As the Flyers face another tough test tonight as they welcome the Dallas Stars to town, the orange and black look for their fourth straight win against one of the top teams in the West. As morning skate wrapped up, the Flyers and John Tortorella made the announcement of who will be in the net for the Flyers tonight; Carter Hart or Samuel Ersson?
Samuel Ersson will hit the ice for the first time tonight since his dominant 35-save performance in Winnipeg on Saturday night. Ersson has been rock solid for the orange and black, with 11 wins, three shutouts and a .910 save percentage on the year.

Tonight is just a regularly scheduled rest day for Carter Hart as Hart started last game in St. Louis and is also beginning to find his groove as a number one. Hart and Ersson have both been reliable and clutch this season; making the Flyers goaltending tandem one of the best in the entire NHL.
Another interesting stat to note is that Ersson has the second best save percentage among rookies, with Joseph Woll of the Toronto Maple Leafs just ahead of him with a .916 percentage.
Puck drop is set for 7:00p.m. EST tonight at the Wells Fargo Center.
