Samuel Ersson Shuts Out Buffalo With 28 Saves
2 years agoPhiladelphia Flyers goaltender Samuel Ersson neutralized the NHL's hottest offense on Monday, posting his first career shutout with 28 saves in a 4-0 win over the Sabres. This was only his fifth career appearance, and Ersson required the fifth-fewest appearances by a rookie goaltender to record his first career shutout with the team. He is also now on a four-game winning streak, so the 23-year-old Swedish netminder has made quite an impression in his first few games in the NHL. Among goalies to debut with the Flyers, Ersson is just the fourth to win each of his first four career decisions. The Flyers suddenly have a very reliable option behind Carter Hart, with Ersson having registered a 2.30 goals-against average and a .924 save percentage.
