The Philadelphia Flyers have announced that goaltender Samuel Ersson will be sent back to the Lehigh Valley Phantoms for their upcoming playoff run. This roster move comes at a critical time for the Flyers as they continue to struggle with injuries, particularly to their starting goalie, Carter Hart. With Hart still sidelined, the Flyers may need to rely on an emergency backup goalie (EBUG) to step up if necessary.
Ersson, a 23-year-old Swedish netminder, was called up to the Flyers due to Hart's injury but only seen one games playing time. He will now return to the Phantoms to help them in their playoff push, while the Flyers will role with Felix Sandstrom and a likely-emergency backup goaltender.
