Neuvirth will not play in Saturday's game due to a lower-body injury and is considered day-to-day moving forward.
EDGE Analysis
Neuvirth played most of Thursday's game against the Hurricanes, but it appears he didn't emerge from the game unscathed. He wasn't present on the ice for Friday's practice and his absence Saturday led the Flyers to claim Mike McKenna off of waivers Friday. McKenna will serve as the backup for Carter Hart against the Flames, while Neuvirth's next chance to return arrives Monday against the Blues.

Neuvirth allowed five goals on 28 shots in Thursday's 5-3 home loss to the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
Neuvirth saw eight fewer shots than counterpart Petr Mrazek in this one, but his losing skid was extended to three games due to the Hurricanes blitzing him to the tune of four unanswered goals -- the scoring fray for the visitors began 1:56 into the second period and lasted until the 5:01 mark of the third. Philly would go on a three-goal run of its own, but the comeback bid fell short. Neuvirth must have better showings than this to hold off rookie netminder Carter Hart.

Neuvirth will tend the twine at home versus Carolina on Thursday, Bill Meltzer of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Neuvirth is back in the crease, despite going 1-1-1 with a 3.26 GAA in his previous four outings. The 30-year-old figures to continue splitting time with Carter Hart until Brian Elliott (lower body) is cleared to return, which limits his fantasy value.

Neuvirth will be the road starter in Tuesday's game versus the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Neuvirth relieved Carter Hart early in the second period of Monday's game versus the Hurricanes, and he was stellar, stopping all 23 shots. This will be just Neuvirth's fifth start of the season, and he should expect plenty of action since the Predators are tied for eighth in the league with 32.7 shots on goal per game.

Neuvirth made 23 saves and didn't allow a goal in about 36 minutes of relief during a 3-1 loss to the Hurricanes on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old excelled in relief, but the problem has been consistency. He yielded six goals last Thursday, but the previous Sunday, Neuvirth was great in a 3-2 win. Neuvirth may have earned the next start with this performance, but he's going to have to string together several good start in order to keep highly-touted prospect Carter Hart on the bench. Neuvirth is 1-2-1 with an .865 save percentage and 4.10 GAA in five games this season.

Neuvirth made 31 saves in a 6-5 overtime loss to the Lightning on Thursday night.
EDGE Analysis
It was a run-and-gun night for both goalies; Neuvirth just allowed one more. He has a 1-2-1 record with a 4.79 GAA and .835 save percentage. We'll just let that hang out there. #UglyStatLine

Neuvirth will patrol the blue paint for Thursday's road game versus Tampa Bay, Dave Isaac of the Courier Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Neuvirth returns to the crease following his 32-save victory over the Rangers before the Christmas break. The Czech netminder has struggled with injuries throughout the year and saw himself relegated to a backup role behind highly-touted prospect Carter Hart. If he can stay healthy, Neuvirth should see some action the rest of the way, although what the goaltending responsibilities look like once Brian Elliott (lower body) is cleared to return remains to be seen.

Neuvirth turned in his best performance of the season Sunday, making 32 saves in a 3-2 shootout win over New York.
EDGE Analysis
Carter Hart remains the only goalie in Philly worth owning, though, on this night, the oft-injured Neuvirth was stellar, especially in the final frame where he turned aside 12 of 13 shots to keep the game tied and force overtime. Following five scoreless minutes, Neuvirth stopped all four shooters in the shootout, paving the way for the Flyers to win for the third time in four games. His record improves to 1-2-0 on the year with a 4.33 GAA and .833 save percentage.

Neuvirth will draw the start against the Rangers on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Neuvirth has appeared in just two games this season around multiple injuries and, most recently, the birth of his child just last week. The 30-year-old is expected to split time with Carter Hart, the highly-touted rookie netminder. Neuvirth has posted a terrible 6.14 GAA and .719 save percentage this season, so his numbers really can't get much worse at this point.

Neuvirth (personal) rejoined the team at practice Monday following the birth of his child, Adam Kimelman of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Following an injury to Anthony Stolarz (lower body), Neuvirth will likely be forced to split time with highly-touted prospect Carter Hart. The oft-injured Neuvirth has appeared in just two games for the Flyers this season, in which he posted a 0-2-0 record with an abysmal 6.14 GAA.
