EDGE Analysis

The Flyers are set to start Alex Lyon during Thursday's contest, as they'll attempt to keep Neuvirth off the ice while he recovers from an illness. However, he'll be available in an emergency situation as the backup if needed. Once the regular season hits, Neuvirth is expected to start at goalie, though he'll have to hold off Brian Elliott.
