Samuel Ersson - Page 3 - NHL News & Rumors

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.

In goal Friday Ersson will start Friday's road matchup against the Islanders.

Impact Ersson stopped 15 of 17 shots in Monday's 3-0 loss to Tampa Bay, with the third goal being an empty-netter. He has posted a 3-2-2 record this season while allowing 23 goals on 153 shots. The Islanders sit 21st in the league with 2.96 goals per game this campaign.

Stuck on wrong end of shutout Ersson stopped 15 of 17 shots in Monday's 3-0 loss to the Lightning, with Tampa Bay's final goal getting scored into an empty net.

Impact The 26-year-old netminder had little chance at either puck that got past him, and the Flyers' offense couldn't solve Andrei Vasilevskiy. It was Ersson's first regulation loss since Oct. 16, although he hasn't been getting consistent work as the No. 2 behind Daniel Vladar. On the season, Ersson's 3-2-2 in seven starts with a 3.14 GAA and .850 save percentage.

Tending twine Monday Ersson will patrol the road crease versus the Lightning on Monday.

Impact Ersson has allowed three or more goals in all but one of his six outings but has still managed a 3-1-2 record. Even with the wins, the Swedish netminder is sporting career-worst numbers in both GAA (3.30) and save percentage (.846) to start the year. With a back-to-back against the Islanders and Devils on Friday and Saturday, respectively, Ersson is in line to make multiple starts this week.

Ugly outing in shootout win Ersson stopped 12 of 17 shots in Friday's 6-5 shootout win over the Blues.

Impact Ersson has faced fewer than 20 shots in three of his six outings on the year, but he's yet to take advantage of light workloads, allowing a total of 12 goals on 45 shots in those games. He's shined in the shootout, which is where he's collected all three of his wins this season. The 26-year-old is 3-1-2 with a 3.30 GAA and an .846 save percentage on the year. Ersson's performance hasn't been good enough on the whole, but it looks like he'll resume splitting time with Dan Vladar in the crease after recovering from a lower-body injury. If the split is even, Vladar can be projected for Saturday's road game in Dallas while Ersson would be lined up for a rematch with the Blues in Philadelphia on Thursday.

Starting against St. Louis Ersson will defend the road crease against the Blues on Friday.

Impact Ersson has seen limited playing time in recent weeks, but he'll draw the start for the second time in the Flyers' last three games. He's been relatively effective when called upon this season, going 2-1-2 with a 3.03 GAA and .866 save percentage.

NOVEMBER 10, 2025 • NHL.COM

Barely busy in overtime loss Ersson made 10 saves in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Senators on Saturday.

Impact Yes, the 10 saves is correct, and it wasn't in relief. The Senators went to sleep and put up no shots between 12:09 of the second and 18:34 of the third -- that's a span of 25 minutes and 25 seconds. Ersson faced just seven shots after the first period. He's 2-1-2 with a 3.03 GAA and .864 save percentage in five starts this season.

Facing Senators Ersson will patrol the home crease versus Ottawa on Saturday.

Impact Ersson was activated from injured reserve Thursday, missing four games with a lower-body injury. He backed up Dan Vladar on Thursday and will make his first start since Oct, 28 when he turned aside 24 shots in a 3-2 win over Pittsburgh. The Senators are generating 3.43 goals per game this season, good for eighth in NHL scoring.

Activated from IR Ersson (lower body) was activated from injured reserve on Thursday.

Impact While Ersson is back on the Flyers' roster, Dan Vladar is expected to start Thursday in Nashville. Ersson could be back between the pipes as soon as Saturday's home matinee game versus the Senators. With Ersson healthy, it's safe to assume Aleksei Kolosov's playing time will drop, or Kolosov could be sent to AHL Lehigh Valley in a later move.

Lands on injured reserve Ersson was placed on injured reserve due to a lower-body injury Thursday.

Impact Ersson tweaked something during Wednesday's practice session, and he'll be forced to miss multiple games due to his injury. Dan Vladar should serve as the Flyers' primary netminder in Ersson's absence, while Aleksei Kolosov was recalled from AHL Lehigh Valley to provide additional depth.

OCTOBER 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Not available Thursday Ersson (undisclosed) will not play Thursday versus Nashville, Charlie O'Connor of PHLY Sports reports.

Impact Ersson 'tweaked something' according to head coach Rick Tocchet on Wednesday. The 26-year-old netminder is 2-1-1 with a 3.08 GAA and an .876 save percentage in October. He has been replaced by Dan Vladar as the Flyers' top netminder. Philadelphia recalled Aleksei Kolosov in a corresponding move to back up Vladar on Thursday.

OCTOBER 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Thursday Ersson is day-to-day after tweaking something, head coach Rick Tocchet told Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia on Wednesday.

Impact Ersson isn't expected to miss much time, but he's questionable for Thursday's home game against Nashville. The 26-year-old goaltender has a 2-1-1 record, 3.08 GAA and .876 save percentage in four appearances this season. Ersson has started in Philadelphia's last two games, and the Flyers won both of those clashes, so perhaps Philadelphia will utilize him in net again Thursday if he's healthy. In the scenario where Ersson is unavailable, then Dan Vladar will presumably get the start, and Philadelphia will recall a goaltender from the minors to serve as Vladar's understudy.

Second straight win Ersson made 24 saves in a 3-2 shootout win over Pittsburgh on Tuesday.

Impact The first goal snuck between Ersson's pad and the goal post in the first period, and the second was a pure fluke in the third. Sidney Crosby backhanded a pass from behind the net, but it hit Nick Seeler's shoulder and dropped in behind Ersson. He has now won two games in a row with five goals allowed after dropping two games to start the season with eight goals allowed. Ersson's game may be tightening up.

Gets starting nod versus Pens Ersson will be between the pipes for Tuesday's home clash with Pittsburgh.

Impact Ersson seems to have fallen behind Dan Vladar on the Flyers' depth chart but will be making consecutive starts for the first time this year. In his three outings this year, the 26-year-old Ersson is sporting a 1-1-1 record to go with a .861 save percentage. With an upcoming back-to-back, Ersson should get another start against either Toronto or Calgary on Saturday or Sunday, respectively.
