Samuel Ersson News

With Dan Vladar (lower-body) still injured for at least one more game, Samuel Ersson draws the tough task of taking on the Colorado Avalanche in Colorado on Friday.

His .858 SV% ranks among the lowest in the NHL through 21 appearances this season. He will take on the surprisingly cold Colorado Avalanche on Friday, who, despite having the NHL's best record, have lost three of their last four games.

Dan Vladar (lower body) is nearing a return from injury, but Ersson will stay between the pipes for at least one more game.

The Flyers enter Monday's contest as +191 road underdogs against a Golden Knights team that has scored four or more goals in six of their last seven games (7-0-0).

Ersson brings a 6-4-4 record and an .872 SV% into Wednesday's matchup, where the Flyers enter action at +120 on the money line.

Dan Vladar has been exceptional tending the twine for the Flyers lately, but Ersson will get the nod on Friday against the St. Louis Blues. Ersson struggled in his most recent outing despite not being overworked, allowing three goals on 13 shots (.769 SV%) in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Ottawa Senators. The 26-year-old ERsson has a 3.03 GAA and .864 SV% in five games this season (2-1-2). The Flyers enter Friday's contest as +120 road underdogs against the Blues.

Ersson has not played since suffering an undisclosed injury on October 28th, but returned to practice on Wednesday and could be back between the pipes on Saturday against the Ottawa Senators. Before his injury, Ersson was splitting time with Dan Vladar, who had been terrific and greatly outplayed Ersson. That said, Vladar has faced adversity in Ersson's absence, which should allow Ersson to continue his push for more playing time. The 26-year-old Erson has a 3.08 GAA and .876 SV% in four games this season (2-1-1).
