Samuel Ersson News

The Flyers will turn to Ersson for his second start of the season when they visit the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday. The 24-year-old Ersson was excellent in the Flyers season opener, his only start of the season thus far, saving 24 of 26 shots (.923 SV%) in a 3-2 win over the Vancouver Canucks. Ersson started a career-high 49 games last season (23-19-7) and could rival those totals this season. The Flyers enter action on Tuesday as +176 road underdogs against an Oilers club that has only scored three times in their first three games (0-3-0).

The 24-year-old will have to fend off newcomer Ivan Fedotov for playing time this season, but Ersson appears to have the slight edge heading into game one of 82. Ersson had some bright moments in 2023-24 but struggled as a whole, posting an .890 SV% and a 2.82 GAA across 51 appearances. He draws a brutal first assignment against the Canucks, who scored five goals on 24 shots in their overtime loss to the Flames on Wednesday. The Flyers enter action as +160 underdogs in Vancouver.

The Flyers enter action on Thursday as sizeable +204 road underdogs against a red-hot Carolina Hurricanes club that has been rolling, outscoring their competition 20-7 during a four-game winning streak.

Ersson had the night off in the Flyers 6-5 loss to the Boston Bruins on Saturday, but he will return to the crease for the sixth time in the last seven games on Tuesday.

Ersson has been inconsistent lately but will return to the crease for the fourth straight game on Tuesday. In his last seven games (3-3-1), Ersson has allowed two or fewer goals five times but also allowed four or more twice. He had a forgettable performance in his last games, allowing four goals in 15 shots (.733 SV%) in an eventual 7-0 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning. That said, the Flyers have a favourable matchup as -320 home favourites against the San Jose Sharks.

Ersson will take over the Flyers' crease for a second-straight game as he looks to avenge a 24-save (.960 SV%) overtime loss to St. Louis in his last start. The 24-year-old rookie has struggled since taking over the Flyers' starting position full-time, with his 17-12-5 record, 2.57 GAA and .899 SV%. He draws the unfortunate task of taking on the red-hot Florida Panthers, who are in the midst of a six-game winning streak and have won 12 of their last 13 contests.
