Starting against Washington Ersson will start Thursday's road game against the Capitals.

Impact Ersson has hit a rough patch recently, going 1-3-1 with a 4.57 GAA and .827 save percentage over his last six appearances. He could have trouble bouncing back Thursday, as the Capitals lead the league with 3.63 goals per game this season.

Allows five goals in loss Ersson stopped 25 of 30 shots on goal in Saturday's 5-0 loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact Ersson conceded four goals at even strength and one on a Carolina power play. However, the 25-year-old netminder received no help offensively as Philadelphia was shut out. With the loss, Ersson has a 19-13-4 record with a 3.02 GAA and a .886 save percentage. The first half of March has been rough for Ersson with a 1-3-0 record, 19 goals allowed and a .833 save percentage in five appearances. We've seen stronger stretches of play from Philadelphia's top goaltender this season, but he is a risky play in fantasy for the time being. Ersson's next opportunity to guard the crease is Monday against the Lightning.

Impact The line of Mark Scheifele, Kyle Connor and Gabriel Vilardi owned Ersson -- they combined for eight points, including one PPG and four PPA. Ersson played well, but his team was listless -- they didn't get on the board until the 17:18 mark of the third period. He can't win by himself.
