Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Practices Monday
Ersson (lower body) participated in Monday's practice, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Ersson hasn't played since Nov. 11 versus San Jose after tweaking a previous injury during a Nov. 13 practice. Monday's on-ice session was his first with his teammates since he was sidelined. He could be ready to play as early as Thursday's home game against Florida. He has a 5-2-2 record with one shutout, a 2.70 GAA and a .902 save percentage in 11 appearances this season.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Travels with team
Ersson (lower body) traveled with the Flyers for Saturday's game in St. Louis, Jackie Spiegel of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Ersson didn't play, but it's impressive he traveled for the road game, which was the second half of a back-to-back. The 25-year-old has been out since Nov. 11, and he's already exceeded his 1-2 week return timeline established in mid-November. Improved performances from Aleksei Kolosov and Ivan Fedotov have allowed the Flyers to take their time with Ersson's return, so he may not return to a No. 1 role once he's activated from injured reserve.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Considered day-to-day
Ersson (lower body), who remains on injured reserve, has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Carolina and is considered day-to-day.
Ersson tweaked a lower-body injury at practice last Wednesday, and it's encouraging to see him deemed day-to-day after he initially carried a return timetable of 1-2 weeks. It's not yet clear when the 25-year-old netminder will be able to return to game action, but he seems to be progressing well in his recovery.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Surfaces on IR
Ersson (lower body) was put on injured reserve Sunday, per the NHL media site.
Following a 28-save effort in a 4-3 shootout win over San Jose on Monday, Ersson tweaked a previous injury and received a 1-2 week timeline for his recovery. His move to IR will free up a roster spot for the Flyers to bring up a defenseman from AHL Lehigh Valley because of injuries to Cam York (upper body), Emil Andrae (undisclosed) and Jamie Drysdale (upper body).

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Slated to miss time
Ersson reinjured his previous lower-body issue and is expected to be out for 1-2 weeks, Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports Friday.
Ersson's timeline would see him miss at least the Flyers' next three contests, though it sounds like it could be longer. Given that recovery timeline, it wouldn't be a shock to see the team designate the netminder for injured reserve. Look for Ivan Fedotov to get the bulk of the workload for the time being -- though Aleksei Kolosov should be in contention as well.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Dealing with lower-body injury
Ersson will be unavailable for Thursday's game against Ottawa due to a lower-body injury.
Ersson had already been ruled out for Thursday's matchup after tweaking something during Wednesday's practice session, and the team has now clarified that he's dealing with a lower-body issue. However, the injury isn't considered a long-term concern, so he should be deemed day-to-day ahead of Saturday's home game against the Sabres.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Not dressing Thursday
Ersson tweaked something at practice Wednesday and will not be in uniform for Thursday's tilt in Ottawa, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
The Flyers said that the injury is not long term. Ivan Fedotov will get the start with Aleksei Kolosov backing up in Ottawa. Ersson is the Flyers' No. 1 goaltender when healthy, as he is 5-2-2 with a 2.70 GAA and a .902 save percentage in 11 appearances this season.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Hangs on for shootout win
Ersson turned aside 28 shots in regulation and overtime and both shootout attempts he faced in Monday's 4-3 win over the Sharks.
The 25-year-old netminder appeared to have things well in hand when Matvei Michkov gave the Flyers a 3-0 lead early in the second period, but a furious comeback by the Sharks forced extra time. Ersson didn't get rattled, denying Macklin Celebrini and Will Smith in the shootout to secure the victory. Ersson hasn't lost in regulation since Oct. 22, going 4-0-1 over his last six appearances with a 2.27 GAA and .915 save percentage to give him a firm hold on the top job in the crease for Philly.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Set to start Monday
Ersson will defend the home crease during Monday's game against the Sharks, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Ersson returned from a two-game absence Saturday against the Panthers and allowed three goals on 31 shots (.903 save percentage) en route to a shootout loss. However, he'll draw the start for a second consecutive game and should continue to serve as the Flyers' No. 1 goaltender now that he's back to full health.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Stuck with shootout loss in return
Ersson made 28 saves in regulation and overtime and stopped three of five shootout attempts in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Panthers.
