Neuvirth will tend the twine for Wednesday night's showdown with the Capitals, Sam Carchidi of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

With one disastrous outing against the Oilers aside, Neuvirth's play has been solid lately, though his defense has definitely played a role in that -- the Czech goalie has allowed two goals or fewer while facing 24 shots or fewer in his last three outings, not including the Edmonton game. The Capitals rank 17th in the NHL with 29.8 shots per game, but they're still no strangers to scoring as they currently rank second in the league with 3.34 goals per game. Neuvirth will likely need his slumping offense to step up if he wants to get the victory on Wednesday.
