Samuel Ersson practiced Friday with a smaller group a day after being activated off injured reserve.<\/p>\n
The 26-year-old goaltender was able to back up Dan Vladar for the Flyers’ 3-1 win Thursday night over the Predators<\/a>. Vladar played both games on the Flyers’ 2-0-0 road trip. Tuesday’s win went to a shootout<\/a>, while Thursday’s win required a busy effort from Vladar.<\/p>\n Ersson’s workload in practice was clearly monitored, a potential sign that the Flyers didn’t want to overwork him before a 1 p.m. ET start Saturday. The Flyers host the Senators on NBCSP. We’ll see if Ersson gets the net for the first time in a week and a half.<\/p>\n “Ersson’s going to practice today, get some shots, a few guys will go on today, and then we’ll make a decision for him if he can play tomorrow,” Rick Tocchet said Friday. “He seems healthy, but we’ll see, they’ll take a look after practice.”<\/p>\n Samuel Ersson practicing today with smaller group.<\/p>\n Sounds like he\u2019ll be an option to start Saturday. Rick Tocchet said Flyers will see how he does in practice and make a decision from there. pic.twitter.com\/gHDkPYKZM6<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Jordan Hall (@JHallNBCS) November 7, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n Tyson Foerster skated in a T-shirt and shorts as he tested out his lower-body injury under the watch of head athletic trainer Tommy Alva.<\/p>\n The 23-year-old winger was placed on injured reserve Monday<\/a>, a stint\u00a0retroactive to last Saturday, when he had a painful blocked shot<\/a>.<\/p>\n The earliest Foerster can return is Wednesday when the Flyers host the Oilers (7:30 p.m. ET\/NBCSP).<\/p>\n The Flyers on Friday called up Carl Grundstrom, a winger they acquired in the Ryan Ellis trade<\/a>.

The victories weren’t perfect, but they were a good response to a poor back-to-back set at home last weekend<\/a>.<\/p>\n “An identity is to have resiliency,” Tocchet said. “You’re not going to have your A game; can you win on your B game or your C game? That takes resolve and I saw that on this trip.”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t
