It ended 6-0 in the end for Philadelphia and Ersson, a 25-year-old with roots in Falun, scored his second shutout in less than two weeks. He stopped all shots, also in the match against San Jose on New Year's Eve.
Jacob Markström stood in the way of enough goal attempts when New Jersey won over Tampa Bay with 3-2.
He made another incredible save, with his glove, on the goal line when Tampa's Brandon Hagel already seemed to be on his way to celebrate a goal that would have meant 2-3 behind for New Jersey with less than four minutes left. Markström held out for the remaining minutes of regular playing time and New Jersey's Stefan Noesen could decide in overtime.
In New York Islanders, former Örebro resident Marcus Högberg got the chance for the fourth match this season. He responded by saving 22 shots and only letting in one. Islanders won against Utah away with 2-1.
