Neuvirth will be in goal for Wednesday's game against the Capitals, Sam Carchidi of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

As a result of primary starter Steve Mason ruled out Wednesday with a lower-body injury, Neuvirth (who's dealing with a lower-body injury of his own) will receive the start. The team recalled Jason LaBarbera from AHL Las Vegas on emergency conditions Wednesday to back up Neuvirth, but he shouldn't see time between the pipes barring something unforeseen. The veteran Neuvirth has been good in the crease in limited opportunities this season, but will face an extremely tough matchup Wednesday against one of the league's best offenses in Washington.
