EDGE Analysis

After being cleared to play on Thursday following an upper-body injury, Neuvirth starts the second leg of back-to-back games. Neuvirth was playing the best hockey of his career before being injured, posting a 1.55 goals against average and .947 save percentage through four games. If Neuvirth can resume this level of play, expect him to challenge current number one goalie Steve Mason for the starting role.
