Michal Neuvirth (head) should be fine to at least serve as the team's backup goaltender on Tuesday. Neuvirth took a shot up high during Saturday's morning skate and initially wasn't feeling well. However, Washington has already sent goaltender Philipp Grubauer to the minors, which is probably a good indication of how Neuvirth felt on Monday.

Michal Neuvirth is currently dealing with a head injury and is not feeling well. Neuvirth took a shot up high during Saturday's morning skate and isn't feeling well. "We're going to take precautions," Oates said Sunday morning. "He doesn't feel great. The medical guys will handle what we're supposed to do." However, Oates said Neuvirth would accompany the team to Raleigh early this week.

Capitals goaltender Michal Neuvirth blocked 36 of 38 shots for Washington in a 3-2 win over the Hurricanes. Neuvirth took full advantage of his first start in over a month by stealing this game for the Caps. Despite the impressive outing, Braden Holtby appears to have established himself as the team's clear number one man.

Michal Neuvirth will start in Thursday's game against the Carolina Hurricanes. It will be Neuvirth's first start in over a month, although he did make a relief appearance on Sunday. Neuvirth has a 2.98 GAA and .890 save percentage in eight games this season.

Michal Neuvirth returned to action on Sunday March 10.

Michal Neuvirth (illness) has been ruled out for Saturday's game. Neuvirth will not travel with the Capitals for their game against the New York Islanders. However, it's only a one-game road trip anyways.

Michal Neuvirth is battling an illness. Neuvirth wasn't expected to start on Thursday anyways, but now he probably won't be the backup either. Washington has called up goaltender Philipp Grubauer.

Michal Neuvirth won't dress Wednesday night because of an illness. He hasn't played since being pulled back on Feb. 7 against Pittsburgh. Braden Holtby is returning to his 2012 playoff form and is establishing himself as the team's number one goalie.

Shoddy goaltending is hurting the Capitals. Michal Neuvirth gave up two goals on 11 shots Thursday before being pulled. Braden Holtby came in and gave up three more on 17 shots. Neuvirth has a 3.05 goals-against average and .889 save percentage while Holtby's sits at 4.74 and .857.

Michal Neuvirth is expected to start for Washington Thursday night versus Pittsburgh. It will mark his second consecutive appearance after Braden Holtby played in the team's previous two contests. The Capitals haven't received very good goaltending from either of their keepers this season.
