Flyers Injury Update: Steve Mason (flu) in New York; Radko Gudas (upper body) day to day

After Saturday night's eventful game against New Jersey, the Flyers' lineup is in a state of flux heading into Sunday's pivotal matchup against the Rangers at Madison Square Garden.

Let's start with the goaltenders.

Michal Neuvirth was released from the hospital Sunday afternoon and is home resting after collapsing Saturday night in the first period of the 3-0 win over New Jersey. General manager Ron Hextall said all tests on Neuvirth came back "normal." CSNPhilly.com Flyers Insider Tim Panaccio has more on Neuvirth's condition here.

Steve Mason, who missed Saturday's contest with a flu bug that has been going around the locker room, is in New York with the Flyers. As of Sunday afternoon, goalie Alex Lyon has not been called up from the Phantoms, so that could mean Mason is feeling well enough to dress Sunday. But considering Mason wasn't well enough to dress Saturday, odds could be in high favor of Anthony Stolarz starting against the Rangers.

The Flyers' defensive corps has taken a hit, too, as Radko Gudas is day to day with an upper-body injury. In the second period of Saturday's win, Gudas absorbed a hit from New Jersey's Dalton Prout and stayed down on the ice while holding his head. The hit was in retaliation to an open-ice hit Gudas laid on the Devils' John Quenneville moments earlier. Gudas came back into the game for a short period of time, but eventually left and did not return.

Nick Schultz will likely draw into the lineup in Gudas' absence.
