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

Exits game with injury

Ersson (lower body) exited Saturday's tilt against Boston and won't return.
ANALYSIS
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.
