Description

Samuel Ersson (born 20 October 1999) is a Swedish professional ice hockey player who is a goaltender for the Philadelphia Flyers of the National Hockey League (NHL). He was drafted by the Flyers in the fifth round of the 2018 NHL entry draft.

Playing career
Ersson played as a youth with Falu IF before joining the Brynäs IF organization of the Swedish Hockey League (SHL) as a 16-year-old.

Ersson was awarded the Guldgallret, which recognizes the best junior player in the HockeyAllsvenskan, for his play with Västerås IK during the 2018–19 season. He signed a contract to return to the Brynäs IF organization for the 2019–20 season.

On 3 June 2021, Ersson was signed by the Philadelphia Flyers to a three-year, entry-level contract.

He began his professional career in North America with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms, the Flyers' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, but only played in five games of the 2021-22 season due to injuries, one of which required groin surgery. Ersson was able to recover from the surgery in time to attend the Flyers' 2022 training camp.

Ersson made his NHL debut on 23 December 2022, in a 6–5 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes. He would get pulled in the second period to be put back in later in the game; however, Carter Hart would be handed the loss. Ersson got his first NHL win on 29 December, in a 4–3 overtime win over the San Jose Sharks, and would get his first shutout against the Buffalo Sabres on 9 January 2023.

On 5 August 2023, Ersson signed a two-year, $2.9 million contract extension with the Flyers.
