Michal Neuvirth, who has been out of action with an ankle injury, will play in the AHL with Hershey this weekend on a conditioning assignment. "I believe he's going to play [Friday] and see how he feels for Saturday maybe play two in a row, maybe not," Capitals coach Adam Oates said. "We'll talk about Sunday when he gets there and see how he responds." He might be back on Washington's roster as early as Sunday.
