The NHL announced today that Flyers goaltender Samuel Ersson has been added to Team Sweden’s roster ahead of the 2025 Four Nations Faceoff.

Ristolainen was the OT hero after a move and a loose puck just trickled by Red Wings goaltender Alex Lyon on a rush and a deke that got away from Owen Tippett in the blue paint. The defenseman was the one to crash in and clean it all up.

Ristolainen tapped a loose puck just across the goal line with 4:34 remaining in overtime. Detroit defenseman Moritz Seider tried to clear the puck from in front of the goal but happened to pin it against the post, allowing Ristolainen to have the easy tap-in.

But when a stretch of eight Metropolitan Division games out of nine ended on Thursday night, the Flyers’ 3-0 loss to the visiting New York Islanders left Philadelphia’s record at 3-4-1 for that key segment.

I’m going to call this game the first “must-win” for the Flyers heading down the stretch given the Islanders are one point behind them in the standings, but have three games in hand…. New York have also won five in a row,

The Flyers, who currently rank 19th on the PK, finished fourth last season and led the NHL with 16 shorthanded goals.

As a result of the New Jersey Devils number one netminder sidelined, Team Sweden was in need of another goaltender for the 4 Nations Fave-Off. On Wednesday, they named the replacement.

For the third time in two weeks, the Philadelphia Flyers will square off against the New Jersey Devils, this time at the Prudential Center.

This is the second of a home-and-home series. Philly won its home game on Monday, 4-2, over New Jersey, which will host the Wednesday matchup.

Flyers goaltender Samuel Ersson will replace the injured Jacob Markstrom for Team Sweden at the 4 Nations Face-Off.
