Neuvirth will get the starting nod in net Monday against the Hurricanes, Sam Carchidi of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Analysis:

Neuvrith hasn't returned to net since he's been deemed healthy from a previous upper-body injury, but that will come to fruition Monday as he looks to pick up where he left off before the issue. In nine appearances, Neuvirth sports a 2.08 GAA and a .939 save percentage that's earned him just a 3-3-1 record. While he continues to be a solid presence in net, the Flyers' lack of scoring (1.70 goals per game, worst in the league) tends to be the biggest detriment to his potential for wins when he does get a chance between the pipes. However, he'll square off against a Hurricanes club Monday that has also struggled to put the puck home, giving him a decent matchup for daily formats.
