Neuvirth sat out the last portion of the Caps season with a hip flexor injury, according to word out of Caps' camp.
Recommendation: Neuvirth backed up Tomas Vokoun, but ended up missing time himself as the Caps' season came to an end. Lower-body injury was the word on Neuvirth throughout the postseason, but a hip flexor was named the culprit after the season ended. Early talk is Vokoun won't return to the Caps, giving Neuvirth and Holtby added value in 2012-2013.
