Thevictory in front of 16,345 — the second largest home crowdofthe season — inched Carolina onepoint in frontof Buffalo, whichfell to 1-4-1 in its last six games. “This goes a long way,” Maurice said of the win. “We feel like we're back in the [playoff] fight again.” A pair of Gary Roberts goals mid- way through thethird period sealed it for Carolina. It was Roberts’ first mul- game since netting two against Toronto more than a year ago. “This is one of these games where everybody goes home feeling good about contributing and now wejust have to continue this way,” said Roberts. Michael Peca’s goal with 1:18 left broke up Arturs Irbe’s shutout. Hurricanes 4, Sabres 1 tao the collapsed lung, suffered the previous nightin the Blues’ 3-0 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks.

MPRIMEAU WAITS: Keith Primeau sat and waited Saturday night, just like every other night for the pastfour months. A proposed trade that could have sent the disgruntled formercaptain of the Carolina Hurricanes to the Philadelphia Flyers for Rod Brind’Amour apparently is off. Primeau, a restricted free agent who has missed the team’s first 48 games because of a contract dispute, once again blamed Carolina owner Peter Karmanos for nixing the deal. However, there was no such evidence to back up Primeau’s accusations. ISLANDERS GET WIN:Kevin Weekes made 28 saves as the New York Islanders snapped a six-game losing streak with a 20 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning. The shutout was Weekes’ second this season — andsecondofhis career - as the Islanders won for just the second timein their last 14 games.
