Samuel Ersson Set to Start Road Game Against Blues Amidst Limited Recent Play

Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Samuel Ersson is slated to start in net against the St. Louis Blues on Friday, defending the road crease. This upcoming game marks his second start in the Flyers' last three outings, despite having seen limited playing time recently. The 26-year-old netminder has been relatively effective when called upon this season, holding a 2-1-2 record with a 3.03 goals-against average and an .866 save percentage. Ersson, who signed a two-year, $2.9 million contract with the Flyers in August of 2023, will look to build on his performance against St. Louis.
