Ersson made 31 saves in Tuesday's 3-0 loss to the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old goalie got very little help from his teammates, and after Ersson kept Columbus off the board in the first period he couldn't do much to stop a Dante Fabbro blast from the top of the faceoff circle early in the second. Ersson has given up at least three goals in six straight starts, and if he's not between the pipes for Philly's regular-season finale Thursday against the Sabres, he'll close the books on the 2024-25 campaign with a 22-17-5 record, 3.14 GAA and .883 save percentage.

Ersson is slated to draw the home start Tuesday versus the Blue Jackets, Adam Kimelman of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ersson has conceded at least three goals in four consecutive outings, but he's gone 3-1-0 in that span. The Swedish netminder has a 22-16-5 record, 2.98 GAA and .888 save percentage over 46 appearances in 2024-25. The Flyers will be looking to play the role of spoiler Tuesday -- Columbus needs to win its last two games in order to have a chance to make the playoffs.

Ersson made 37 saves in a 4-3 shootout win over the Islanders on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
He was also perfect through five rounds of the shootout. Ersson has impressed in stretches this season, which hit a high point in late January when he was selected to represent Sweden at the 4 Nations Face-Off and in February when he beat the United States. Ersson has won three of his last four starts with the Flyers (3-1-0), but playing behind a porous team makes him a risk every time he hits the ice. Still, he could be an interesting option after Philadelphia rounds the corner.

Ersson stopped 23 of 26 shots in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
Ersson looked excellent over the first two periods, but he crumbled in the final frame and gave up three goals over a 10-minute stretch, including a shorthanded goal to Nick Suzuki. The Flyers were eliminated from playoff contention with the loss. Ersson has struggled down the stretch, with a 2-4-1 record, 4.12 GAA and .840 save percentage over his last seven appearances. Those numbers didn't really help the Flyers in their quest for a playoff berth.

Ersson stopped 17 shots in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old netminder wasn't exactly sharp, but the Flyers' offense took control of the game over the final 30 minutes and gave Ersson plenty of cushion. He's given up at least four goals in three straight starts, and over 10 appearances in March he's gone 3-5-1 with a rough 4.30 GAA and .833 save percentage. Interim head coach Brad Shaw still seems to view Ersson as his No. 1 however, and with the team playing much better since switching coaches, he could keep racking up wins down the stretch.
