Per general manager Ron Hextall, Neuvirth (groin) is "days, not weeks" away from being cleared for game action, Sam Carchidi of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

While this is positive news for Neuvirth, it won't mean much for fantasy owners, as Brian Elliott is currently locked in as the Flyers' starting netminder, and Calvin Pickard has emerged as a capable backup during Neuvirth's absence. The 30-year-old netminder will likely be nothing more than a streaming option this season.
