Samuel Ersson - Page 3 - NHL News & Rumors

Leaves Thursday's game Ersson (lower body) won't return to Thursday's game versus the Bruins.

Impact Ersson allowed five goals on 20 shots in two periods of action. It's unclear when the injury occurred. Dan Vladar took over in goal and will likely handle the bulk of the goaltending duties for as long as Ersson is out.

Set to face Boston Ersson is set to start on the road against Boston on Thursday.

Impact Ersson has allowed at least three goals in five of his past six outings. He's 8-9-5 with a 3.39 GAA and an .860 save percentage in 23 appearances this season. He'll be up against the red-hot Bruins, who are 11-2-1 across their past 13 outings while averaging 4.00 goals per game over that span.

Gets no help in loss Ersson stopped 19 of 23 shots in Monday's 4-0 loss to the Islanders.

Impact Ersson was playing in his seventh straight game. The Flyers' offense did him no favors, though Ersson wasn't that good either. He's 2-3-1 with 21 goals allowed on 157 shots during his recent stretch of increased work. For the season, he's at an 8-9-5 record with a 3.39 GAA and an .860 save percentage over 23 appearances. Dan Vladar (lower body) is close to a return, at which point Ersson would slip back into the backup role. Ersson is still likely to start at least one of the next two games, either Wednesday in Columbus or Thursday in Boston.

Between pipes against Islanders Ersson was the first goalie off during Monday's morning skate, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports, indicating that he'll draw the home start against the Islanders.

Impact Ersson has had mixed results over his last four starts, going 2-1-1 with a 3.08 GAA and .893 save percentage. He's made a pair of starts against the Islanders this year -- one at home and one on the road -- and he posted a 2.77 GAA and .895 save percentage across those outings, both of which were shootout wins.

Bounces back Friday Ersson stopped 32 of 35 shots in Friday's 7-3 win over the Avalanche.

Impact Ersson was facing a difficult matchup against one of the best teams in the league, but he earned the win while posting a save percentage above .910 just for the second time since Dec. 23. Ersson should remain as the Flyers' No. 1 netminder for the time being, but he's going to return to a backup role once Dan Vladar (lower body) returns. Ersson hasn't taken advantage of the opportunity, as he's gone 2-2-1 with a 3.48 GAA and an .873 save percentage over his last six starts.

Exits ice first Friday Ersson was the first goalie to leave the ice Friday, Charlie O'Connor of PHLY Sports reports, indicating he'll be between the pipes on the road versus Colorado.

Impact Ersson will make his sixth straight appearance in the crease, having gone 1-2-1 in his last five outings with a 3.60 GAA and .859 save percentage. While the 26-year-old backstop continues to see the bulk of the workload for the Flyers, the impending return of Dan Vladar (lower body) figures to see Ersson relegated to the back-up role once again.

Beaten five times Wednesday Ersson stopped 22 of 27 shots in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Mammoth.

Impact Ersson was beaten twice in the second period, twice more in the third, and later midway through overtime. He's been slumping of late and has lost in four of his six outings in January, going 1-3-1 with a 4.30 GAA and a disappointing .828 save percentage. Ersson isn't in danger of losing his starting role, but fantasy managers would be wise to look at other options between the pipes given how much the 26-year-old Swede has been struggling in recent weeks.

Guarding road goal Ersson is set to start on the road against Utah on Wednesday.

Impact Ersson will attempt to replicate his 2-1 victory over Vegas on Monday. He stopped 24 of 25 shots in that win, which gives him a 7-8-4 record, 3.30 GAA and .860 save percentage in 20 outings this season. Utah is 7-1-1 in its past nine outings while averaging 3.78 goals per game in that span.

JANUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Back in win column Monday Ersson turned aside 24 of 25 shots on net in Monday's 2-1 win over the Golden Knights.

