Backup goaltender Michal Neuvirth allowed six goals on 33 shots on Friday, but Vokoun would have probably started even if Neuvirth had a good game. However, given that Neuvirth has a terrible 3.81 GAA and .868 save percentage this season, the Capitals should start leaning on Vokoun more than they have recently.
