Hurricanes' Staal, Dwyer out Tuesday vs. Sabres
Carolina Hurricanes captain Eric Staal and forward Patrick Dwyer won't play Tuesday against the Buffalo Sabres, coach Bill Peters said

Carolina Hurricanes captain Eric Staal and forward Patrick Dwyer will not play Tuesday against the Buffalo Sabres (7:30 p.m. ET, NBCSN), coach Bill Peters told the Hurricanes website Monday.

Staal (upper body) and Dwyer (lower body) are day-to-day. Staal has one goal and one assist in two games; in 10 prior seasons he's missed 17 games. Dwyer has one shot on goal in two games.

"It's a long, long year and we're getting hit with some injuries right now," Peters said according to the Raleigh News and Observer. "But you play through it. … The guys were good [Monday] and worked hard and the spirits are fine."

Peters also said center Jeff Skinner, who sustained a concussion during a preseason game Oct. 5 against the Washington Capitals, skated by himself Monday and is close to rejoining the team. He has not played this season after he had a career-best 33 goals last season. He also will not play Tuesday but Peters said Thursday against the New York Rangers.
