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

Holds on for overtime win

GPhiladelphia Flyers

December 21, 2024

Ersson stopped 21 of 25 shots in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.

ANALYSIS
The Flyers rallied from three deficits in the third period, and then Owen Tippett completed the comeback at 3:30 of overtime. This was Ersson's second win in five starts since he came back from a lower-body injury. The 25-year-old has allowed 19 goals in that span despite facing no more than 25 shots in any of those games. Ersson is up to 7-5-2 with a 3.09 GAA and an .881 save percentage through 16 appearances. He's still atop the depth chart in goal, though his poor recent performance should allow Aleksei Kolosov to see a decent share of playing time in the backup role. Ivan Fedotov also remains on the NHL roster, making the Flyers' crease crowded, and one to avoid in fantasy.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

PHI

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.
