Neuvirth took a stinger during today's practice but managed to stay on the ice. He won't miss any playing time, especially with Tomas Vokoun and Braden Holtby as options.

Tomas Vokoun has established himself as the clear-cut starter, but given Hunter's criticism of the 35-year-old after the 5-2 loss in Ottawa on Wednesday night and Neuvirth's performance Friday, Saturday night's game at the Toronto Maple Leafs figures to feature the kid again.

In six career appearances against the Leafs, Neuvirth has a 2-1-1 record with a 3.94 GAA and .847 SV%.
