Michal Neuvirth

Flyers asking Michal Neuvirth to patrol post Wednesday night

Philadelphia Flyers goalie Michal Neuvirth will start on Wednesday night against the Washington Capitals.

What It Means:

Neuvirth ended a two-game losing streak on Sunday by stopping 28 of 30 shots against the Vancouver Canucks. He'll look to make it two in a row tonight, but that might not be easy against the NHL's second-best offense in the Capitals (3.34 goals per game). For the season, Neuvirth owns a 10-7-1 record with a 2.78 goals-against average and an .890 save percentage.

numberFire's models rank Neuvirth as the worst goalie available for fantasy purposes on Wednesday night's short three-game slate. We expect him to allow 2.8 goals and make 23.8 saves while having only a 27.0 percent chance of earning the win.
