Starting against Flames Ersson will guard the road goal versus the Flames on Sunday.

Impact Ersson allowed one goal on 19 shots in his previous outing versus the Canucks, but he exited the game due to dehydration. He was healthy enough to serve as backup versus the Kraken on Friday, and he'll now be between the pipes again Sunday. Ersson has played well lately, going 13 games without allowing more than three goals with a 9-3-1 record in that span.

Serves as backup Thursday Ersson (illness) was the backup goalie in Friday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Kraken.

Impact Ersson left Thursday's game versus the Canucks after allowing one goal on 19 shots, and it was later reported he was dehydrated. The issue didn't linger for the 24-year-old, as he was able to dress for Friday's game, though he didn't see any action. Ersson has won four of his last five outings and could push Carter Hart for playing time heading into the new year.

DECEMBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sustains undisclosed injury Ersson exited Thursday's game against Vancouver early in the third period due to an undisclosed injury.

Impact Ersson saved 18 of 19 shots in 42:36 of ice time before having to leave the contest. Carter Hart drew into the game as a result. The Flyers are set to play in Seattle on Friday and while Hart will likely start in that contest regardless, if Ersson isn't available, then Philadelphia will need to summon a goaltender from the minors to serve as the backup.

DECEMBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starting in Vancouver Ersson will defend the road net in Vancouver on Thursday.

Impact Ersson saw his three-game winning streak come to an end a week ago versus Nashville, as he gave up three goals on 30 shots in a 4-2 loss. Overall, Ersson is 8-4-2 with a 2.56 GAA and an .899 save percentage. He will have a tough matchup versus the Canucks, who lead the NHL in goals with 135.

DECEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Strong performance in loss Ersson made 28 saves in a 4-2 loss to Nashville on Thursday. He allowed three goals.

Impact Ersson has been on a tear lately with Carter Hart sidelined with illness. He's 3-1-1 with one shutout in his last five starts (Dec. 12-21) and with just 11 goals allowed. After allowing 12 goals in his first two games to start the season, Ersson has dug in and hasn't allowed more than three in a game the rest of the way. So his .899 save percentage is yanked down because of those two bad games. But when you look under the hood, Ersson might be the future in the Flyers net. Keeper and dynasty managers would be wise to inquire about his services before his manager figures out that his game has taken a leap.

Ersson is 8-3-2 with a 2.51 GAA and an .899 save percentage this season and is 7-0-1 in his last eight games. Nashville is 17th in NHL scoring, averaging 3.13 goals per game.

Earns OT win Ersson stopped 24 of 26 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime victory over Devils.

Impact Making a fourth straight start after Carter Hart (illness) was a late scratch, Ersson held the Devils to single goals in the first and second periods en route to a third consecutive win.

Starting in New Jersey Ersson will guard the road goal Tuesday against the Devils.

He has posted a 7-3-2 record this season with a 2.57 GAA and an .897 save percentage over 12 outings. The Devils sit seven in the league this campaign with 3.48 goals per contest.
