Ersson, 25, has not played since exiting the Flyers' Dec. 31 contest against the San Jose Sharks early due to a lower-body injury. He was excellent during that start before getting injured, saving all 15 shots he faced.

Ersson certainly has a big challenge ahead of him in his return, as the Stars are one of the top teams in the NHL. At this point of the season, they have a 25-13-1 record and have won five straight games.

In 19 games this season, Ersson has a 9-6-2 record, a .884 save percentage, and a 3.02 goals-against average.
