Neuvirth stopped all 16 shots he faced in relief Tuesday against the Islanders, but was stuck with a loss after giving up the only goal of the shootout.

EDGE Analysis

And that's how you take a 4-3 loss without giving up a goal. Although this defeat ends his three-game winning streak, it's just another example of how drastically Neuvirth's outplayed ostensible starter Steve Mason. His .937 save mark and 2.00 GAA over 13 games (11 starts) are light years ahead of Mason's rate stats, and it wouldn't be surprising to see the 27-year-old Czech take over a majority share of duties in the Philadelphia net.
