York The Philadelphia Flyers [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/philadelphia-flyers/] have announced that Samuel Ersson will be the club's starting goalie against the Dallas Stars. Ersson, 25, has not played since exiting the Flyers' Dec. 31 contest [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/philadelphia-flyers/latest-news/important-flyers-goalie-exits-injured-vs-sharks] against the San Jose Sharks early due to a lower-body injury [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/philadelphia-flyers/latest-news/flyers-provide-injury-update-on-key-goalie]. He was excellent during that start before getting injured, saving all 15 shots he faced. Ersson certainly has a big challenge ahead of him in his return, as the Stars are one of the top teams in the NHL. At this point of the season, they have a 25-13-1 record and have won five straight games.
