Must read on FlyersInsider
Since teams are dealing with a cap crunch of the last three years, it's hard to imagine them taking on such a high cap hit.
As a result, Felix Sandstrom and Samuel Ersson remain in the running for Philadelphia's #2 goalie spot, which appears to be a lock.
During pre-season play, Ersson has played the most games of any Flyers goalkeeper and stopped 33 of 37 shots against the Boston Bruins.
He went 6-0-0 last season with a 2.56 GAA and a .913 save percentage that endeared him to John Tortorella.
Since Sandstrom has played only two periods in pre-season, he faces an uphill battle. Sandstrom has a lot to prove in the meantime while the Flyers continue their pre-season.
