Samuel Ersson started in goal for the Philadelphia Flyers against the Vancouver Canucks. The Flyers lineup included Egor Zamula, and Travis Konecny was reported to have left the game due to dehydration. The Flyers won the game 4-1, with Carter Hart replacing Ersson, who left due to dehydration. The Flyers have been performing well, ranking highly in various NHL categories. They are on a nine-game road point streak, and they have more shorthanded goals than power play goals. The Flyers are set to play the Calgary Flames on New Year’s Eve.
Tired: The Flyers Power Play is a struggle Wired: The Flyers almost have more short-handed goals (9) than Power Play goals (12) Unreal stuff by the Flyers and yet they continue to climb the Metropolitan Division standings.
#Flyers are on a season-high nine-game road point streak (6-0-3) since Nov. 25. The last time the Flyers had a point in at least nine straight road games: Nov. 19, 2005-Jan. 6, 2006 (12-0-2).
The Flyers and Flames are tied for most short handed goals this season with 9. They play each other on New Year’s Eve. #PHIvsCAL | #LetsGoFlyers

Flyers in 2019-20 through 35 games: 19-11-5 108 goals 96 goals allowed Flyers in 2023-24 through 35 games: 19-11-5 103 goals 94 goals allowed https://t.co/dlVtYSkaZK
Seattle gets the win in OT. They deserved that win. But good work by the Flyers to get a point on a night when they clearly didn't have their fastball.
Flyers are going to overtime for the ninth time in the last 15 games. They’re 6-4 after regulation this season: 3-3 in OT 3-1 in shootout
The Flyers' fourth line is absolutely going through it right now. Multiple strong scoring chances for Seattle on that last shift. Flyers are lucky to still be leading.
Flyers definitely look like a team that played last night, facing a team that did not, so far in this third period. Doing a lot of chasing.
Flyers maintain their 1-0 lead after two in what hasn't been all that great of a game
Carter Hart was the Flyers' best player by a longshot in the second period. Seattle carried the majority of play, but Hart repeatedly shut the door and kept the Flyers up 1-0. On the whole, not the Flyers' best game tonight. But they're hanging on.
Travis Konecny blocked a shot and hobbled to the bench while slamming his stick. He's still on the bench but seems to be in some discomfort.
Nobody has more shorthanded goals in the past two seasons than Travis Konecny, with 10. #LetsGoFlyers https://t.co/NkpZHf3MTc
Flyers have given up 15 power play goals, and now have nine shorthanded goals.
The Flyers continue to score short-handed. It's amazing what they do while being down a man. #Flyers
Konecny ends his season-long seven-game goal drought with a shortie. 1-0
Time to see if noted Power Play Savior Egor Zamula can lead the Flyers to their second straight game with a PP goal.
Carter Hart I'll start tonight. Hart will have a large contingency of people there tonight Travis Konecny is a go too #Flyers
#Blackhawks lineup vs. Stars: Foligno-Bedard-Kurashev Beauvillier-Dickinson-Raddysh Donato-T. Johnson-Blackwell Reichel-Guttman-Entwistle Vlasic-Murphy Tinordi-Phillips Korchinski-Crevier Mrazek Söderblom Scratches: R. Johnson, Zaitsev
Who would have thought going into January 2024, that the Flyers would have a 77.7% of making the Stanley Cup Playoffs? #LetsGoFlyers https://t.co/bhv5f3idGX
The Flyers are 14-4-3 since Nov. 10. Here's where they rank among the NHL in some key categories over that span: • 1st in points (31) • 1st in PK percentage (89.9) • Tied for 3rd in wins by one goal (7) • 4th-fewest goals allowed per game (2.43)
John Tortorella said he will leave Egor Zamula on the Power Play, as he had some success as of late. Sounds like he is in tonight at Seattle. #Flyers
Samuel Ersson and Travis Konecny were forced to exit, but the Flyers picked up another eye-opening win over a top team. @JHallNBCS has the story: https://t.co/Pya1IganH6
Kudos to Carter Hart, whom got shellacked against Detroit last week. Comes in cold last night, and played one hell of a game in place of Samuel Ersson who left with dehydration. Carter Hart is the best thing to happen to Philly since the Rocky statue
Flyers injuries/illness updates, per Torts: Samuel Ersson- cramped up from dehydration. He will be fine Travis Konecny- TK has some sort of a bug/illness. He will be fine
Samuel Ersson and Carter Hart both play, a good rebuilding decision for Flyers and more as the team picks up its fifth win over a top-10 club. https://t.co/pmnN4ZWyUh
Incase you were wondering, that was the first time this season that the Canucks have allowed three goals in the second period. #PHIvsVAN | #LetsGoFlyers https://t.co/HLKMtqUQuE
John Tortorella says Travis Konecny is battling some sort of "bug" so nothing to serious. #LetsGoFlyers
Flyers will move to 8-1-3 in their last 12. Impressive way to kick off the post-Christmas schedule, and will now face a Seattle team that's 5-0-2 in its last seven.
Give Carter Hart a ton of credit for this one. Entered an incredibly difficult situation, as a cold goalie against a team with a lot of offensive firepower and clear in-game momentum. He's been great.
Travis Konecny is in the Flyers locker room for ‘apparent’ repairs. #PHIvsVAN | #LetsGoFlyers
Ersson removed because of dehydration, per #Flyers.
Ersson is out due to "dehydration" per Flyers
On @NBCSPhilly broadcast, Brian Boucher points out that Travis Konecny is not on Flyers' bench.
The Flyers now have a better goal share shorthanded (34.5%) than the Sharks do at 5v5 (33.5%) this season. Hell ya
get a cold goalie off the bench -- and a PP -- and can't get a single shot before Flyers score a short-handed goal. Oh my my
We are back on track. Hathaway shorthanded. 4-1 Flyers. #PHIvsVAN | #LetsGoFlyers
Carter Hart is coming into the game. Samuel Ersson was shown on the @NBCSPhilly broadcast having a conversation with head athletic trainer Tommy Alva.
Oh boy. Carter Hart in, Ersson down the tunnel. #PHIvsVAN | #LetsGoFlyers
Canucks have been shut out just once -- 10/17 in Philly, 2-0. Ersson looking for his third shutout this season, he has 17 saves so far.
What a great scoring sequence for the Flyers, with everyone contributing on it. That pass from Tippett to set up Walker is just 🤌 https://t.co/kUOEP20UGt
Egor Zamula, promoted to the power play, cashes in to give Flyers a 1-0 lead in second period. His two career goals have come against the Canucks.
Ersson and #Flyers kill a PP. Still scoreless in second.

Sa— sorry Cam Atkinson with the kick save to stop a Canucks goal. #PHIvsVAN | #LetsGoFlyers https://t.co/Nf8LPs793m
Zamula may start getting more PP time, per Torts, who says team still needs a consistent PP QB. #Flyers
Ersson will start for #Flyers. Zamula in, Staal out. They face Canucks at 10 on NBC Sports Phila.
With a win tonight the Flyers can move back into 2nd place in the Metropolitan. #LetsGoFlyers
