Neuvirth will work between the pipes Thursday as the home starter against the Wild, Dave Isaac of the Courier-Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

There was wide speculation that Neuvirth would defer to Steve Mason in this contest after the former coughed up three goals on 21 shots versus the Hurricanes as recently as Tuesday night, but evidently that won't be the case. Neuvy will look to stymie a Minnesota team that is 4-1-0 under interim coach John Torchetti.
