Neuvirth will guard the cage in Thursday's road game against the Blues, Sam Carchidi of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Neuvirth has been solid in limited action this season, registering a 2.30 GAA and .925 save percentage in four appearances, but a lack of offensive support from his teammates has led to him posting a disappointing 1-3-0 record over that span. He'll look to snap a two-game losing streak Thursday in a tough road matchup with a red-hot Blues team that's currently riding a four-game winning streak.

Neuvirth allowed five goals on 28 shots in Thursday's loss to the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
Brian Elliott has disappointed since arriving in Philadelphia, but Neuvirth didn't fare much better Thursday. It was the first dud of the year for the 29-year-old, who is sporting a .925 save percentage in four starts. Even with his lackluster effort against Ottawa, Neuvirth should still see plenty of action moving forward. He's been better than Elliott overall and is capable of stealing games when he's at his best.

Neuvirth will man the crease for Thursday's matchup with Ottawa, Sam Carchidi of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
While Brian Elliott has already been named the team's No. 1 goaltender, Neuvirth has put together some strong performances in his three starts to date. Despite a 1-2-0 record, Neuvirth has eye-popping marks of 1.36 GAA and .957 save percentage. Neuvirth will be hoping for some scoring support from his teammates as he tries to defeat a Senators team that has averaged 4.00 goals per game over their last three contests.

Neuvirth saved 23 of 24 shots during Thursday's 1-0 loss to Nashville.
EDGE Analysis
Neuvirth has been sharp early this season with a .957 save percentage and 1.36 GAA through three contests, and he's actually outplayed Brian Elliott, who owns underwhelming .884 and 3.25 marks. As a result, Neuvirth has probably earned close to a 50-50 timeshare of starts moving forward. Don't ignore Neuvirth in seasonal setting. He checks out as a serviceable depth option.

Neuvirth will be between the pipes against the Predators on Thursday, Sam Carchidi of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Neuvirth will start consecutive games for the first time this season after a 40-save performance against the Panthers on Tuesday. While the Flyers are sitting in fourth in the Metropolitan Division at 4-2-0, starter Brian Elliott has underwhelmed with a 3.25 GAA. If Elliott continues to struggle, it could open the door for Neuvirth to take over as the No. 1 in the City of Brotherly Love.

Neuvirth saved 40 of 41 shots during Tuesday's 5-1 win over Florida.
EDGE Analysis
This was a dominant showing from Neuvirth, and he's going to start pushing Brian Elliott for starts moving forward if his strong play continues. Elliott has been locked in as the No. 1 netminder to start the season, but he's not taking the job and running with it by posting a .884 save percentage and 3.25 GAA through four outings. For now, Neuvirth is nothing more than a depth option in most leagues, but he's definitely on the streamer radar and owns the potential to play his way into more starts.

Neuvirth will occupy the goal for Tuesday night's matchup with the Panthers, Sam Carchidi of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Neuvirth will make his second start of the season after largely ceding the starting duties to Brian Elliott in the early going. Neuvirth was serviceable in his first appearance, allowing only two goals during a visit to Los Angeles, but was unable to walk away with the W. The Czech goalie's skills could really be put to the test against a Florida offense that currently ranks fifth in the league with 4.00 goals per game, albeit after only four contests.

Neuvirth was beaten twice on 27 shots in Thursday's 2-0 loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Neuvirth held his own in his first start of the season, but was simply outplayed by Los Angeles' Jonathan Quick, who turned aside all 35 shots he faced. The two goalies had matching shutouts going before Trevor Lewis beat Neuvirth 6:16 into the second period and Tyler Toffoli added an insurance tally with 2:21 left in the third. Neuvirth should continue to mix in as an oft-used backup to Brian Elliott, who won 5-3 on Opening Night.

Neuvirth will start in goal for Thursday night's contest in Los Angeles, Dave Isaac of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
After Brian Elliott led the Flyers to an Opening Night win in San Jose on Wednesday, Neuvirth will handle the starting duties to give the regular starter a breather. The Czech national has just one win in five career appearances against the Kings, but he's still managed an impressive .929 save percentage and 1.85 GAA against the West Coast squad, making him an intriguing pick in DFS formats.

Neuvirth (illness) is listed on the roster report for the team's regular-season opener against the Sharks on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Although Neuvirth won't start the Opening Night contest, he is available off the bench if needed and is the expected starter for the club Thursday in the second of a back-to-back set to open the season. The duo is expected to share duties for the Flyers in 2017.
