Samuel Ersson - NHL News & Rumors

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.

Set to start Wednesday Ersson is expected to start in Wednesday's road tilt against Detroit.

Impact Ersson has a 6-4-2 record, 2.87 GAA and .891 save percentage in 14 appearances in 2024-25. He has allowed at least three goals in each of his past five starts. Detroit ranks 27th in goals per game with 2.57.

Overwhelmed by Wild men Ersson made 19 saves in a 4-1 loss to Minnesota on Saturday.

Impact Ersson is the lead goalie in a three-headed monster in Philly. He has started 13 games, with Ivan Fedotov starting 10 and Aleksei Kolosov getting the call eight times. Three-headed monsters rarely deliver fantasy value, and that's certainly the case for Ersson. He does have a 6-4-2 record, and his 2.87 GAA is the best of the trio. But his team leading .891 save percentage is abysmal. The Flyers are within reach of a Wild Card spot, and Ersson's fantasy merit could rise if coach John Tortorella can keep them flying.

Solid night against Columbus Ersson made 15 saves in a 5-3 win over Columbus on Tuesday.

Impact Ersson is 2-1-0 in his last three games, but he's allowed 10 goals in that span. Still, it was a solid performance Tuesday. Overall, he's 6-3-2 with a 2.85 GAA and .893 save percentage. Aleksei Kolosov and Ivan Fedotov are also on the roster, but Ersson will keep his hands on the reins as long as he continues to deliver.

Drawing road start Ersson will be between the pipes Tuesday against the Blue Jackets, according to Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers.

Impact Ersson allowed four goals on 25 shots in his return to the lineup Sunday versus Utah after missing 11 games with a lower-body injury. The Flyers are currently carrying three goalies on their roster, and it remains unclear if that will continue now that Ersson is healthy. Either way, Ersson appears to be the No. 1 option in net for Philadelphia at, as he'll make back-to-back starts. The Blue Jackets rank 7th in the NHL with 3.41 goals per game through 27 contests.

Loses in return Ersson stopped 21 of 25 shots in Sunday's 4-2 loss to Utah.

Impact Ersson missed 11 games due to a lower-body injury. The 25-year-old netminder had a good first period, but Utah put up three goals in the second and Kevin Stenlund iced the game with a shorthanded tally in the third. Ersson is down to 5-3-2 with a 2.83 GAA and an .897 save percentage through 12 contests. He functioned as the Flyers' starter to begin 2024-25, but with Aleksei Kolosov and Ivan Fedotov improving their play in Ersson's absence, the Philadelphia crease figures to be a messy one in the short term. It's unclear which goalie will start Tuesday's road game at Columbus.

Returns to crease Sunday Ersson will patrol the home crease versus Utah on Sunday, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Impact Following an 11-game absence due to a lower-body injury, Ersson will be back between the pipes for the Flyers. He has a 5-2-2 record with one shutout, a 2.70 GAA and a .902 save percentage through 11 appearances this season. Ersson will get the second half of the team's back-to-back after Aleksei Kolosov played in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to Boston. Utah ranks 21st in the league with 2.88 goals per game and earned a 5-2 victory over Buffalo on Saturday.

Removed from IR Ersson (lower body) was activated from injured reserve Sunday, according to Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia.

Impact Ersson could get the nod in Sunday's home game versus Utah after missing the last 11 contests. He has a 5-2-2 record with one shutout, a 2.70 GAA and a .902 save percentage through 11 appearances this season.

DECEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Practices Monday Ersson (lower body) participated in Monday's practice, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Impact Ersson hasn't played since Nov. 11 versus San Jose after tweaking a previous injury during a Nov. 13 practice. Monday's on-ice session was his first with his teammates since his return to the sidelines. He could be ready to play as early as Thursday's home game against Florida. He has a 5-2-2 record with one shutout, a 2.70 GAA and a .902 save percentage in 11 appearances this season.

Travels with team Ersson (lower body) traveled with the Flyers for Saturday's game in St. Louis, Jackie Spiegel of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Ersson didn't play, but it's impressive he traveled for the road game, which was the second half of a back-to-back. The 25-year-old has been out since Nov. 11, and he's already exceeded his 1-2 return timeline established in mid-November. Improved performances from Aleksei Kolosov and Ivan Fedotov have allowed the Flyers to take their time with Ersson's return, so he may not return to a No. 1 role once he's activated from injured reserve.

Unavailable Friday Ersson (lower body) will miss his eighth straight game Friday, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Impact Ersson partook in Friday's morning skate, so he is getting close to a return. Ersson was injured at practice over two weeks ago. Ersson is 5-2-2- with a 2.70 GAA and a .902 save percentage in 11 appearances this season. He is day-to-day ahead of Saturday's tilt in St. Louis.

NOVEMBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Not playing Saturday Ersson (lower body) will not play versus Chicago on Saturday, according to Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia.

Impact Ersson practiced Saturday and is getting close to a return. The 25-year-old netminder was injured at practice 10 days ago. He is 5-2-2 with a 2.70 GAA and a .902 save percentage this season. He could return as early as Monday versus Vegas.

NOVEMBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

Considered day-to-day The Flyers announced Wednesday that Ersson (lower body), who remains on injured reserve, is considered day-to-day.

Impact Ersson tweaked a lower-body injury at practice last Wednesday, and it's encouraging to see him deemed day-to-day after he initially carried a return timetable of 1-2 weeks. It's not yet clear when the 25-year-old netminder will be able to return to game action, but he seems to be progressing well in his recovery.

NOVEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Surfaces on IR Ersson (lower body) was put on injured reserve Sunday, per the NHL media site.

Impact Following a 28-save effort in a 4-3 shootout win over San Jose on Monday, Ersson tweaked a previous injury and received a 1-2 week timeline for his recovery. His move to IR will free up a roster spot for the Flyers to bring up a defenseman because of injuries to Cam York (upper body), Emil Andrae (undisclosed) and Jamie Drysdale (upper body).

NOVEMBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Slated to miss time Ersson reinjured his previous lower-body issue and is expected to be out for 1-2 weeks, Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports Friday.

Impact Ersson's timeline would see him miss at least the Flyers' next three contests, though it sounds like it could be longer. Given that recovery timeline, it wouldn't be a shock to see the team designate the netminder for injured reserve. Look for Ivan Fedotov to get the bulk of the workload for the time being -- though Aleksei Kolosov should be in contention as well.
