NEW YORK – This is not a recording: The Flyers lost another starting goaltender.
For the second time in eight days, a Flyers goalie had to leave a game with an injury. This time, it was Michal Neuvirth, who was apparently injured trying to stop a two-on-one New York Rangers rush toward the end of the first period Sunday.
With the score tied at 3-3, Neuvirth was replaced by Alex Lyon at the start of the second period in a game the Flyers won, 7-4, at Madison Square Garden.
Lyon excelled in relief as the the Flyers increased their points streak to eight games (6-0-2) and inched to within three points of first-place Washington in the Metropolitan Division.
