PHILADELPHIA -- One month into the season, the Philadelphia Flyers are searching for a goaltender who can pull them out of mediocrity.On Saturday night theyll be facing a team whose goaltender is playing his best hockey of the season.Steve Mason was torched for six goals in the Flyers 6-3 loss to the Maple Leafs in Toronto Friday night, which makes it all but certain Michal Neuvirth will get the start against the Wild. It will be the Flyers fifth back-to-back games of the season.Minnesota, meanwhile, is expected to turn to goaltender Devan Dubnyk, who has given up six goals in his last 21 periods and is 4-2-0 with an 0.84 goals-against average, .974 save percentage and three shutouts in his last six starts.Neuvirth is 4-2-0 with a 3.57 GAA and .859 save percentage. Hes coming off a 5-4 loss to the Canadiens on Saturday, which came after Neuvirth strung together three straight wins.Led by two goals from Wayne Simmonds, who now leads the team with eight, and another by Travis Konecny, the Flyers (6-7-2) carried a 3-2 lead into the third period in Toronto on Friday night, only to see the Maple Leafs score four third-period goals on Mason, who has surrendered three or more goals in six of his eight starts this season.You cant win is you only play 40 minutes, Konecny told the Philadelphia Inquirer after picking up his fourth goal.The Wild (7-4-1) are coming off perhaps their most impressive win of the season, a 4-2 win in Pittsburgh on Thursday. Eric Staal had three points and broke a 2-2 tie in the third period and Dubnyk turned aside 39 of 41 shots in the win.Thats a difficult task after as many days off as we had to go up against that group, Dubnyk told the Star Tribune. It was a tough first 10 minutes. They were flying, and we were trying to get our feet and hands going again.But I thought we reacted real well after their (first) power-play goal and perfectly continued to get better as each minute went by in that game. Real big win for us.The Wild recorded a season-high 44 shots in the win, which snapped a two-game losing streak, and were credited with 32 hits.The Wild allowed two power-play goals to the Penguins but still lead the NHL on the penalty kill.Flyers coach Dave Hakstol shook things up against the Maple Leafs. Left winger Michael Raffl was replaced by Nick Cousins and defenseman Brandon Manning, who struggled Tuesday night against the Red Wings, was replaced by Nick Schultz.Schultz was paired with Shayne Gostisbehere on the Flyers top pairing, while Michael Del Zotto, who had been paired with Gostisbehere, played alongside Radko Gudas. Aron Baynes Jersey .ca. Hey Kerry, big fan of yours, just finished reading your book. I think that we all saw the Canucks/Flames line brawl just after puck drop. It was obvious that something was about to happen, even to the referees because the fourth lines were on to start. Mikal Bridges Jersey . It is a cliché dragged out by fans and pundits regularly when discussions take place around which teams are better than others. https://www.cheapsunsonline.com/ . A knee to the thigh might have stung him the most, but his sixth straight double-double made up for the brief burst of pain. Cedric Ceballos Jersey . -- Anaheim Ducks defenceman Luca Sbisa will be out at least six weeks with a torn tendon in his right hand. Eddie Johnson Jersey . -- Bobby Ryan helped the U. FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The New England Patriots have no plans at this time to add another quarterback before Thursdays home game against the Houston Texans, sources tell ESPNs Adam Schefter.That leaves New England with one healthy quarterback, rookie Jacoby Brissett, on a short week of preparation.Part of the Patriots thinking could be that there simply isnt enough time to get a quarterback up to speed on such a quick turnaround [the Patriots dont have a quarterback on the practice squad], and it also isnt worth cutting another player on the roster in that situation.Another line of thinking is that while its a long shot, Jimmy Garoppolo could still dress for the game as a No. 2 emergency option Thursday and run a limited portion of the offense if needed. Garoppolos right throwing shoulder has a sprained AC joint, according to sources, and the team hasnt ruled out hope that he could be an option Thursday.Julian Edelman, who playedd quarterback at Kent State before switching to receiver when the Patriots drafted him in 2009, would likely be the other emergency option.ddddddddddddAfter Garoppolos injury Sunday, the possibility of the Patriots signing another quarterback was widely discussed in media circles, but the early indications Monday were that the Patriots werent thinking along the same lines.Im not sure exactly what the situation is going to be, Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels said Monday on sports radio WEEI. I think a lot of that will be determined later [Monday] relative to Jimmys whole situation and what its going to be. Im sure if he cant play or back up, then well be going through that process [Monday].Later on WEEI, coach Bill Belichick said the team possibly will work out a free-agent quarterback. ' ' '
