The Flyers netminder made a toe save on a shot that knocked his right skate blade off. Minutes later, he gestured to the bench to be removed and did not return.
Flyers goaltender Samuel Ersson, center, left the team's game against the Bruins in the first period on Saturday with an undisclosed injury.On Saturday, he got his wish, although probably not how he wanted. The 22-year-old Belarusian goalie entered the game against the Boston Bruins midway through the first period when Sam Ersson left with an apparent injury. The Flyers said Ersson would not return, and they hoped to have more information after the game.
But something wasn’t right with Ersson, and when the broadcast returned from a commercial break at 12:24, they showed the goalie shaking his head in the direction of the bench. Ersson skated over and spoke with head athletic trainer Tommy Alva, who was there with referee Peter MacDougall. The goalie motioned to his left leg as Kolosov stretched on the ice behind him.
Ersson left the game after making eight saves. He and the Flyers entered the game on a two-game win streak, including a 2-0 win against the Bruins in Boston on Tuesday. The game marks Kolosov’s second appearance this season. He made his NHL debut in a 4-3 loss to the Montreal Canadiens on Sunday at the Wells Fargo Center, in which he made 20 saves.
