Swayman Earns Overtime Win
Jeremy Swayman made 35 saves in a 3-2 overtime win over Ottawa on Thursday. Swayman was dialed in Thursday and gave his team a chance to come from behind to win. His coach Jim Montgomery was effusive after the game, saying Swayman was the team’s best breakout defenseman. The win is Swayman’s fifth straight, a span in which he’s allowed just eight goals.
Ersson Gets No Help in Loss
Samuel Ersson made 14 saves in Thursday’s 3-0 loss to the Red Wings. All three tallies came in the second period as the Philly defense gave up some prime scoring chances, including on an Andrew Copp shorthanded goal when it was hard to tell which team was down a skater. Ersson has lost three straight starts and given up 11 goals on 69 shots (.841 save percentage) while doing it, but the 24-year-old seems entrenched for now as the Flyers’ No. 1 netminder.
