Puts on masterclass in shutout win Ersson made 34 saves in a 1-0 win over Detroit on Saturday.

Impact Ersson put on a masterclass Saturday, stymieing the Red Wings on several point blank chances to protect the lead. The shutout was his third in just 23 career NHL games. Ersson became the third-fastest goaltender in Flyers history to record three SOs, behind Bob Froese and Doug Favell (both did it in 14 games played). The Flyers are in good hands if Carter Hart (illness) cannot play. You would do well to have him as insurance on your squad. Coach John Tortorella has this team flying.

Rallies for shootout win Ersson turned aside 27 of 30 shots in regulation and overtime and two of three shootout attempts in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Capitals.

Impact All three Washington tallies came from right on Ersson's doorstep as the Flyers' defense had trouble keeping the front of the net free of traffic, but he came up with enough big stops to earn his fifth win in his last six starts, a stretch in which he's gone 5-0-1 with a 2.24 GAA and .917 save percentage. Carter Hart (illness) wasn't available Thursday but has also been playing well lately, so Ersson will have to be content with limited playing time barring an injury to Philly's No. 1 netminder.

Ersson has won three of his last four starts to improve his record to 3-3-1, and through five appearances in November he has a dazzling 2.09 GAA despite a merely solid .909 save percentage.

The Flyers play again Saturday against the Kings.
