Samuel Ersson - Page 9 - NHL News & Rumors

Posts 22-save shutout Ersson recorded 22 saves in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Ducks.

Impact Ersson was coming off a subpar display in the 4-1 loss to Dallas on Thursday, but he bounced back admirably to record his second shutout over his last three appearances. He also accomplished this feat in the 4-0 win over the Sharks, albeit in that game, he only needed to make 15 saves. Ersson has gone 10-7-2 with a 2.86 GAA and a .888 save percentage across 21 appearances this season.

Tending twine Saturday Ersson will defend the home crease versus Anaheim on Saturday, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Impact Ersson has given up only four goals on 70 shots in his last three appearances. He is 9-7-2 with a 3.02 GAA and an .883 save percentage this season. The Ducks are averaging only 2.51 goals per game in 2024-25.

Hung out to dry Thursday Ersson turned aside 19 of 22 shots in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Stars, with Dallas' final tally getting scored into an empty net.

Impact Making his return from a lower-body injury that had sidelined Ersson for the prior three games, the 25-year-old goalie was left to fend for himself by the Philly defense -- two of Dallas' tallies came on deflections from players parked right outside his crease, while the third was scored on a 3-on-1 rush in the second period. Ersson has looked good since Christmas despite the struggles of the team in front of him, allowing four goals on 70 shots (.943 save percentage) over his last three outings, but he'd stumbled to a 4.26 GAA and .810 save percentage in the six appearances before that. Ersson is still holding on to the No. 1 job in the Flyers' crease over Aleksei Kolosov and Ivan Fedotov, but his grip isn't a firm one.

Between pipes Thursday Ersson (lower body) will return to action versus Dallas on Thursday, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Impact Ersson had missed the previous three games with the injury. The 25-year-old netminder was 3-1-0 with a 2.95 GAA and an .885 save percentage in four games prior to being hurt. He will have a tough matchup at home versus the Stars, who are averaging 3.26 goals per game in 2024-25.

Remains unavailable Ersson (lower body) will not be an option against Toronto on Tuesday but is not expected out long term, Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports.

Impact Ersson will be out of action for his third straight game due to his lower-body issue. Prior to getting hurt, the Swedish netminder appeared to be finding his stride, going 3-1-0 with a 2.95 GAA in his last four outings, including a shutout victory over the Sharks. With Ersson still out, Ivan Fedotov will get the nod Tuesday.

Out Sunday Ersson (lower body) is out Sunday against the Maple Leafs.

Impact Ersson will miss a second straight game after suffering a lower-body injury in a win Tuesday over San Jose. Ivan Fedotov will get the start Sunday against Toronto.

Dealing with lower-body injury Ersson is day-to-day with a lower-body injury after leaving Tuesday's game versus the Sharks.

Impact Ersson has already been sidelined on two other occasions by lower-body issues this season, so this is not a positive update. Aleksei Kolosov and Ivan Fedotov will handle the goaltending duties until Ersson is cleared to play again, beginning with Thursday's game in Vegas.

Departs after two periods Ersson (undisclosed) left Tuesday's game versus the Sharks after the second period, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Impact Ersson had stopped all 15 shots he faced over the first two frames, so he's likely dealing with something. Aleksei Kolosov took over in goal for the third and would likely operate as the No. 1 netminder if Ersson is forced to miss time. The Flyers' road trip continues Thursday versus the Golden Knights. They won't need to call up another goalie, as Ivan Fedotov is already on the NHL roster.

Draws start versus San Jose Ersson will patrol the road crease against the Sharks on Tuesday.

Impact Ersson was fantastic in his last start, turning aside 32 of 33 shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over Philadelphia. The Swedish netminder has been subpar overall in December, though, having posted a 3-4-0 record, .843 save percentage and 3.79 GAA through seven appearances. San Jose has put up 2.69 goals per game this season, which ranks 24th in the NHL.

Earns win vs. Anaheim Ersson stopped 32 of 33 shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Ducks,

Impact Ersson took advantage of a favorable matchup Saturday and notched this third win over his last seven appearances since returning from a lower-body injury on Dec. 8. Record aside, this was one of Ersson's best outings of the entire season, and it marked the first time since Nov. 11 -- and the first time since returning from the aforementioned injury -- that he was able to record a save percentage above the .910 mark.

Starting Saturday Ersson will protect the road goal versus the Ducks on Saturday, Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports.

Impact Ersson has gone 2-4-0 with a 4.28 GAA and an .810 save percentage over six games since he returned from a lower-body injury. He'll look to get back on track after the holiday break, and he has a favorable matchup to do so against the Ducks, who have averaged just 2.42 goals per game.

Yanked after two frames Ersson was pulled after allowing five goals on 14 shots in the first two periods of Monday's 7-3 loss to the Penguins.

Impact He was replaced by Aleksei Kolosov, who stopped six-of-seven shots in relief. The Flyers showed no fight Monday, and Ersson was left to fend off the flightless birds on his own. The Pens scored four times in the first period, including two with the man advantage. The Flyers have struggled with discipline, and their penalty kill hasn't been good enough. They are 3-6-1 over their last 10 games, and they have a minus-22 goal differential. Put simply, Ersson is a risk in your fantasy net.

Draws start against Penguins Ersson will defend the road crease against the Penguins on Monday.

Impact Ersson earned the overtime win over the Blue Jackets on Saturday despite turning aside just 21 of 25 shots (.840 save percentage). The 25-year-old hasn't been particularly effective since returning from a lower-body injury, going 2-3-0 with a 3.85 GAA and .830 save percentage over his last five starts.

Holds on for overtime win Ersson stopped 21 of 25 shots in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.

Impact The Flyers rallied from three deficits in the third period, and then Owen Tippett completed the comeback at 3:30 of overtime. This was Ersson's second win in five starts since he came back from a lower-body injury. The 25-year-old has allowed 19 goals in that span despite facing no more than 25 shots in any of those games. Ersson is up to 7-5-2 with a 3.09 GAA and an .881 save percentage through 16 appearances. He's still atop the depth chart in goal, though his poor recent performance should allowed Aleksei Kolosov to see a decent share of playing time in the backup role. Ivan Fedotov also remains on the NHL roster, making the Flyers' crease a crowded one, and one to avoid in fantasy.

Tending twine Saturday Ersson will be between the home pipes versus Columbus on Saturday, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Impact Ersson has struggled since returning from a lower-body injury that cost him 11 games. He is 1-3-0 since his return, allowing 15 goals on only 87 shots (.828 save percentage). His lone win was against Saturday's opponent as the Blue Jackets managed only 18 shots on goal in a 5-3 loss Dec. 10. Columbus is a surprising 10th in NHL scoring during the 2024-25 campaign, averaging 3.24 goals per game.

Stumbles in Detroit Ersson stopped 18 of 23 shots in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Red Wings, with Detroit's final goal getting scored into an empty net.

Impact The five goals allowed tied Ersson's season high, and the 25-year-old netminder has yet to rediscover the form he was flashing prior to getting hurt in November. In four starts since his return from a lower-body injury, he's gone 1-3-0 with a 3.86 GAA and miserable .828 save percentage. Aleksei Kolosov and Ivan Fedotov may begin to see more work again if Ersson doesn't turn things around quickly.
