Neuvirth and crease colleague Steve Mason were set to become unrestricted free agents at season's end.
In 24 appearances this season, Neuvirth has a 10-9-1 record and a .887 save percentage.
As always, it's important to keep this in mind with Vegas set to join the NHL.
It's expected that the Flyers will make Neuvirth available for the expansion draft and protect Anthony Stolarz, as their only goaltender.
