Neuvirth made 29 saves Tuesday en route to a 4-3 overtime win against visiting Carolina.

EDGE Analysis

Although this win came against a bad team and wasn't one of Neuvirth's most impressive efforts, it's just another instance of him outplaying the struggling Steve Mason. He's now started three games in a row since doing perfect relief work behind Mason a week ago against the Isles, and the results have been much better than what the ostensible No. 1 minder has brought to the table. This situation's clearly trending in Neuvirth's direction.
