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

First out for warmups
GPhiladelphia Flyers
December 7, 2025
Ersson led the Flyers out for warmups and will get the start Sunday, Adam Kimelman of NHL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Ersson will reach double-digit appearances with Sunday's start. Through his first nine appearances, the 26-year-old is 5-2-2 with a 2.97 GAA and an .869 save percentage. He's also won two straight starts, stopping 55 of 60 shots on goal in those outings. The task for a third straight win will be tough with the league-leading Avalanche, leading the NHL with 4.00 goals per game, waiting.

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.
