26-Year-Old GoalieG
Philadelphia Flyers
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Ersson was once again able to command a majority of the starts for the Flyers, but his performance took a dip in 2024-25. He played in 47 games, earning a 22-17-5 record with a 3.14 GAA and a .883 save percentage. The Flyers carried three goalies for the bulk of the season, and all three netminders are under contract for 2025-26 as well. Barring changes in free agency, Ersson is projected to be the team's No. 1 goalie again, but he is far from a reliable option in fantasy. He'll play the bulk of the season at age 26, so this could be his last chance to prove himself as a capable NHL starter. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a two-year, $2.9 million contract with the Flyers in August of 2023.
Set to face Boston

Ersson is set to start on the road against Boston on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Ersson has allowed at least three goals in five of his past six outings. He's 8-9-5 with a 3.39 GAA and an .860 save percentage in 23 appearances this season. He'll be up against the red-hot Bruins, who are 11-2-1 across their past 13 outings while averaging 4.00 goals per game over that span.

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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
May start Monday
GPhiladelphia Flyers
January 26, 2026
Ersson appears to be preparing to start at home against the Islanders on Monday, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
ANALYSIS
Ersson would be making his seventh straight appearance in the crease, having gone 2-2-1 with a 3.48 GAA in his previous six outings. Both Aleksei Kolosov and Dan Vladar, who remains on IR with a lower-body injury, were on the ice for Monday's game-day skate. Eventually, Ersson will likely find himself relegated to the backup role behind Vladar, but that may have to wait until after the Olympic break.
