Ersson (lower body) won't return to Thursday's game versus the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Ersson allowed five goals on 20 shots in two periods of action. It's unclear when the injury occurred. Dan Vladar took over in goal and will likely handle the bulk of the goaltending duties for as long as Ersson is out.

Ersson is set to start on the road against Boston on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Ersson has allowed at least three goals in five of his past six outings. He's 8-9-5 with a 3.39 GAA and an .860 save percentage in 23 appearances this season. He'll be up against the red-hot Bruins, who are 11-2-1 across their past 13 outings while averaging 4.00 goals per game over that span.

Ersson stopped 19 of 23 shots in Monday's 4-0 loss to the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Ersson was playing in his seventh straight game. The Flyers' offense did him no favors, though Ersson wasn't that good either. He's 2-3-1 with 21 goals allowed on 157 shots during his recent stretch of increased work. For the season, he's at an 8-9-5 record with a 3.39 GAA and an .860 save percentage over 23 appearances. Dan Vladar (lower body) is close to a return, at which point Ersson would slip back into the backup role. Ersson is still likely to start at least one of the next two games, either Wednesday in Columbus or Thursday in Boston.

Ersson was the first goalie off during Monday's morning skate, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports, indicating that he'll draw the home start against the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Ersson has had mixed results over his last four outings, going 2-1-1 with 12 goals allowed on 112 shots (.893 save percentage). He's made a pair of starts against the Islanders this year -- one at home and one on the road -- both of which were shootout wins. He allowed a total of six goals on 57 shots in those games.

Ersson stopped 32 of 35 shots in Friday's 7-3 win over the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Ersson had a solid performance in a challenging matchup against one of the best teams in the league. He earned the win while posting a save percentage above .910 for the second time since Dec. 23. Ersson should remain as the Flyers' No. 1 netminder for the time being, but he's going to return to a backup role once Dan Vladar (lower body) returns. Ersson has gone 2-2-1 with a 3.48 GAA and an .873 save percentage over his last six starts.

Ersson was the first goalie to leave the ice Friday, Charlie O'Connor of PHLY Sports reports, indicating he'll be between the pipes on the road versus Colorado.
EDGE Analysis
Ersson will make his sixth straight appearance in the crease, having gone 1-2-1 in his last five outings with a 3.60 GAA and .859 save percentage. While the 26-year-old backstop continues to see the bulk of the workload for the Flyers, the impending return of Dan Vladar (lower body) figures to see Ersson relegated to the backup role once again.

Ersson stopped 22 of 27 shots in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Mammoth.
EDGE Analysis
Ersson was beaten twice in the second period, twice more in the third, and later midway through overtime. He's been slumping of late and has lost in four of his six outings in January, going 1-3-1 with a 4.30 GAA and a disappointing .828 save percentage. With Dan Vladar (lower body) nearing a return to action, Ersson will likely lose his starting role, and fantasy managers would be wise to look at other options between the pipes, given how much the 26-year-old Swede has been struggling in recent weeks.

Ersson is set to start on the road against Utah on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Ersson will attempt to replicate his 2-1 victory over Vegas on Monday. He stopped 24 of 25 shots in that win, which gives him a 7-8-4 record, 3.30 GAA and .860 save percentage in 20 outings this season. Utah is 7-1-1 in its past nine outings while averaging 3.78 goals per game in that span.

Ersson turned aside 24 of 25 shots on net in Monday's 2-1 win over the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Ersson earned his first win since Dec. 23 in an effort where he made multiple key saves en route to the road victory. With the win, the 26-year-old goalie is up to a 7-8-4 record with a 3.30 GAA and an .860 save percentage across 20 appearances this season. While the 2025-26 season has been the worst of his four at the NHL level, this start was encouraging, and he's in line for more opportunities with Dan Vladar (lower body) on injured reserve. Another 20-plus win season might be off the table for Ersson, but Monday's win could spark a decent stretch of play for him, making him an intriguing streaming option in fantasy for the time being. With current backup Aleksei Kolosov struggling, Ersson could be in line to draw an appearance in his fifth straight game during Wednesday's road matchup in Utah.
