Facing Lightning Ersson will defend the road crease in Tampa Bay on Saturday, Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports.

Impact Ersson has been great over the last six games, going 3-2-1 with a sensational 1.99 GAA and a .917 save percentage. Ersson is 18-12-5 for the surprising Flyers. The Lightning are in a battle for the final two wild card spots in the Eastern Conference with the Flyers, Detroit and the Islanders, so this is an important matchup for both teams.

Sharp in win over Florida Ersson turned aside 29 shots in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Panthers.

Impact Gustav Forsling snuck a shot past him through heavy traffic in the second period, but otherwise Ersson had an answer for everything Florida fired at him. The 24-year-old netminder has allowed two goals or less in five of his last six starts, a stretch in which he's posted a 1.99 GAA and .917 save percentage with a 3-2-1 record, and Ersson needs two more victories for his first career 20-win campaign.

MARCH 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Slated to face Panthers Ersson is expected to start on the road against Florida on Thursday.

Impact Ersson has a 17-12-5 record, 2.57 GAA and .899 save percentage in 35 appearances in 2023-24. He saved 24 of 25 shots in a 2-1 shootout loss to St. Louis in his last start Monday. Florida, which ranks eighth offensively with 3.32 goals per game, figures to be a challenging adversary for Ersson.

Suffers shootout loss Ersson stopped 24 of 25 shots, but the Flyers till took a 2-1 shootout loss to the Blues on Monday.

Impact Ersson continues his dramatic up-and-down play with Monday's .960 save percentage. It's hard to know if you'll get a performance like he gave against the Blues or if it'll be more like the prior game when he allowed five goals on 21 shots. In four of the last nine games, he's been at an .872 save percentage or below. In the other five starts, he's been at .909 or above. It's a roller coaster.

In goal Monday Ersson will get the starting nod against the Blues at home Monday, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Impact Ersson has conceded three or more goals in four of his last seven outings, registering a combined 3-3-1 record and 3.17 GAA over that stretch. Still, the netminder should continue to see the majority of the workload considering the Flyers don't have much in the way of alternatives between either Felix Sandstrom and Cal Petersen.

MARCH 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Crumbles against Caps Ersson turned aside 16 shots in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Capitals.

Impact The Flyers took a 2-0 lead into the first intermission, but their defense fell apart over the final 40 minutes and Ersson wasn't able to weather the storm. It's the third time in his last six starts the 24-year-old goalie has allowed four goals or more, a stretch in which he's gone 2-3-1 with a 3.19 GAA and .878 save percentage. With Philly back in action Saturday against Ottawa, Felix Sandstrom seems likely to get the nod between the pipes.

Guarding cage Friday Ersson will get the starting nod in Washington on Friday, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.

Impact In his last outing, Ersson stopped 20 of 22 shots while defeating the Lightning. He's allowed two or fewer goals in three straight appearances after coughing up a combined nine goals in his previous two games. Since the start of January, the 24-year-old is 8-6-2 with an .899 save percentage.

MARCH 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Solid in Tuesday's victory Ersson stopped 20 of 22 shots in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Lightning.

Impact Ersson faced only 22 shots over the full contest, but he still earned his 17th win of the season and the 23rd of his young career. He had to be sharp for most of the game - he finished with a .909 save percentage - as it was close until the Flyers scored three unanswered goals on Andrei Vasilevskiy to start the third period. Ersson has become the defacto No. 1 goalie for the Flyers as he's played in 14 of their last 16 games with six wins during that span. Be aware that the Flyers' overall record may not be ideal for his fantasy value.

Taking on Tampa Bay Ersson will patrol the home crease versus the Lightning on Tuesday, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Impact Ersson was pretty solid in his last start Saturday against the Rangers, stopping 22 of 24 shots, but he still came away with a loss due to a lack of goal support from his teammates. He'll try to get back in the win column in a home matchup with a Tampa Bay team that's averaging 3.00 goals on the road this season, 22nd in the NHL.

FEBRUARY 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Solid in loss Ersson made 22 saves in a 2-1 loss to the Rangers on Saturday.

Impact Alexis Lafreniere beat him five-hole from the top of the left circle during a 4-on-4 in the second period. And Matt Rempe had a shot hit his leg while he was parked in front of the net and deflect in during the third. Ersson is 4-2-1 in seven games during February. He started that run with two wins and just two goals allowed, and he has allowed only three in his most-recent two games. But in three games in between, Ersson allowed 12 goals. He has been pressed into a heavy workload with Carter Hart (personal) sidelined, and he's performed remarkably well given he'd had just 10 starts and 12 games played prior to this season.

Sharp in Chicago Ersson made 21 saves in Wednesday's 3-1 win over Chicago.

Impact The 24-year-old netminder got beaten by Colin Blackwell midway through the first period, but Ersson shut the door the rest of the way. He's enjoying better support from his teammates at both ends of the ice in February -- the Flyers have scored at least three goals in six straight games, while Ersson has gone 4-1-1 on the month with a 2.51 GAA and .907 save percentage, facing 30 or more shots only once in those six starts.

In goal Wednesday Ersson will guard the road goal versus the Blackhawks on Wednesday, Charlie O'Connor of PHLY Sports reports.

Impact Ersson gave up five goals on 39 shots in a 6-3 loss to the Devils in Saturday's Stadium Series game. He had won three of his four previous indoor starts, but he's given up 12 goals over his last three games. He'll catch a break on the matchup Wednesday, as the Blackhawks have scored just 13 goals over their last six games with just one win in that span.

Falls to New Jersey Ersson allowed five goals on 39 shots in Saturday's 6-3 Stadium Series loss to the Devils.

Impact Ersson couldn't settle in after allowing a breakaway goal to Nico Hischier 32 seconds into the first period, as he'd ultimately surrender five goals before New Jersey added an empty-netter to hand Ersson a 6-3 defeat. The 24-year-old netminder has dropped his last two outings following a three-game winning streak. Overall, he's 15-10-4 with an .898 save percentage and 2.64 GA this season. Ersson figures to be back between the pipes Wednesday on the road against Chicago.

He is set to make his third straight start after allowing seven goals on 51 shots (.863 save percentage) over his past two outings. New Jersey ranks ninth offensively this year with 3.34 goals per game, so the Devils will be a difficult adversary for Ersson.

Covered by Leafs Ersson made 24 saves in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs on Thursday.

Impact Auston Matthews picked him apart with a natural hat trick in a 7:49 span in the second period. And William Nylander scored the winner, going five hole in overtime. The loss snapped Ersson's three-game winning streak, but it's hard to fault him against that kind of potent offense. He is 15-9-4 with a 2.55 GAA and .900 save percentage.

Between pipes against Leafs Ersson will tend the twine versus Toronto on the road Thursday, Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports.

Impact Ersson will be making his 10th appearance in the Flyers' last 11 outings after stepping into the starting role. The 24-year-old Swede is currently riding a three-game winning streak during which he posted a 1.67 GAA and .932 save percentage. Fantasy players probably shouldn't expect Cal Petersen to steal too many starts away from Ersson the rest of the way.

FEBRUARY 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Gets win over Coyotes Ersson stopped 20 of 23 shots in Monday's 5-3 win over the Coyotes.

Impact Ersson didn't have the easiest of outings, but he did well enough to earn his third straight win thanks to a third-period surge from the Flyers. During that streak, the 24-year-old has allowed five goals on 73 shots. Ersson is up to 15-9-3 with a 2.49 GAA and a .901 save percentage through 28 appearances this season. The Flyers' defensive structure should shelter him a bit, though he'll still need to put up positive results to keep the No. 1 job.
