Ends season on winning note Ersson made 27 saves in a 4-2 win over Montreal on Tuesday.

Impact Ersson finished the season on a 6-1-0 run in seven starts (nine appearances). Overall, he ended with a 14-11-5 record, 3.12 GAA and .870 save percentage. Dan Vladar will assume the stance in the blue paint with the playoffs starting, so Ersson will take a spot on the bench.

Starting regular-season finale Ersson will start Tuesday's home game against the Canadiens.

Impact Ersson has appeared in just one of the Flyers' last six games, but he'll draw the start in Tuesday's regular-season finale, likely to give Dan Vladar -- who will presumably serve as Philadelphia's top netminder in the playoffs -- a night off. Across eight outings since the Olympic break, Ersson has gone 5-1-0 with a 1.99 GAA and .908 save percentage.

Needed in relief in Detroit Ersson stopped 12 of 14 shots after replacing Dan Vladar early in the second period of Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Red Wings.

Impact With the Flyers trying to hang onto a playoff spot, Ersson is making a push to replace Vladar at the top of the depth chart. Over eight outings since the Olympic break, Ersson has gone 5-1-0 with a sparkling 1.99 GAA and .908 save percentage.

Crashes against Wings Ersson made 15 saves in Thursday's 4-2 loss to Detroit.

Impact The final line was shaky for the 26-year-old netminder, but Ersson didn't actually have much chance of stopping any of the pucks that got past him. It was his first regulation loss since Jan. 29, and over seven outings since the Olympic break Ersson's gone 5-1-0 with a dazzling 1.86 GAA and .913 save percentage.

Facing Red Wings Ersson will protect the home cage versus Detroit on Thursday, according to Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia.

Impact Ersson is working on a four-game winning streak, having allowed six goals on 92 shots (.935 save percentage). Overall, the 26-year-old is 13-10-5 with a 3.12 GAA and an .870 save percentage over 30 contests in 2025-26. The Red Wings are 21st in league scoring, generating 2.89 goals per contest.

Earns overtime win Ersson stopped 17 of 18 shots in Sunday's 2-1 overtime win over the Stars.

Impact Ersson has won his last five decisions, allowing just eight goals on 118 shots over six contests in that span. The 26-year-old netminder was able to limit the damage to an Arttu Hyry shorthanded goal in Sunday's contest. Ersson is up to 13-10-5 with a 3.11 GAA and an .870 save percentage over 30 appearances this season, but he's been rock-solid when called upon since the Olympic break. Dan Vladar will likely be between the pipes Tuesday versus the Capitals, but the Flyers have a back-to-back later in the week that should allow Ersson to make another start in short order.

Zegras scores in OT as the Flyers beat the Stars 2-1

Trevor Zegras wristed a sharp-angle shot past Casey DeSmith with 1:33 remaining in overtime, leading the hard-charging Philadelphia Flyers to a 2-1 victory over the Dallas Stars

Puts win streak on the line Sunday Ersson will get the start Sunday against the Stars, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Impact Ersson has won four straight starts, allowing just seven goals total in those contests. The 26-year-old is 12-10-5 on the season with a 3.20 GAA and an .867 save percentage. The Flyers are on the second of a back-to-back, but so are the Stars, Sunday's opponent. Dallas snapped a four-game losing streak last time out, posting six goals against the Penguins.

MARCH 29 • ROTOWIRE

Wins streak at four Ersson turned aside 25 shots in Thursday's 5-1 win over Chicago.

Impact Connor Bedard spoiled his shutout bid in the second period, but otherwise Ersson was sharp as he won his fourth straight decision since the Olympic break. He remains behind Dan Vladar on the depth chart, but Ersson is doing his best to keep the Flyers in the playoff picture when called upon, posting a dazzling 1.58 GAA and .931 save percentage in five outings during that stretch.

Flyers beat the Blackhawks 5-1 after 2 goals in the first 2:33

Alex Bump and Sean Couturier scored in the first three minutes of the game and the Philadelphia Flyers used the fast start to cruise to a 5-1 win over the Chicago Blackhawks

MARCH 27 • Associated Press

Set to face Chicago Ersson is expected to start at home against Chicago on Thursday, per Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia.

Impact Ersson has an 11-10-5 record, 3.28 GAA and .864 save percentage in 28 outings in 2025-26. He's making his first start since last Thursday, when he stopped 22 of 25 shots in a 4-3 shootout win over Los Angeles. Chicago ranks 30th in goals per game with 2.59 this season.

MARCH 26 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up shootout win Ersson stopped 22 of 25 shots in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over the Kings.

Impact This was a close battle for much of the game, but Ersson still played well enough to help the Flyers get the win. He stopped both attempts in the shootout to secure the victory, his third in his last four outings. The Swedish netminder is now 11-10-5 with a 3.28 GAA and an .864 save percentage over 28 appearances, so it's unlikely he'll unseat Dan Vladar as the Flyers' top goalie. Look for Vladar to get the nod Saturday in San Jose to close out this road trip.

Between pipes Thursday Ersson will guard the visiting cage in Los Angeles on Thursday.

Impact Ersson has won his last two starts, allowing three goals on 47 shots in victories over the Rangers and Washington. Overall, the 26-year-old is 10-10-5 with a 3.30 GAA and an .863 save percentage across 27 games in 2025-26. The Kings are generating 2.63 goals per game this season, 28th in the NHL.
