Sam Ersson started in net Saturday for the Flyers and struggled for the second straight game in the team's loss to Anaheim.
The life of a backup NHL goalie isn’t particularly easy. You practice the same amount as the starter. On game days, your morning skate sessions last longer.
Ersson was given a start Saturday against Anaheim ahead of a busy game week for the Flyers. For the second straight Saturday, he struggled, and the Flyers once again largely outplayed their opponent and lost — this time 7-4 to the Ducks at the Wells Fargo Center.“It’s not really an excuse,” Ersson said about adjusting to being a backup. “It’s up to me to be prepared, and when I get the chance, I got to be able to deliver a lot better performances than I’ve been the last couple games here.
Konecny was understandably less interested in talking about his hot start than he was mulling over his turnover that led to Zegras’ goal.
