Neuvirth (lower body) is still considered day-to-day ahead of Wednesday's matchup against the Penguins, Bill Meltzer of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Neuvirth last dressed for the Flyers on March 28 against the Avalanche and has missed 25 of the last 26 games. There's no indication of when he may rejoin the lineup, but Philadelphia could certainly use his services after two poor showings from Brian Elliott. Elliott will likely man the net in Game 4 with Neuvirth slated to sit out again.

Neuvirth (lower body) won't suit up for Game 3 against the Penguins on Sunday, Adam Kimelman of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Since Neuvirth would've been in a backup role anyway, it's not a huge deal for the Flyers. Instead, Petr Mrazek will take a seat on the bench to back up starter Brian Elliott.

Neuvirth (lower body) won't dress for Friday's Game 2 against the Penguins, Sam Carchidi of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Neuvirth hasn't played since he suffered a lower-body injury March 28 against the Avalanche, and Philadelphia has yet to release any details regarding a potential timetable for his return. With Neuvirth still on the shelf, the Flyers will once again roll with Brian Elliott as their starter and Petr Mrazek as their backup against the Penguins on Friday.

Neuvirth (lower body) is still day-to-day and won't be in the lineup Wednesday for Game 1 against the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
This isn't a huge issue for the Flyers, as Brian Elliott is starting and likely would be even if Neuvirth was healthy. With the 30-year-old still out, Petr Mrazek will serve as Elliott's backup and won't play unless something goes wrong.

Neuvirth (lower body) is considered day-to-day moving forward, likely ruling him out for Sunday's game against the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Neuvirth's injury prompted the Flyers to recall Alex Lyon from AHL Lehigh Valley on emergency conditions Saturday. The day-to-day tag provides some encouragement that the issue may not be overly serious. However, his next opportunity to return doesn't arrive until Tuesday, giving Neuvirth a few days to rest up.

Neuvirth is dealing with a lower-body injury and will undergo additional tests Thursday, Sam Carchidi of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Neuvirth can't catch a break, having just returned Wednesday from a lower-body issue that kept him out of the lineup. Although the team hasn't released further details yet and likely won't until he's examined again, it's reasonable to wonder if he aggravated the previous lower-body injury against the Avalanche. Alex Lyon -- who the team sent to the AHL in correspondence with Neuvirth's activation Wednesday -- would likely rejoin the active roster if Neuvirth isn't available for Sunday's game against the Bruins.

Neuvirth left the ice and went immediately to the dressing room during the second period of Wednesday's game against the Avalanche, John Shannon of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
All indications are that Neuvirth is dealing with an injury of some sort. That would be a tough blow for the veteran netminder, who was activated from injured reserve just Wednesday after an absence of over a month. More information on his situation will likely either later in the game or after the contest when coach Dave Hakstol addresses the media, but it's certainly not a good sign. Petr Mrazek replaced him in net and will likely retake primary netminding duties should Neuvirth be sidelined further.

Neuvirth (lower body) will start between the pipes Wednesday against the Avalanche in Denver, Sam Carchidi of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Neuvirth was activated from injured reserve Wednesday in preparation for his first start since Feb. 18 against the Rangers. The veteran netminder hasn't been fazed on the road this season, owning a 2.63 GAA and a .917 save percentage that nearly mirrors his home stats. Those numbers will be put to the test Wednesday against an Avalanche squad that averages 3.53 goals per game at home this season.

Neuvirth (lower body) was activated from injured reserve Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Surprisingly, the Flyers have a realistic chance to claim a playoff spot despite Petr Mrazek -- who was pried away from the Red Wings ahead of the trade deadline -- posting an .885 save percentage over 14 starts, and freshly demoted rookie Alex Lyon getting three starts of his own over that span. Neuvirth has gone 8-7-3 with a 2.61 GAA and .915 save percentage this season; it's widely expected that he'll get most of the work in goal for Philadelphia now that he's healthy.

Neuvirth (lower body) will not be available for Tuesday's road game against the Stars, The Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Petr Mrazek reportedly has received the starting nod while rookie Alex Lyon serves in a backup capacity. However, the Flyers haven't ruled out the possibility of Neuvith returning against the Avalanche in Colorado on Wednesday.
