Michal Neuvirth

Michal Neuvirth starting in net for Flyers on Thursday

Philadelphia Flyers goalie Michal Neuvirth is starting Thursday against the Los Angeles Kings.

What It Means:

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.
