Ersson stopped 20 shots in Monday's 4-3 win over the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Florida jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first period, but Ersson buckled down and allowed only a Sam Reinhart power-play tally the rest of the way, giving the Flyers a chance to mount a comeback. Ersson is on a roll again, going 4-1-0 over his last five outings with a 1.51 GAA and a .939 save percentage despite a three-game absence at the beginning of January due to a lower-body injury.

Ersson recorded 22 saves in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Ducks.

Ersson turned aside 19 of 22 shots in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Stars, with Dallas' final tally getting scored into an empty net.
EDGE Analysis
Making his return from a lower-body injury that had sidelined Ersson for the prior three games, the 25-year-old goalie was left to fend for himself by the Philly defense -- two of Dallas' tallies came on deflections from players parked right outside his crease, while the third was scored on a 3-on-1 rush in the second period. Ersson has looked good since Christmas despite the struggles of the team in front of him, allowing four goals on 70 shots (.943 save percentage) over his last three outings, but he'd stumbled to a 4.26 GAA and .810 save percentage in the six appearances before that. Ersson is still holding on to the No. 1 job in the Flyers' crease over Aleksei Kolosov and Ivan Fedotov, but his grip isn't a firm one.

Ersson (lower body) will not be an option against Toronto on Tuesday but is not expected out long term, Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ersson will be out of action for his third straight game due to his lower-body issue. Prior to getting hurt, the Swedish netminder appeared to be finding his stride, going 3-1-0 with a 2.95 GAA in his last four outings, including a shutout victory over the Sharks. With Ersson still out, Ivan Fedotov will get the nod Tuesday.

Ersson is day-to-day with a lower-body injury after leaving Tuesday's game versus the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Ersson has already been sidelined on two other occasions by lower-body issues this season, so this is not a positive update. Aleksei Kolosov and Ivan Fedotov will handle the goaltending duties until Ersson is cleared to play again, beginning with Thursday's game in Vegas.