The netminder had sat out the prior two games with a lower-body injury, but Ersson looked healthy in his return to the crease Saturday. He should immediately reclaim the No. 1 job for Philly, as Ersson's 2.69 GAA and .902 save percentage on the season are far superior to the marks posted by Ivan Fedotov (4.05 GAA, .851 save percentage) and Aleksei Kolosov (3.93 GAA, .863 save percentage) -- the latter is currently out with a lower-body injury.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Good to start Saturday
Ersson (lower body) will guard the road goal in Saturday's tilt against Florida, according to Charlie O'Connor of PHLY Sports.
Ersson left last Saturday's 3-0 loss to Boston after logging just 7:36 of ice time because of the injury. He has a 4-2-1 record, 2.68 GAA and .901 save percentage in nine appearances in 2024-25. The Panthers will be a challenging adversary -- they're 10-3-1 and rank fifth offensively with 3.86 goals per game.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Not ready to return
Ersson (lower body) took part in the Flyers' game-day skate Thursday but won't be in action versus the Lightning, Jackie Spiegel of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Ersson seems to be trending in the right direction, which could leave the door open for him to play versus the Panthers on Saturday. Still, with both Aleksei Kolosov and Ivan Fedotov available, the team doesn't need to rush Ersson back into the crease. It will be Kolosov who gets the nod for Thursday's matchup with Tampa Bay.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Traveling with Flyers
Ersson (lower body) is traveling with the Flyers and spent some time on the ice in full gear Tuesday, per Jackie Spiegel of The Philadelphia Inquirer.
Ersson isn't expected to play in Tuesday's road tilt versus Carolina, but joining the Flyers on their trip opens the door to him potentially playing Thursday in Tampa Bay or Saturday's road game against the Panthers. He has a 4-2-1 record, 2.68 GAA and .901 save percentage in nine appearances in 2024-25. Aleksei Kolosov is set to start Tuesday, and Ivan Fedotov is projected to serve as the backup netminder.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Exits game with injury
Ersson (lower body) exited Saturday's tilt against Boston and won't return.
Ersson stopped the eight shots he faced but left the game after logging just 7:36 of ice time. Aleksei Kolosov took his place between the pipes. The 25-year-old Ersson was seen getting a new skate blade, but he also spoke to the head athletic trainer and pointed to his left leg, according to Jackie Spiegel of The Philadelphia Inquirer. Ersson has been the clear No. 1 option for the Flyers in 2024-25, so if he misses time due to this injury, then that would leave Ivan Fedotov and Aleksei Kolosov to compete for starts during his absence.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Facing Bruins
Ersson will be between the home pipes versus Boston on Saturday, Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports.
Ersson has solidified his spot as the No. 1 goaltender with the Flyers, winning his last three starts. Ersson is 4-2-1 with a 2.73 GAA and an .897 save percentage in eight appearances this season. Boston has been slumping recently, losing five of six games while finding the back of the net nine times heading into Saturday's matchup.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Sharp in fourth win
Ersson stopped 20 shots in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Blues.
Neither goalie was particularly busy in a tight-checking affair, but Ersson was just a little bit sharper than Jordan Binnington. The Flyers' No. 1 netminder has won three straight starts to boost his record to 4-2-1 in eight appearances, and while Ersson's 2.73 GAA and .897 save percentage aren't elite, they're significantly better than Ivan Fedotov's 5.35 GAA and .821 save percentage.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Slated to start Thursday
Ersson is expected to serve as the starting goaltender for Thursday's home game against the Blues, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Ersson put together his first shutout win of the season Tuesday against the Bruins, and he'll start for a second consecutive game Thursday. The 25-year-old has been somewhat inconsistent over his first seven outings this year, posting a 3-2-1 record, 2.99 GAA and .891 save percentage.
