Neuvirth is in line to start Wednesday against the Bruins, Sam Carchidi of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
In Neuvirth's last two starts, he's 2-0 with a pair of shutouts and 61 saves. While Steve Mason looked like the clear-cut starter coming into the season, Neuvirth has been nothing short of excellent over the past week. He'll look to keep this remarkable goalless streak going against the Bruins.

Neuvirth was perfect Wednesday, turning aside all 30 shots in a 3-0 win over the visiting Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
That's back-to-back shutouts for the eighth-year NHLer, who also pitched a goose egg against the Panthers on Monday. Neuvirth has been called to duty the last two games in relief of starter Steve Mason who sat out to attend to a family matter, so it's worth keeping an eye on to see if the Flyers give him a couple more looks based on his strong play before turning back to Mason.

Neuvirth will start in net Wednesday against the Blackhawks, Bill Meltzer of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
While Steve Mason (personal) is expected to rejoin the Flyers for Wednesday's game, he will not start between the pipes. As a result, Neuvirth will once again receive the starting nod, looking for another good outing following a 31-save shutout of the Panthers on Monday.

Neuvirth notched a shutout Monday, stopping all 31 shots in the win over the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
With Steve Mason away from the team to deal with a personal matter, Neuvirth filled in and was great in relief. Playing behind a bad Sabres team for most of the season, the 27-year-old posted a GAA that was only barely below 3.00 last season but already looks better this year. He'll likely continue to fill in while Mason is away.

Neuvirth relieved starter Steve Mason early in the first period Saturday after the Flyers went down 4-0 to the Panthers. He stopped 19 of 22 shots.
EDGE Analysis
Mason couldn't stop a beach ball and Neuvirth came on to face a supremely confident Panthers' squad. Neuvirth has loads of potential and the Flyers won't hesitate to put him in the net if Mason falters.

Neuvirth (lower body) appears to be healthy and is practicing ahead of Thursday's season opener against the Lightning, Tim Panaccio of Comcast Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Neuvirth was banged up during the preseason and dealing with general soreness, but should be ready to be Steve Mason's backup for the start of the season. Neuvirth struggled for the Sabres last season and then with the Islanders after coming over at the deadline, posting a 7-20-4 record with a 2.98 goals against average and a .914 save percentage.

EDGE Analysis
Neuvirth reportedly took a maintenance day Monday to recover from his nagging ailment, which is said to be minor. The Czech goalie only managed seven wins in 32 starts between the Sabres and Islanders last season, but now he's looking at a fresh start with the Flyers stopping pucks second fiddle to Steve Mason.
