The Flyers are off to a 1-1-1 start to the 2025-26 season and will turn to Ersson for his second start between the pipes.

Goaltending counterpart Dan Vladar has been solid to start his Flyers' tenure, so Ersson will need to string together some consistent play if he hopes to increase his workload this season.
