Michal Neuvirth: Released from PTO
The Maple Leafs released Michal Neuvirth from his professional tryout agreement Tuesday.This news doesn't come as a surprise, as the oft-injured Neuvirth wasn't even able to get through Toronto's training camp without missing time due to an undisclosed issue, so there was no way that the Maple Leafs could trust him as their backup heading into the 2019-20 campaign. The 31-year-old will likely have to head overseas to continue his playing career.

Maple Leafs' Michal Neuvirth: Not feeling up to trip to Montreal
Michal Neuvirth was not on the ice Monday and did not make the trip to Montreal, reports the Toronto Sun.Neuvirth already missed time last week due to an undisclosed issue. All coach Mike Babcock would say post-practice Monday was, "Neuvy was not feeling up to it so he's not going today." The goaltender has a history of injuries, so this unknown problem looks to be muddying the picture for the Leafs' backup role. Michael Hutchinson may have the inside track but has been wobbly so far in the preseason (five goals on 34 shots).

Maple Leafs' Michal Neuvirth: Secures PTO
Michal Neuvirth (lower body) will join Toronto on a professional tryout for training camp, Bill Meltzer of NHL.com reports.Neuvirth dealt with a lower-body issue for much of the 2018-19 campaign, which is likely why the team is hesitant to sign him outright.

Michal Neuvirth went 1-4-1 with a 4.27 GAA and .859 save percentage during seven appearances, including six starts, during the 2018-19 season.The veteran netminder dealt with multiple injuries and as a result, he barely played this past season. Neuvirth didn't make his season debut until Oct. 27 because of offseason hip surgery, but then after that loss, he didn't play again for six weeks due to an undisclosed ailment.

Although Michal Neuvirth (lower body) remains without a timetable for his return, the Philadelphia Flyers hope he'll be able to resume skating late next week.Neuvirth has been dealing with various injuries for most of the 2018-19 campaign, so the Flyers are undoubtedly going to proceed with extreme caution this time around to ensure he's fully healthy before returning to game action. The 30-year-old netminder should still be considered out indefinitely at this point, but a more clear-cut timetable for his recovery should be established once he's able to return to practice with his teammates.

Flyers' Michal Neuvirth: Won't dress against Blues
Michal Neuvirth (lower body) will be out of action versus St. Louis on Monday, per Adam Kimelman of NHL.com.Neuvirth once again is dealing with an injury, which figures to see Carter Hart and Mike McKenna split the upcoming back-to-back against the Blues and Capitals on Monday and Tuesday, respectively. When Neuvirth might be ready to return remains to be seen, but even once healthy, the veteran could struggle to earn minutes given his poor performances this season (a 1-4-1 record and 4.26 GAA in seven outings).
