Sam Ersson WILL start in net for the Philadelphia Flyers tonight against the St. Louis Blues at 8:00 PM ET (home game at Wells Fargo Center). While official confirmation hasn’t been announced yet (as of mid-afternoon), this aligns with the team’s goaltending rotation:
- Season Context: Ersson, the 26-year-old Swedish netminder, has been the Flyers’ primary starter in the 2025-26 season, expected to handle 45-50 games. He’s coming off a strong international showing for Sweden in 2025 (7-0-0, .949 SV%, 1.23 GAA across tournaments) and is rebounding from a tougher 2024-25 (.883 SV%, 3.14 GAA in 47 games).
- Rotation Notes: Dan Vladar (acquired in the offseason) has seen some early action, including the season opener, but Ersson has taken most starts lately. He recently returned from a lower-body injury (IR from late October, out ~2 weeks) and is back in form.
- Opponent Starter: Jordan Binnington is likely for the Blues (unconfirmed).
Quick Stats: Ersson’s 2025-26 Performance (Through Nov. 13)
