Ersson had a 5-0-0 record, 2.37 GAA and .918 SV% with Philadelphia but was re-assigned to Lehigh Valley (AHL) on Friday. Ersson had to be returned to the minors due to Felix Sandstrom's conditioning stint finishing up as he had to be returned to the Flyers or waived.
Ersson stopped all 28 shots for his first career shutout as he won his fourth straight game in a flawless victory over Buffalo in his last start. The 23-year-old rookie has been unbeatable throughout his first six career games, with his 4-0-0 record, 2.44 GAA and .917 SV%. He will be taking on the Anaheim Ducks, who will be looking to snap a four-game losing skid after a 4-3 overtime loss to Pittsburgh in their last game.
Ersson stopped 28 of 29 shots (.966 SV%) for his third straight win as he defeated the Anaheim Ducks in his previous start. The 23-year-old has had a solid four-game showing with the Flyers so far, with his 3-0-0 record, 2.90 GAA and .905 SV%. He will face the Buffalo Sabres, who have won eight of their last nine games and are 1st in the NHL in goals per game (4.0).
Ersson stopped 27 of 29 shots (.931 SV%) to stay undefeated and pick up his second straight victory with a win over Los Angeles in his last start. The 23-year-old has done enough while filling in for an injured Carter Hart, with his 2-0-0 record, 3.58 GAA and .885 SV%. He will take on Anaheim, who has lost four of their last five games after a 6-1 loss to Nashville in their last game.
Ersson was shelled for five goals on 30 shots (.833 SV%) in the only start of his career, a loss to Carolina his last time out. The 23-year-old will be hoping for better fortunes in his second start of the year as he replaces Carter Hart (concussion) for the time being. He will be looking to pick up his first career win as he takes on the San Jose Sharks, who have lost four of their last five games after a 6-2 loss to Vancouver in their last game.
Ersson will make his NHL debut Friday after going 9-8-1 with a 2.72 GAA and a .910 SV% with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms (AHL). He draws the tough first task of the Carolina Hurricanes, who are in the middle of a seven-game winning streak.
Ersson has a 9-8-1 record, .910 SV% and 2.70 GAA with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms (AHL) but has been recalled Wednesday as it was announced Felix Sandstrom will miss the upcoming road trip due to illness. He will likely make his NHL debut either Thursday or Friday as Philadelphia has a back-to-back situation.
Carter Hart was announced out due to illness Tuesday which meant that Samuel Ersson was called up from Lehigh (AHL) to back up Felix Sandstrom.
