APRIL 3 • NHL.COM

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

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.

Flyers outlast Kings 4-3 in shootout for their 4th victory in 5 games

Trevor Zegras and Matvei Michkov scored in a shootout to give the Philadelphia Flyers their fourth victory in five games, 4-3 over the Los Angeles Kings on Thursday night

MARCH 20 • Associated Press

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.

MARCH 19 • ROTOWIRE

Secures win over Capitals Ersson stopped 21 of 22 shots in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Capitals.

Impact Ersson has won his last two starts, and he's allowed just three goals on 49 shots over his three appearances since the Olympic break. The 26-year-old's improved play could make the Flyers more comfortable with giving Dan Vladar the occasional rest. Ersson is up to 10-10-5 with a 3.30 GAA and an .863 save percentage over 27 appearances, so he still carries some risk. Expect Vladar to get the nod for Thursday's road game in Minnesota.

MARCH 12 • NHL.COM

Slated to face Washington Ersson is expected to start at home against Washington on Wednesday, per Charlie O'Connor of PHLY Sports.

Impact Ersson is making his first start since Feb. 26, but he did stop the three shots he faced in a relief appearance Monday. The 26-year-old has a 9-10-5 record, 3.40 GAA and .859 save percentage in 26 outings in 2025-26. Washington is coming off a 7-3 victory over Calgary on Monday, which ended the Capitals' three-game losing streak and brought the team's record up to 32-26-7.

MARCH 11 • ROTOWIRE

Needed in relief Monday Ersson turned aside all three shots he faced after replacing Dan Vladar to begin the third period of Monday's 6-2 loss to the Rangers.

Impact New York took its foot off the gas over the final 20 minutes, so Ersson was relatively unchallenged during his relief outing. The 26-year-old netminder has made only three appearances since Vladar returned in late January from a lower-body injury, giving up seven goals on 47 starts in that time, but Ersson should get a start during a back-to-back set this week, either Wednesday against the Capitals at home or Thursday on the road in Minnesota.

MARCH 10 • Associated Press

Earns win Thursday Ersson stopped 23 of 25 shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Rangers.

Impact Ersson protected the Flyers' crease for the first time since Jan. 29, when he gave up five goals on 20 shots in a loss to the Bruins, but he did a good job this time out. It was Ersson's first win since Jan. 23, but he should revert to his regular backup role behind Dan Vladar when the Flyers take on the Bruins on Saturday.

Expected to start Thursday Ersson is set to start on the road against the Rangers on Thursday.

Impact Ersson has an 8-10-5 record, 3.51 GAA and .856 save percentage in 24 outings in 2025-26. He was struggling before the Olympic break, allowing 17 goals on 105 shots (.838 save percentage) across his past four appearances. However, the Rangers are also going through tough times. New York is 3-13-2 while averaging 2.61 goals per game across its past 18 matches.

Ready to return Ersson (lower body) will serve as the backup goaltender for Wednesday's road game against Washington.

Impact Ersson missed Philadelphia's final three games before the Olympic break due to the injury. Dan Vladar is set to start against the Capitals. Ersson has an 8-10-5 record, 3.51 GAA and .856 save percentage in 24 outings in 2025-26.

FEBRUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Out until after break Ersson (lower body) will not be available Thursday against the Senators and should return after the Olympic break, according to Charlie O'Connor of PHLY Sports.

Impact Ersson managed to participate at practice Thursday, but won't be part of the Philadelphia lineup Thursday versus Ottawa. He will miss his third straight game. Ersson is 8-10-5 with a 3.51 GAA and an .856 GAA across 24 appearances this season.

FEBRUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Not available Tuesday Ersson (lower body) will not be in the lineup for Tuesday's clash with Washington, per NHL.com.

Impact Ersson went 2-4-1 with a 3.97 GAA in his last eight outings prior to suffering his lower-body injury. With the 26-year-old netminder on the shelf, Aleksei Kolosov figures to serve as the No. 2 option behind Dan Vladar on Tuesday. At this point, Ersson may struggle to secure regular opportunities behind Vladar even once given the all-clear.

FEBRUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Out of action Saturday Ersson (lower body) will miss Saturday's tilt versus Los Angeles, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Impact Ersson was injured Thursday against the Bruins. Dan Vladar will start Saturday with Aleksei Kolosov, who was recalled earlier in the day from AHL Lehigh Valley, backing up Vladar. Consider Ersson day-to-day at this time.
