Ersson (lower body) took part in the Flyers' game-day skate but won't be in action versus the Lightning, Jackie Spiegel of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. - Ersson seems to be trending in the right direction, which could leave the door open for him to play versus the Panthers on Saturday. Still, with both Aleksei Kolosov and Ivan Fedotov available, the team doesn't need to rush Ersson back into the crease. It will be Kolosov who gets the nod for Thursday's matchup with Tampa Bay. |

Ersson (lower body) is traveling with the Flyers and spent some time on the ice in full gear Tuesday, per Jackie Spiegel of The Philadelphia Inquirer. - Ersson isn't expected to play in Tuesday's road tilt versus Carolina, but joining the Flyers on their trip opens the door to him potentially playing Thursday in Tampa Bay or Saturday's road game against the Panthers. He has a 4-2-1 record, 2.68 GAA and .901 save percentage in nine appearances in 2024-25. Aleksei Kolosov is set to start Tuesday, and Ivan Fedotov is projected to serve as the backup netminder. |

Ersson stopped 20 shots in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Blues. - Neither goalie was particularly busy in a tight-checking affair, but Ersson was just a little bit sharper than Jordan Binnington. The Flyers' No. 1 netminder has won three straight starts to boost his record to 4-2-1 in eight appearances, and while Ersson's 2.73 GAA and .897 save percentage aren't elite, they're significantly better than Ivan Fedotov's 5.35 GAA and .821 save percentage. |

Reason turned aside 25 of 29 shots faced during Tuesday's 4-1 home loss to the Capitals. - Ersson was hung out to dry by the Flyers' special teams, which conceded two short-handed goals in the first period. The 25-year-old has surrendered three or more goals in each of his last three starts for the rebuilding Flyers, making him difficult to trust from a fantasy perspective even if he does garner the bulk of the starter's workload. |

Ersson made 29 saves in a 3-0 loss to the Canucks on Saturday. - It was horror on ice for the Flyers, who were outclassed in every area of the ice except in the net. Ersson was the best Flyer on the ice, but one man cannot win a game. He's 1-1-1 with a 2.99 GAA and .894 save percentage, and unfortunately for fantasy managers, those stats aren't likely to improve much this season. |

Ersson is slated to start at home Saturday versus Vancouver, per Charlie O'Connor of PHLY Sports. - Ivan Fedotov will get the nod for Thursday's road game versus Seattle before Ersson receives his next assignment. The 24-year-old Ersson has a 1-0-1 record, 2.86 GAA and .895 save percentage in two contests this season. Neither Philadelphia goaltender entered the campaign with a firm hold on the starting gig, so the job is open for either to grab if they start doing well. So far, Fedotov and Ersson both have plenty to prove. |

Ersson will be in goal on the road against Edmonton on Tuesday, Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports. - Ersson will face a struggling Oilers squad that has managed just three goals through its opening three games. Edmonton is expected to put Leon Draisaitl on the top line with Connor McDavid in order to get some offense. Still, even with the opposition struggling, this won't be an easy road clash for the 24-year-old backstop. |

Head coach John Tortorella said before Friday's road game against Vancouver that Ersson will serve as the Flyers' starting goalie. - Ersson was inconsistent during the 2023-24 campaign after taking over as Philadelphia's primary goaltender, and he posted a 23-19-7 record, 2.82 GAA and .890 save percentage over 51 regular-season appearances. The 24-year-old will draw the Opening Night start this year, but Ivan Fedotov could push for playing time if Ersson struggles at some point. |

Ersson stopped 30 of 32 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 preseason loss to the Bruins. - The 24-year-old netminder battled to a 1-1 tie through two periods, but Ersson gave up a power-play tally to Tyler Johnson midway through the third, and Boston then piled on two empty-netters after he left the crease. Ersson had a roller-coaster 2023-24 campaign once he took over as the Flyers' starter, winning a career-high 23 games but posting a 2.82 GAA and .890 save percentage. While he heads into the current season at the top of the depth chart, he could face a stiff challenge from Ivan Fedotov if the towering Russian adapts quickly to the speed of the NHL. |

