According to a report from the Philadelphia Inquirer, Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Sam Ersson will be called up to join Team Sweden's roster for the 4-Nations Face-Off in February if one of their two currently-injured goaltenders are unable to play.
Anders Lundberg, Sweden’s general manager, must quickly pivot to a new contingency plan for the 4 Nations Face-Off. Significant question marks surround the goaltending position as the injury has bitten weeks before the start of the inaugural tournament by taking out two of their top options in the crease.
After missing almost a month of action with a back injury, goalie Linus Ullmark looks like he'll be ready to return to the lineup soon. At that point, with Anton Forsberg and Leevi Merilainen, the Senators will have three available goalies. This just in: there isn't room on the bench for two backup goalies.
Ullmark is not guaranteed to play during the trip, but it appears he's getting closer after being considered week-to-week since early January. He has already missed 11 consecutive contests. Once Ullmark returns, the Senators will have a tough decision to make, as Leevi Merilainen has outplayed Anton Forsberg during Ullmark's absence.
Linus Ullmark traveled with the Senators for their three-game road trip that begins Sunday at the New Jersey Devils (1 p.m. ET; NHLN, RDS, TSN5, MSGSN). "He's coming on the road. ... We're still day by day,” coach Travis Green said of Ullmark following a 6-5 shootout win against the Boston Bruins on Saturday.

The diagnosis is more favorable than anticipated, but it adds insult to injury for a team that has struggled recently.
