Michal Neuvirth starting in net for Flyers on Thursday
Philadelphia Flyers goalie Michal Neuvirth is starting Thursday against the Los Angeles Kings.
Neuvirth gets the nod after Brian Elliott gave up 3 goals in the Flyers win over the San Jose Sharks on Wednesday's season-opener. Last season, Neuvirth had a 2.82 goals against average and a .891 save percentage, with 11 wins in 24 starts.
Our models project Neuvirth for a 3.10 goals against average and a .89 save percentage, with 9 wins in 27 games this season.
