Michal Neuvirth (ankle) has completed his AHL conditioning stint. Neuvirth kicked out 33 of 37 shots in his only game during his time with the Hershey Bears. Washington will play on Friday and Saturday, so there's a decent chance that Neuvirth will start in one of those contests.

Michal Neuvirth is back up with the Capitals and he practiced with the team on Monday. Washington will bring Neuvirth along with them on their round in addition to goalies Braden Holtby and Philipp Grubauer. Neuvirth's injured ankle appears to be healed.

Michal Neuvirth (ankle) is scheduled to play on Sunday in the AHL as his Hershey Bears take on Binghamton. Neuvirth was hurt on November 29 when he stepped on a puck. He was slated to play for Hershey on Friday but did not, instead giving up four goals on 37 shots in a 7-4 win over Binghamton Saturday. He has a 2-3-1 record with a 2.83 GAA and a .912 save percentage with the Capitals this season.

Michal Neuvirth, who has been out of action with an ankle injury, will play in the AHL with Hershey this weekend on a conditioning assignment. "I believe he's going to play [Friday] and see how he feels for Saturday maybe play two in a row, maybe not," Capitals coach Adam Oates said. "We'll talk about Sunday when he gets there and see how he responds." He might be back on Washington's roster as early as Sunday.

Michal Neuvirth (ankle) took part in his first full practice in a week. "It's getting better every day and I'm happy I made it through the first practice, it's a good first step. Just gotta keep moving forward and get better," Neuvirth said. "Obviously having just one practice, I don't think I'll be ready for the game with just one practice." He has a 2.83 GAA and .912 save percentage in seven games this season.

Michal Neuvirth (lower body) has been placed on injured reserve. He suffered an injury to his right leg when he stepped on a puck during warmups prior to a game on Nov. 29 against Montreal. Philipp Grubauer will remain with the Capitals as the team's backup while Neuvirth is injured. He isn't eligible to return until Saturday when Washington hosts Nashville.

Michal Neuvirth won't start on Friday due to a brand new lower-body injury. Neuvirth was originally projected to get the nod. Neuvirth also suffered a lower-body injury earlier this week, but apparently the two aren't related.

Michal Neuvirth (lower body) is penciled in to start Friday. Neuvirth was day-to-day after leaving Monday's practice. He has a 2.83 GAA and .912 save percentage in seven games this season.

Michal Neuvirth left practice today with a lower body injury. The netminder is day-to-day for now as the Capitals will need to call up a goalie to back up Braden Holtby. Neuvirth is 2-3-1 this season with a 2.83 GAA and a .912 save percentage.

Michal Neuvirth played well making 28 saves on 31 shots Friday night, but it was not enough to lift the Capitals to victory as they lost 3-2 to Montreal. Neuvirth falls to 2-3-1 on the season, and has won just once since Oct. 3.
