Justin Peters sparkled in his first start of the campaign, making 37 saves en route to the Carolina victory.
He was subbing for the ill Dan Ellis, who was promoted to the Hurricanes' No. 1 netminder this week after Cam Ward was sidelined with a sprained knee.
Cody Hodgson scored twice and Ryan Miller stopped 24-of-28 shots for the Sabres.
