Ersson stopped 21 of 22 shots in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
Ersson has won his last two starts, and he's allowed just three goals on 49 shots over his three appearances since the Olympic break. The 26-year-old's improved play could make the Flyers more comfortable with giving Dan Vladar the occasional rest. Ersson is up to 10-10-5 with a 3.30 GAA and an .863 save percentage over 27 appearances, so he still carries some risk. Expect Vladar to get the nod for Thursday's road game in Minnesota.

Ersson is expected to start at home against Washington on Wednesday, per Charlie O'Connor of PHLY Sports.
EDGE Analysis
Ersson is making his first start since Feb. 26, but he did stop the three shots he faced in a relief appearance Monday. The 26-year-old has a 9-10-5 record, 3.40 GAA and .859 save percentage in 26 outings in 2025-26. Washington is coming off a 7-3 victory over Calgary on Monday, which ended the Capitals' three-game losing streak and brought the team's record up to 32-26-7.

Ersson turned aside all three shots he faced after replacing Dan Vladar to begin the third period of Monday's 6-2 loss to the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
New York took its foot off the gas over the final 20 minutes, so Ersson was relatively unchallenged during his relief outing. The 26-year-old netminder has made only three appearances since Vladar returned in late January from a lower-body injury, giving up seven goals on 47 shots in that time, but Ersson should get a start during a back-to-back set this week, either Wednesday against the Capitals at home or Thursday on the road in Minnesota.

Ersson stopped 22 of 24 shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Ersson protected the Flyers' crease for the first time since Jan. 29, when he gave up five goals on 20 shots in a loss to the Bruins, but he did a good job this time out. It was Ersson's first win since Jan. 23, but he should revert to his regular backup role behind Dan Vladar when the Flyers take on the Bruins on Saturday.

Ersson is set to start on the road against the Rangers on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Ersson has an 8-10-5 record, 3.51 GAA and .856 save percentage in 24 outings in 2025-26. He was struggling before the Olympic break, allowing 17 goals on 105 shots (.838 save percentage) across his past four appearances. However, the Rangers are also going through a rough patch, as they're 3-13-2 while averaging 2.61 goals per game across their past 18 games.

Ersson (lower body) will not be available Thursday against the Senators and should return after the Olympic break, according to Charlie O'Connor of PHLY Sports.
EDGE Analysis
Ersson managed to participate at practice Thursday, but won't be part of the Philadelphia lineup Thursday versus Ottawa. He will miss his third straight game. Ersson is 8-10-5 with a 3.51 GAA and an .856 GAA across 24 appearances this season.

Ersson (lower body) will not be in the lineup for Tuesday's clash with Washington, per NHL.com.
EDGE Analysis
Ersson went 2-4-1 with a 3.97 GAA in his last eight outings prior to suffering his lower-body injury. With the 26-year-old netminder on the shelf, Aleksei Kolosov figures to serve as the No. 2 option behind Dan Vladar on Tuesday. At this point, Ersson may struggle to secure regular opportunities behind Vladar even once given the all-clear.

Ersson (lower body) will miss Saturday's home game versus Los Angeles, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ersson sustained the injury in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Bruins. Dan Vladar will start Saturday's contest, while Aleksei Kolosov will be the backup after being recalled from AHL Lehigh Valley on Saturday. It's unclear when Ersson will be available to return.
