Michal Neuvirth (lower body) hasn't been on the ice for three straight days. "He's getting better from all accounts," Capitals coach Bruce Boudreau said. "He should be on the ice (Saturday) for practice. I don't know if he's going to be backing up (Saturday night) but we expect him to be on the ice practicing." The Capitals have sent Braden Holtby to AHL Hershey, but it would be possible for him to play in Hershey's game on Friday and still serve as the Capitals' backup on Saturday. Stay tuned.
