Ersson made 23 saves Thursday in a 4-1 loss to the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
The line of Mark Scheifele, Kyle Connor and Gabriel Vilardi owned Ersson -- they combined for eight points, including one PPG and four PPA. Ersson played well, but his team was listless -- they didn't get on the board until the 17:18 mark of the third period. He can't win by himself.

The 25-year-old is 18-10-4 with a pair of shutouts, a 2.91 GAA and an .890 save percentage across 35 appearances this season.

Ersson gave up three goals on five shots before being replaced by Ivan Fedotov midway through the first period of Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
While Ersson had little chance on the first tally, the netminder got a clean look at Nazem Kadri's shot from faceoff circle and then let Connor Zary sneak a puck past him from a sharp angle, prompting head coach John Tortorella to give him the hook. However, Ersson avoided the loss, as the first goal Fedotov gave up proved to be the game-winner for Calgary. It's the fourth time in his last six outings that Ersson has allowed at least three goals, a stretch in which he's gone 3-0-2 despite a mediocre 3.23 GAA and .884 save percentage.

Ersson will be between the pipes at home versus Calgary on Tuesday, Charlie O'Connor of PHLY Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ersson is undefeated in regulation over his last five outings, going 3-0-2 with a 2.75 GAA and a .905 save percentage -- though that does include his most recent outing in which he gave up five goals on just 25 shots in an overtime loss. At this point, it seems the Flyers will continue to primarily utilize Ersson in the blue paint, with Ivan Fedotov and Aleksei Kolosov limited to back-to-backs.

Ersson stopped 20 of 25 shots in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
Ersson was on a three-game winning streak heading into Thursday's matchup, but his hot stretch came to an end against Pittsburgh. His .800 save percentage was his lowest since a 5-0 loss to the Devils on Jan. 29. Despite the OT loss in this one, Ersson went 3-1-2 with a 2.66 GAA and a .908 save percentage across six starts in February.

Ersson will defend the road cage against the Penguins on Thursday, Jackie Spiegel of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ersson is riding a three-game winning streak during which he posted a .920 save percentage and 2.00 GAA. With no back-to-backs on the short-term schedule, the 25-year-old Swede could see plenty of work heading into the final weeks of the NHL campaign -- though the Flyers won't want Ivan Fedotov or Aleksei Kolosov sitting around too long.

Ersson made 23 saves in a 6-1 win over Pittsburgh on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The only goal that got past Ersson came off the stick of Philip Tomasino in the second period, who took a saucer pass to the net before going forehand to backhand around his right pad. Ersson has won three consecutive starts, he's 3-1-1 with a 2.20 GAA and .926 save percentage in his last five games. But his strong play started long ago -- he's 12-5-1 in his last 18 starts dating back to Dec. 21. Ersson is developing into a solid number one netminder.

Ersson will get the starting nod at home against the Penguins on Tuesday, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ersson is riding a two-game winning streak during which he posted a 2.50 GAA, which includes a win over the Penguins on Feb. 8. The 25-year-old netminder needs just three more victories to reach the 20-win mark for the second consecutive campaign and could best his win total (23) from last season before the 2024-25 campaign wraps up.

Ersson made 15 saves in a 6-3 win over Edmonton on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Ersson was eased back into NHL action after being under siege before the break for the 4 Nations Face-Off when he faced 107 shots in three games. Getting to don the yellow-and-blue jersey of the Tre Kroner at the tournament was a huge honor and a testament to Ersson's talent. It could boost him for the rest of the season, even behind a somewhat porous Philly squad.
