Flyers' Samuel Ersson to Get Starting Nod on Saturday

Ersson Has Been Impressive in Relief Appearances

The Philadelphia Flyers have announced that goaltender Samuel Ersson will make his first career NHL start on Saturday night against the New York Islanders.

Ersson, 23, has been impressive in relief appearances this season, posting a 2-0-0 record with a 1.50 goals-against average and a .944 save percentage.

The Flyers are hoping that Ersson can provide a spark to a team that has struggled to find consistency this season.

Hart Still Day-to-Day

The Flyers also announced that goaltender Carter Hart is still day-to-day with an upper-body injury.

Hart has been the Flyers' starting goaltender for the past three seasons, but he has missed the past two games with an injury.

The Flyers are hopeful that Hart will be able to return to the lineup soon, but they are not rushing him back.

Flyers Need to Find Consistency

The Flyers have struggled to find consistency this season, posting a 10-10-4 record.

The Flyers have been inconsistent on both ends of the ice, and they have struggled to win games on a consistent basis.

The Flyers are hoping that Ersson can provide a spark to the team and help them find some consistency.

Saturday's Game is Important

Saturday's game against the Islanders is an important one for the Flyers.

The Flyers are currently in seventh place in the Metropolitan Division, and they need to win games to stay in the playoff race.

A win against the Islanders would be a big boost for the Flyers, and it would give them some momentum heading into the second half of the season.