Ersson will protect the road net in Tuesday's preseason game versus the Bruins. - Ersson is set for his second start of the preseason. He should be considered the Flyers' top goalie to begin 2024-25, though he'll face pressure from Ivan Fedotov and perhaps Aleksei Kolosov to keep that spot. |

Ersson will be between the pipes at home versus the Islanders on Thursday, Bill Meltzer of NHL.com reports. - Ersson saw action in 51 games last season in which he posted a 23-19-7 record, 2.82 GAA and four shutouts. With Ivan Fedotov having signed a new contract in the offseason, the 24-year-old Ersson will face significant pressure to maintain the top job in the City of Brotherly Love. As such, it seems unlikely Ersson will get back over the 50-game mark this upcoming season. |

Ersson turned aside 13 of 15 shots in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Canadiens, with Montreal's final two goals getting scored into an empty net. - The 24-year-old netminder wasn't busy, but the Habs took advantage of their chances -- both pucks that beat Ersson came from in close, as the Flyers' defense gave Nick Suzuki and Jesse Ylonen a little too much space in front of the net.

Ersson turned aside 21 shots in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Rangers. - After a scoreless first period, the game began to get away from both netminders, and what looked like it might be a goaltending duel between Ersson and Igor Shesterkin turned into a barn burner. The six goals were the most Ersson had given up since he got beaten seven times by the Ducks on Oct. 28, but the performance continues a shaky March for the Flyers rookie. Over 10 outings on the month, he's gone 4-3-3 with a 3.48 GAA and .876 save percentage. Philly is now only one point up on Washington for third place in the Metropolitan Division, and three points up on Detroit for the final wild-card berth in the Eastern Conference. |

Ersson will defend the road crease in Tampa Bay on Saturday, Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports. - Ersson has been great over the last six games, going 3-2-1 with a sensational 1.99 GAA and a .917 save percentage. Overall, Ersson is 18-12-5 for the surprisingly competitive Flyers.

Ersson turned aside 29 shots in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Panthers. - Gustav Forsling snuck a shot past him through heavy traffic in the second period, but otherwise Ersson had an answer for everything Florida fired at him. The 24-year-old netminder has allowed two goals or less in five of his last six starts, a stretch in which he's posted a 1.99 GAA and .917 save percentage with a 3-2-1 record, and Ersson needs two more victories for his first career 20-win campaign. |

It's the third time in his last six starts that the 24-year-old goalie has allowed at least four goals, a stretch in which he's gone 2-3-1 with a 3.19 GAA and an .878 save percentage. With Philly back in action Saturday against Ottawa, Felix Sandstrom seems likely to get the nod between the pipes. |

Ersson made 21 saves in Wednesday's 3-1 win over Chicago. - The 24-year-old netminder got beaten by Colin Blackwell midway through the first period, but Ersson shut the door the rest of the way.

Ersson figures to be back between the pipes Wednesday on the road against Chicago. |

Ersson stopped 15 of 19 shots in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Lightning. - Tampa Bay's final two tallies were scored into an empty net. While Ersson's save percentage on the night was poor, two of the pucks that beat him came while the Flyers were shorthanded, and a third found the back of the net a split second after another Bolts power play had just ended. With Carter Hart (personal) away from the team indefinitely, Ersson is locked into the top job in the crease for Philadelphia -- a spot the 24-year-old has earned by posting a 2.25 GAA and .916 save percentage over 15 appearances since the beginning of December. |

Ersson made 14 saves in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Stars. - The 24-year-old netminder saw his shutout bid slip away in the second period on a Tyler Seguin tally, but Ersson otherwise shut down what little offense Dallas could muster. He's won three straight starts and has taken just one regulation loss since Christmas, going 4-1-1 with a dazzling 1.55 GAA and .939 save percentage. Ersson's strong play has pushed him into a timeshare with Carter Hart. If Ersson stays hot, he could claim the top job in the Philly crease, as Hart has a 2.82 GAA and .908 save percentage during that same period. |
