Neuvirth will be between the pipes for Saturday's game against the Panthers. Neuvirth enters the crease Saturday looking to build on his first winning streak of the season, as he's captured back-to-back victories over the Blue Jackets and Canucks. Wins haven't come easy for an Sabres goalie the past two seasons, but Neuvirth has at least done a commendable job of keeping the team competitive since assuming the No. 1 gig in the wake of Jhonas Enroth's trade to the Stars. He's posted a .942 save percentage over eight starts in February, and looks like he might be a reasonable fantasy option against a Panthers squad that ranks 25th in goals per game.

Neuvirth stopped 28 of 31 shots Thursday against Vancouver, winning consecutive games for the first time in the 2014-15 season. Yep, you read that right. Nearly five months (and 26 starts) into the season, Neuvirth's finally got his first two-game winning streak. He's actually been one of fantasy's better netminders in the month of February, but there's always the risk of sudden and painful collapses when you're in net for this Sabres team.

Neuvirth is slated to start Thursday's game against Vancouver, the Buffalo News reports. Neuvirth, who has been stopping plenty of pucks of late for the Sabres, will have his work cut out for him Thursday while going up against a Vancouver squad that has won two straight games and four of five contests overall.

Neuvirth was fined $2,000 for embellishing a hit against Nashville, reports the CBC. Well, this is a first. Neuvirth becomes the first goalie to be fined under the NHL's new embellishment rules. The league ruled that Neuvirth embellished a bump from Nashville's Mike Santorelli, which resulted in an interference penalty and a power play opportunity for the Sabres. Neuvirth was fined because this was his second instance of diving, the first coming against the Leafs on Nov. 15, for which Neuvirth was given a warning. Neuvirth has been excellent for the Sabres of late and this fine shouldn't change anything on the ice.

Neuvirth stopped 45 of 47 Tuesday, leading the way to a 4-2 win over the Blue Jackets. His team got outshot by 16, but Neuvirth outplayed opposing minder Anton Forsberg to deliver the win. He's now delivered save marks of .930 or better in six consecutive starts, which is enough for a "hot" label even though he's won just twice in that span.

Neuvirth will start Tuesday's game against the Blue Jackets. Neuvirth (4-16-3) has allowed nine goals over his last five games, but wins have been tough to come by while playing behind the Sabres. He'll face a Blue Jackets squad Tuesday that has dropped consecutive decisions (to the Canadiens and Rangers).

Neuvirth turned aside 37 of 38 shots, but allowed two goals in the shootout in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Predators. Neuvirth has actually been playing well lately, but was dealt another tough luck loss -- his 13th in his last 14 starts -- as the offense in front of him once again failed to muster many offensive opportunities. His .917 save percentage isn't bad, but the 2.99 GAA and 4-16-3 record that go along with the lack of help in front of him significant diminishes the 26-year-old's fantasy value.

Neuvirth will start in goal for the Sabres Sunday against Nashville.This will be Neuvirth's fifth straight start, but playing the sixth highest scoring team in the NHL could spell trouble given how hapless the Sabres are throughout. Any chance at a win for Neuvirth is going to be a longshot.

Neuvirth stopped 40 of 43 shots in Friday's loss to the Rangers.A great outing from Neuvirth, who failed to get much offensive support from the Sabres in the loss. It was the 26-year-old's 12th loss in 13 games, dropping his record to 4-16-2 on the season. His .914 save percentage is good, but the Sabres are just so bad that Neuvirth won't pick up many victories. He's the go-to-guy in Buffalo now though, so if you need games played, Neuvirth should be in the crease almost every night Buffalo plays.

Neuvirth will start in goal Friday against the Rangers.Despite Friday being the second game of a back-to-back set for the Sabres, coach Mike Nolan has decided to turn to Neuvirth in both contests. He withstood a barrage of shots Thursday, stopping 36 of the 38 shots he faced. He is now on a stretch of four straight contests of a .900 save percentage or better, and three straight with .933 or better, but is just 1-2-1 in the last four contests.
