NHL Season Secrets: Uncover the Surprising Strengths, Hidden Weaknesses, and Game-Changing X Factors for Every Team
The Flyers believe in Samuel Ersson to be the No. 1 guy, but he has yet to show he’s capable of shouldering that much responsibility. He has posted a sub-.900 SV% in each of the past two seasons when he appeared in 51 and 47 games, respectively. That’s a large workload for any goalie, and Ersson hasn’t worn it well.
GM Danny Briere brought in veteran Dan Vladar to be backup for Ersson, and Vladar is an upgrade over last season’s options there (Ivan Fedotov and Aleksei Kolosov), but he hasn’t started more than 30 games in a season of his career. How will those two work it out in the crease so that the defensive show Philadelphia puts on doesn’t go to waste?
