The rookie netminder was beaten only by Carter Verhaeghe on the power play in the first period. Ersson had lost four starts in a row before getting back on track Tuesday night. He's had a tough time lately, but Ersson leads all rookie goalies with 13 wins and has performed well overall. He's logged a 13-9-3 record with a 2.53 goals-against average, a .900 save percentage, and three shutouts.
Samuel Ersson Expected To Be Fine After Thursday's Exit
Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Samuel Ersson is expected to be fine following Thursday's early exit versus Vancouver. After impressing against the most prolific team in the league by stopping 18 of 19 shots, Ersson exited the game in the third period. He reportedly cramped up due to dehydration. The 24-year-old has looked good in the Philly crease lately and boasts a 9-4-2 record for the season. He recently bagged his second shutout of the campaign and has allowed 2.50 goals with a .902 save percentage. Carter Hart is poised to take over the crease Friday versus Seattle, but Ersson should be back in contention for Sunday's battle with the Flames.
Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Samuel Ersson will guard the crease in Sunday's matchup against Columbus. Ersson is getting the second leg of a back-to-back after Carter Hart beat Vegas 4-3 in overtime on Saturday. There have been five starts so far for the Swedish netminder this season, and his performances have been a mixed bag, with Ersson posting a 2-3-1 record. However, both of his wins have come in his last three appearances, which shows that the 24-year-old has built up some momentum. The team has also been doing well lately, winning four games on the bounce. A meeting with the 4-10-4 Blue Jackets offers Ersson and the Flyers a great opportunity to keep the winning streak going.
Samuel Ersson Will Make His 13th Career Start Tuesday
Philadelphia Flyers goalie Samuel Ersson will mind the crease against tender Jordan Binnington and the St. Louis Blues Tuesday. The 23-year-old has been decent for the Flyers in limited appearances posting a 6-2-0 record, a 3.07 goals-against-average, and a .899 save percentage. Unfortunately, Ersson will be looking to add to the Blue's misery this season, as they have lost two games in a row. However, St. Louis does rank 15th in the NHL in Goals For Per 60, averaging 3.22 per contest.
