Sabres goaltender Michal Neuvirth was remarkable Thursday night, stopping 51 shots in a 4-2 loss to the Hurricanes in Carolina. Neuvirth kept the Sabres even in the second, when Carolina raced to a 22-4 advantage in shots. Acquired prior to the NHL trade deadline from the Washington Capitals, Neuvirth had to make a half-dozen big saves. On the penalty kill, he stopped a bid from Andrei Loktionov with his left pad, then gloved a wrist shot from Drayson Bowman on the rebound. Neuvirth later snatched a close-range wrister from Joel Skinner. But the Sabres ended up with their fourth consecutive loss. Neuvirth's GAA is now 2.78 and his save percentage, .921.
