Philadelphia Flyers
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Ersson emerged as the starter for the Flyers in 2023-24. He got off to a solid start, but his play suffered as the season progressed. He was elite until Jan. 18 (.927 save percentage and 1.85 GAA) if you omit the 12 goals allowed in his first two outings of the year. After that, he posted a 3.23 GAA and an .876 save percentage in 31 contests. Ersson will split time this season with Ivan Fedotov, and that rest should help him avoid the rigors of a heavy workload. Consequently, Ersson could be a potential steal in daily formats where lightning in a bottle can deliver positive results. However, he may not be a suitable long-term option for fantasy managers if his consistency doesn't improve. Read Past Outlooks

Five-game win streak snapped
GPhiladelphia Flyers
January 23, 2025
Ersson made 31 saves in a 6-1 loss to the Rangers on Thursday. He allowed five goals.
ANALYSIS
The Flyers went up just 1:25 into the game, but the red-hot Rangers fired off six unanswered goals to take the win. The loss ended Ersson's five-game winning streak, a span in which he allowed just eight goals. Overall, he's 14-8-2 with a 2.80 GAA and .891 save percentage, and he's a big part of why the Flyers are just three points out of a Wild Card position.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Might be available for Thursday
GPhiladelphia Flyers
December 4, 2024
Ersson, who hasn't played since Nov. 11 due to a lower-body injury, might return for Thursday's home tilt against Florida, per Kevin Kurz of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Ersson has a 5-2-2 record, 2.70 GAA and .902 save percentage in 11 appearances in 2024-25. Ivan Fedotov and Aleksei Kolosov have been splitting the workload in Ersson's absence. Although Kolosov has done well recently, winning his past three starts while stopping 69 of 75 shots, the 22-year-old will likely return to AHL Lehigh Valley, though there's a chance his success will lead to Fedotov being waived instead or the Flyers even carrying three goaltenders. In any of those scenarios, Ersson is projected to resume his role as the Flyers' No. 1 goaltender.
