The Philadelphia Flyers' AHL affiliate, the Lehigh Valley Phantoms, have found stability in their goaltending duo, consisting of Samuel Ersson and Felix Sandstrom. Both goalies have shown considerable growth and promise, allowing the Phantoms to be competitive in their league. With the Phantoms aiming for a playoff spot, the performance of Ersson and Sandstrom will be crucial in the upcoming weeks.

Ersson has particularly stood out this season, often pulling off remarkable saves that have helped his team secure important victories. His quick reflexes and ability to read plays make him a key asset in goal. Conversely, Sandstrom, known for his strong work ethic, has been working hard to improve his consistency. Together, they form a reliable tandem that head coach Ian Laperriere believes can carry the team through the rest of the season.

As the Phantoms work toward their goals, both goalies have garnered attention from NHL scouts, eager to see how their careers develop. The Flyers organization is hopeful that these two can transition to the NHL and become mainstays in the Philadelphia lineup in the future. For now, they remain focused on the task at hand, providing stability and leadership in the crease for the Phantoms.
