The fact Buffalo is under 7' of snow probably has something to do with it.
It was actually because Neuvirth injured himself in the 1st period and the Sabres needed a back-up goalie for the rest of the game just in case something happened to Enroth. So they threw some pads on Irbe who is their goaltending coach. It's a common practice really in situations like that. Same thing happened a few weeks ago with the Ducks so they had 45-year old Dwayne Roloson, their goalie consultant, suit up.
It was Patrick Kaleta who actually couldn't make it to the game because he was snowed in.
I suspect the original question was with regards to the sparse attendance in the background.
