The Senators backup hasn't inspired much confidence in his play and the Senators need him to improve before it's too late
SenShot argues that Ottawa Senators backup goaltender Samuel Ersson must drastically improve his performance to remain a reliable option behind starter Linus Ullmark. Following a seven-goal defeat against the St. Louis Blues, Ersson's statistics dropped to a 5.26 goals against average and an .829 save percentage through his early-season starts.
The writer notes that while defensive lapses contributed, Ersson struggled with rebound control and decision-making against both the St. Louis Blues and Detroit Red Wings. SenShot suggests another poor outing could prompt general manager Steve Staios to turn to goaltender Jonas Johansson.