Impact Ersson earned his first win since Dec. 23 in an effort where he made multiple key saves en route to the road victory. With the win, the 26-year-old goalie is up to a 7-8-4 record with a 3.30 GAA and an .860 save percentage across 20 appearances this season. While the 2025-26 season has been the worst of his four at the NHL level, he is trending in the right direction and is in line for more opportunities with Dan Vladar (lower body) on injured reserve. Another 20-plus win season might be off the table for Ersson, but Monday's win could spark a decent stretch of play for him, making him an intriguing streaming option in fantasy for the time being. With current backup Aleksei Kolosov struggling, Ersson could be in line to draw an appearance in his fifth straight game during Wednesday's road matchup in Utah.

Expected to start Monday Ersson is set to start on the road against Vegas on Monday.

Impact Ersson is struggling, going 0-2-0 with a 4.32 GAA and an .830 save percentage across his past three appearances. Although this has also been a rough campaign for him overall -- he's 6-8-4 with a 3.43 GAA and an .855 save percentage in 19 outings. Vegas has won its past seven games to improve to 24-11-12 on the season, and the Golden Knights have scored at least six goals in three of their past four games, so it doesn't look like things are going to get any easier for Ersson on Monday.

Struggles far too real Ersson made 22 saves in relief in a 6-3 loss to the Rangers on Saturday.

Impact Starter Aleksei Kolosov allowed three goals on three shots in a 1:20 span in the first period. Unfortunately, Ersson took the loss. The Flyers are on a six-game losing streak (0-5-1), and they have been outscored 31-12. Ersson is 0-4-0 with 15 goals allowed during this run. He needs to stay on your bench until his team collects their thoughts...

Pulled in second period Ersson allowed three goals on 14 shots before being replaced in the second period of Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Penguins.

Impact Aleksei Kolosov replaced him. It was hardly Ersson's fault that his team was down 3-1 at the time. The Pens had ripped home two power-play goals in the first, and the Flyers were running around at bad angles. Ersson was pressed into duty after Dan Vladar suffered an undisclosed injury in Wednesday's game. Ersson's last win was Dec. 23. He's 0-3-0 with 17 goals allowed in four starts since.

Starting against Pittsburgh Ersson will start Thursday's road game against Pittsburgh.

Impact Ersson has taken losses in each of his last three outings, but he'll draw the start Thursday after Dan Vladar (undisclosed) exited Wednesday's game against the Sabres. It's not yet clear when Vladar will return to action, but Ersson will likely serve as the Flyers' No. 1 netminder if Vladar misses time, while Aleksei Kolosov was also called up Thursday.

JANUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Takes loss in relief Ersson turned aside six of eight shots after replacing Dan Vladar (undisclosed) in the first period Wednesday, taking the loss as the Flyers fell 5-2 to the Sabres.

Impact It was a rough night for Philly's defense overall, and Ersson got stuck with his third straight loss when Jack Quinn's tally early in the second period proved to be the game-winner. The 26-year-old netminder has only one win in his last eight outings, going 1-5-2 with a 3.75 GAA and .840 save percentage over that stretch, but he'll likely take over as the Flyers' No. 1 in the crease for as long as Vladar is sidelined.

Swarmed by killer bees Ersson made 16 saves in a 7-2 loss to Tampa Bay on Saturday.

Impact Ersson was swarmed by killer bees on Saturday, and his coach wasn't about to bail him out. He has lost two straight games with 12 goals allowed (total) in that span. And he's 1-4-2 in his last seven (27 goals allowed). Ersson, who is 6-6-4 with a 3.33 GAA and .858 save percentage in 16 starts, is going to continue to take a back seat to Dan Vladar, whose 16-6-4 record, 2.35 GAA and .910 save percentage are stellar.

Impact Ersson has one victory in his last six appearances (1-3-2) while allowing 20 goals on 150 shots. He has a 6-5-4 record this season with a 3.09 GAA and an .868 save percentage across 15 appearances. Tampa Bay ranks second in the league with 3.45 goals per game this campaign.
