Neuvirth (illness) has been confirmed as Tuesday's starter in goal against the Red Wings, Mike Harrington of the Buffalo News reports.
An illness prevented Neuvirth from picking up one of the starts for the Sabres over back-to-back set this past weekend, but after he was back at full health Tuesday morning, coach Ted Nolan will turn the net over to the backup netminder. Neuvirth briefly enjoyed a run as the team's preferred option in goal as recently as mid-November, but Jhonas Enroth has since seemed to have captured that mantle from him. The 26-year-old owns just a 3-7-1 record and 3.06 GAA over 12 appearances on the season.
