Hello, Neuvy! Caps Face Former Teammate
Michal Neuvirth warms up. (Caps Outsider)
Former Capitals goalie Michal Neuvirth spelled Jaroslav Halak in the third period Thursday after Halak surrendered his fifth goal of the game.
It was a homecoming of sorts for Neuvirth, who played for Washington for five seasons before being traded to Buffalo – ironically as the Caps themselves acquired Halak – before both players ended up on Long Island.
Caps fans both cheered and booed a little when Neuvirth was introduced, and his former teammates peppered him with shots.
