Neuvirth will assume the road net for Thursday's start against the Maple Leafs, Sam Carchidi of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Flyers rewarded Neuvirth with a two-year, $5 million contract extension only to park him on the bench in favor of Steve Mason for the following four games. However, Neuvy sailed to a victory against the Buds on Jan. 26 upon halting 27 of 28 shots, so that likely was on the mind of Flyers coach Dave Hakstol when he contemplated who to put in goal for this next contest. The Maple Leafs snapped a five-game losing streak with a home win over the Red Wings on Tuesday, and Neuvirth should see plenty of rubber with upcoming opponent averaging 32.7 shots per game, good for third in the league.
