. He has a 6-5-4 record this season with a 3.09 GAA and an .868 save percentage across 15 appearances. Tampa Bay ranks second in the league with 3.45 goals per game this campaign.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Struggles against Flames
Ersson stopped 20 of 25 shots in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to the Flames.
Ersson kept things close for about 30 minutes, but penalty trouble for the Flyers led to two goals for the Flames in the second period. The Flyers, on the second half of a back-to-back, couldn't get back into the game, leaving Ersson with his fifth loss in his last six outings (1-3-2). The 26-year-old netminder is now at a 6-5-4 record with a 3.09 GAA and an .867 save percentage over 15 appearances. Dan Vladar will likely get the nod for a tough matchup Saturday versus the Oilers to close out this five-game road trip.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Set to start in Calgary
Ersson will protect the road goal versus the Flames on Wednesday.
Ersson will get the second half of a back-to-back after Dan Vladar backstopped the Flyers to a 6-3 win over the Canucks on Tuesday. Ersson is 2-2-2 with an .889 save percentage over six outings in December. The Flames have scored 19 goals over their last six games, winning four of them.

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.
