The 27-year-old played two periods prior to exiting, allowing three goals on 18 shots against New Jersey. General manager Ron Hextall said he expects Neuvirth to be ready to serve as Steve Mason's backup for the Oct. 8 regular-season opener, but also mentioned Jason LaBarbera as the fallback option in case Neuvirth is not cleared.
