BUFFALO – The Sabres sent goalie Nathan Lieuwen back to Rochester today.
That could mean goalie Michal Neuvirth, out since suffering a lower-body injury Tuesday, is healthy.
With Lieuwen backing up, Sabres goalie Jhonas Enroth made 43 saves in Saturday’s 2-1 win in Washington.
Lieuwen has struggled badly with the AHL Americans this season, going 3-4 with a 3.53 goals against average and .876 save percentage.
