Sam Ersson's lacklustre performance in goal is not (fully) his fault, even though he does not look good on paper. Granted, he had not played in nearly twenty days prior to his season debut in Texas. Going long stints of not getting games in, with Carter Hart taking over priority. However, John Tortorella has confidence in Ersson, ie: starting on Saturday against Pittsburgh, in a non-back-to-back situation. His play has distractedly improved but at the beginning of the season, things were scarce.
