Neuvirth (personal) has left the team to be with his wife for the birth of their child.

EDGE Analysis

While great news for the Neuvirth family, the goaltender's absence comes at a tough time for the Flyers, as the team is already without Brian Elliott (lower body). Down its top two netminders, Philadelphia will roll with Anthony Stolarz. To further bolster the crease, the Flyers recalled Alex Lyon from AHL Lehigh Valley on Thursday.

Neuvirth was pulled in Sunday's loss to Winnipeg after giving up three goals on 10 shots.

EDGE Analysis

Anthony Stolarz replaced Neuvirth, allowing four goals on what was supposed to be a night off. Neuvirth, playing in his first game since Oct. 27, did not look sharp. The 30-year-old Czech netminder has been irrelevant this season and offers no value in fantasy until his performance improves. It's unclear when Neuvirth's next opportunity to start will come.

Neuvirth will protect the net in Sunday's road game versus the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Neuvirth will make his first start since being activated from injured reserve due to an undisclosed injury. He'll face off against a tough opponent right out of the gate, as the Jets rank ninth in the league with 3.32 goals per game and fourth with a 27.3 power-play percentage.

Neuvirth (undisclosed) is no longer listed on injured reserve, per the NHL's official media site.

EDGE Analysis

The Flyers waived Calvin Pickard -- he joined the Coyotes organization on Thursday -- as one of the key indicators that Neuvirth's return is imminent. Still, the Czech goalie has been limited to one game this season, with Neuvy allowing six goals on 22 shots in an Oct. 27 home loss to the Islanders. The Flyers will have to decide whether he's going to start against host Pittsburgh on Saturday or ease him in as the backup to Anthony Stolarz.

Neuvirth (undisclosed) is listed as day-to-day, Wayne Fish of The Intelligencer reports.

EDGE Analysis

With the firing of general manager Ron Hextall, the Flyers seem a little more willing to reveal some injury information. Well, maybe not in regards to type of injury but recovery time. Last week, reports surfaced that Neuvirth would be out through the end of November, so considering there are only three days left in the month, last week's prognosis seems pretty accurate. The Flyers need him back as soon as possible.

Neuvirth (undisclosed) will not be fit to return until early December, Sam Carchidi of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Neuvirth has only appeared in one game this season -- he was shelled for six goals allowed against the Islanders on Oct. 27 -- and Philadelphia's 11th-year puck stopper remains on injured reserve for the time being.

Neuvirth (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Monday, retroactive to Oct. 30.

EDGE Analysis

Neuvirth has played only one game in 2018-19, a loss to the Islanders back on Oct. 27 that saw him give up six goals on 22 shots. Considering he's once again found himself bitten by the injury bug, there's little reason to expect Neuvirth to be a factor in fantasy moving forward. Steer clear of the 30-year-old netminder until he proves he can stay healthy.

Neuvirth missed morning skate Saturday, as he's traveling back to Philadelphia to be evaluated by team doctors.

EDGE Analysis

Neuvirth was blasted by the Islanders to the tune of six goals on 22 shots in his season debut last Saturday, and then the Flyers elected to keep him out for subsequent games in Anaheim and Los Angeles, respectively. We won't speculate too much on the matter, but the obvious concern is that he may have suffered a setback of some kind after starting the season late due to a groin injury. Brian Elliott and Calvin Pickard figure to hold down the fort as long as Neuvirth is out of commission.

Neuvirth allowed six goals on 22 shots in Saturday's 6-1 loss to the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

What a hit for daily owners. Philly's pain in the blue paint is now at least a couple decades old. This was Neuvirth's first start of the season and he won't get many more in the short term with efforts like that. Then again, he didn't get much help from his teammates. But Neuvirth didn't help himself, either. Gulp.

Neuvirth will defend the home net Saturday against the Islanders, Sam Carchidi of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Neuvirth returned to the roster Thursday in a backup capacity and will take to the Flyers' cage for the first time this season Saturday. The veteran netminder posted a 2.60 GAA and a .915 save percentage while splitting time with Brian Elliott a season ago and will look to get his 2018-19 season off to a good start against an Islanders club averaging 2.60 goals per game over four road contests so far this season.
