Samuel Ersson | Fantasy Outlook
Ersson slated to back up Ullmark tonight in New Jersey
Samuel Ersson is slated to back up starter Linus Ullmark (confirmed) tonight as the Ottawa Senators travel to Prudential Center to face the New Jersey Devils. Ottawa sits at a strong 4-1-0 on the season but enters this road matchup as slight underdogs in an average scoring environment opposite New Jersey netminder Nico Daws (confirmed). Ersson holds a backup role on the depth chart and saw his ownership settle near 2% following two early-season appearances where he posted a 2.50 GAA and .886 save percentage. With Ullmark locked in between the pipes, Ersson should watch from the bench.
Given his backup assignment for tonight, our daily projection reflects no expected saves, zero win probability, and 0.0 fantasy points. While there is always an outside chance of emergency relief duty, his fantasy utility tonight is essentially nonexistent. Looking at the broader week, Ottawa has four total games on the schedule, and our models project Ersson to capture around ~31 saves with a 1.03 GAA if he garners a spot start later in the week. For tonight’s contest against the Devils, however, he cannot be trusted in active rosters. Today’s action: Bench.
