Neuvirth surrendered only one goal in regulation as the Sabres fell to the Habs 2-1 in a shootout Wednesday. Neuvirth got the nod again after defeating the Red Wings on Sunday after stopping 36 or 38 shots, but could not win his second straight game. In his past two starts, Neuvirth has allowed just three goals in regulation on 70 shots, good enough for a .957 save percentage. Goal support has been virtually non-existent for the Sabres this year, but Neuvirth is doing his best to keep his team in games. Despite Jhonas Enroth winning the starting job after training camp, Neuvirth has appeared to be the stronger goalie thus far this season. Head coach Ted Nolan will continue to split the starts until a clear No. 1 emerges.
