Michael Neuvirth landed on injured reserve and Brian Elliott is questionable after getting hurt in Sunday’s practice, so look for Calvin Pickard to start in Arizona. Pickard has gone 2-1-1 with a 4.51 GAA and .851 SV% this season. The Flyers other option is Alex Lyon, who was recalled this morning.
Pickard allowed one goal on three shots and earned the win in the shootout after replacing Brian Elliott on Tuesday.
