Neuvirth stopped 25 of 27 shots en route to a 3-2 shootout win over the Islanders on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Neuvirth's triumph in Brooklyn is his third straight win despite allowing a combined eight goals on 81 shots during that span. Considering he's made four of the last five starts for Philly, it's well within reason to say that Neuvirth has distanced himself some from Steve Mason for the starting gig, although it wouldn't be surprising to see the Flyers keep a short leash on him and not hesitate to turn to Mase the next time Neuvirth falters.
