CSNphilly.com reported that Neuvirth had a meniscus tear in his left knee and could play in the playoffs but is out for the regular season.
"We don't comment on injuries," general manager Ron Hextall said. "It is a lower body injury and he is out three weeks."
Neuvirth update
While talking about Emery on Tuesday, Hextall updated the status of Neuvirth, who hasn't played since March 16's 3-2 win in Chicago.
"He's on schedule and he's doing well," Hextall said. "We're hoping that he skates at some point in the next five or six days and then just progress him from there.
"I think the end of this season is probably a stretch at this point."
So it's the Mason and (maybe) Stolarz show as the games get more and more important down the stretch.
