DENVER — The Flyers hope veteran goaltender Michal Neuvirth will help their playoff push.
As expected, Neuvirth was activated and will start Wednesday night against the Colorado Avalanche in Denver.
Alex Lyon was sent to the AHL’s Phantoms. The 25-year-old rookie did a solid job with the Flyers, compiling a 4-2-1 record, a 2.75 goals-against average, and a .905 save percentage.
In fact, he outperformed veteran Petr Mrazek during his stint with the Flyers.
On Tuesday, general manger Ron Hextall said Lyon would probably stay with the Flyers when Neuvirth was activated, but he changed his mind.
