Samuel Ersson - NHL News & Rumors

Swarmed by killer bees Ersson made 16 saves in a 7-2 loss to Tampa Bay on Saturday.

Impact Ersson was swarmed by killer bees on Saturday, and his coach wasn't about to bail him out. He has lost two straight games with 12 goals allowed (total) in that span. And he's 1-4-2 in his last seven (27 goals allowed). Ersson, who is 6-6-4 with a 3.33 GAA and .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.

Struggles against Flames Ersson stopped 20 of 25 shots in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to the Flames.

Impact 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.

Set to start in Calgary Ersson will protect the road goal versus the Flames on Wednesday.

Impact 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.

Makes 20 saves in win Ersson stopped 20 of 21 shots in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact 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.

Facing Chicago Ersson will guard the road goal versus the Blackhawks on Tuesday, Jackie Spiegel of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact 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.

DECEMBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Four straight losses Ersson made 23 saves in a 5-4 shootout loss to the Rangers on Saturday.

Impact He carried Philly 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. Keep him on your bench until he shows fewer holes in his game.

Tending twine Saturday Ersson will defend the road net against the Rangers on Saturday.

Impact 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.

Suffers loss Thursday Ersson allowed four goals on 27 shots in a 5-3 defeat to the Sabres on Thursday.

Impact Ersson is currently mired in a three-game losing streak during which he 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.

Drawing start Thursday Ersson will start Thursday's road game against Buffalo, Charlie O'Connor of PHLY Sports reports.

Impact 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.

Tagged with SO loss Ersson stopped 18 of 21 shots in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact 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 previous five starts, going 2-2-1 with a 2.54 GAA and an .897 save percentage in that span. He's posted a save percentage below the .900 mark in his past two starts.

DECEMBER 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Gets starting nod Saturday Ersson will start Saturday's home matchup versus Carolina, according to Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia.

Impact 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.

DECEMBER 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Solid performance in loss Ersson stopped 25 shots on 28 attempts on net in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Avalanche.

Impact Ersson struggled inside the first 22 minutes of Sunday's game, but he flipped the switch and kept the net clean from that point onward. With the loss, the 26-year-old netminder now has a 5-3-2 record with a .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. While he's firmly behind starting netminder Dan Vladar on the Flyers' depth chart, Ersson has the potential to be a solid spot-start opinion in fantasy if he can find more consistency moving forward. His next opportunity to guard Philadelphia's crease is Tuesday against San Jose.

First out for warmups Ersson led the Flyers out for warmups and will get the start Sunday, Adam Kimelman of NHL.com reports.

Impact 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's also won two straight starts, stopping 55 of 60 shots on goal in those outings. The task for a third straight win will be tough with the league-leading Avalanche, leading the NHL with 4.00 goals per game, waiting.

DECEMBER 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Allows two goals in win Ersson stopped 24 of 26 shots in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Sabres.

Impact This was Ersson's first regulation win of the season -- 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' starter in goal, 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.

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.

Impact 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.

DECEMBER 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Stops 28 shots, earns win Ersson stopped 28 of 31 shots in Friday's 4-3 shootout win over the Islanders.

Impact 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.
