A few weeks into the season, the Carolina Hurricanes might be getting closer to the level at which they were expected to play.

They'll search for more signs of that when the Buffalo Sabres, who also have reasons to be encouraged, visit for Tuesday night's game in Raleigh, N.C.

The Hurricanes completed a three-game road stretch by collecting four of a possible six points.
