EDGE Analysis

Neuvirth produced arguably the best season of his career during the 2015-16 campaign, posting a 2.27 GAA and .924 save percentage en route to a 18-8 record (four OTL). He'll have a hard test in the first official game of tournament play as he faces off against a Canadian squad that is hungry for a second consecutive World Cup of Hockey title.
