Ersson was shelled for five goals on 30 shots (.833 SV%) in the only start of his career, a loss to Carolina his last time out.

He will be looking to pick up his first career win as he takes on the San Jose Sharks, who have lost four of their last five games after a 6-2 loss to Vancouver in their last game.

Ersson will make his NHL debut Friday after going 9-8-1 with a 2.72 GAA and a .910 SV% with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms (AHL). He draws the tough first task of the Carolina Hurricanes, who are in the middle of a seven-game winning streak.
