Samuel Ersson - Page 7 - NHL News & Rumors

Gets early hook against Calgary Ersson gave up three goals on five shots before being replaced by Ivan Fedotov midway through the first period of Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Flames.

Impact While Ersson had little chance on the first tally, the netminder got a clean look at Nazem Kadri's shot from faceoff circle and then let Connor Zary sneak a puck past him from a sharp angle, prompting coach John Tortorella to give him the hook. Ersson did avoid the loss however, as the first goal Fedotov gave up proved to be the game-winner for Calgary. It's the fourth time in his last six outings that Ersson has allowed at least three goals, a stretch in which he's gone 3-0-2 despite a mediocre 3.23 GAA and .884 save percentage.

At this point, it seems the Flyers will continue to primarily utilize Ersson in the blue paint, with Ivan Fedotov and Aleksei Kolosov limited to back-to-backs.
