Don't be surprised if Michal Neuvirth gets the start in goal for Washington when the Caps visit the Calgary Flames tonight. First-string goalie Braden Holtby came within 2:04 of his first shutout of the season in Thursday night's Washington win against Edmonton, and has been arguably the Caps' best player on the ice in three straight victories. But Adam Oates said Michal Neuvirth would get one of these starts on the road trip and Saturday's seems like a good choice. Neuvirth [1-1-1] has appeared in just two of the Caps' 10 games this season, including a 27-save effort in relief of Holtby in the Caps' home win over Calgary on Oct. 3.
