Samuel Ersson to Start Thursday's Road Game Against Pittsburgh

Samuel Ersson will start Thursday's road game against Pittsburgh. He draws the start after Dan Vladar (undisclosed) exited Wednesday's game against the Sabres. Ersson has taken losses in his last three outings. He is expected to serve as the Flyers' No. 1 netminder if Vladar misses time, with Aleksei Kolosov also called up Thursday.
