Neuvirth was placed on long-term injured reserve Monday, Tim Panaccio of CSN Philadelphia reports.

EDGE Analysis

Although he was designated for long-term injured reserve, Neuvirth will not require surgery, Tim Panaccio also reports. Prior to getting hurt, the 28-year-old had edged out Steve Mason in the win column, despite posting a worse GAA and save percentage. Neither netminder has impressed and can probably be counted among the bottom-half of goaltending options considering their inconsistent play time and poor performances. With Neuvirth sidelined, the Flyers recalled Anthony Stolarz from the minors.
