Flyers goaltender Samuel Ersson suffered an injury in the first period of today’s game against Boston and did not return. Following the game, the team clarified (Twitter link) that the netminder sustained a lower-body injury. It has been a tough year between the pipes for the Flyers who came into this game with a combined save percentage of just .863 (including empty-netters allowed), the lowest in the Eastern Conference. However, Ersson has had a reasonable start to his year, putting up a 2.72 GAA with a .897 SV% heading into today’s action. Aleksei Kolosov came on in relief while Ivan Fedotov, who has struggled mightily in his limited NHL action so far, is also on the active roster should Ersson miss any more time.
