For the fifth straight game, Flyers goalie Samuel Ersson gets the start at goal as Carter Hart continues his comeback at full strength. Although not starting, Carter Hart is listed as the backup which is another promising sign as he continues to get healthy.
As the Flyers as a whole are clicking on all cylinders, one of the men behind their hot streak has been Ersson. In his last five starts, Ersson has won four starts with a 90% save percentage and a 2.51 GAA. Most impressively, Ersson recorded 32 saves in a 1-0 shutout win against the Detroit Red Wings last Saturday night.
