RALEIGH, N.C. - The Buffalo Sabres finished with the NHLs worst record last season by a large margin. At least this time, they wont be the last team to get a win.Marcus Foligno had two goals, Zemgus Girgensons scored on a backhand to end a long shootout, and the Sabres beat the Carolina Hurricanes 4-3 Tuesday night for their first victory.Girgensons was Buffalos eighth shooter in the tiebreaker, after the Sabres blew a two-goal lead in the third period.We could have gone home 10 minutes quicker, but it was great to get the win, Girgensons said.The two squads, which met in the 2006 Eastern Conference finals before the Hurricanes won their only Stanley Cup, came into the game as the only NHL teams without a point.Buffalo led 3-1 early in the third period, but Chris Terry scored for Carolina (0-2-1) and then assisted on Zach Boychuks goal that tied it at 18:12.Foligno had his first two goals of the season, and Torrey Mitchell also scored for the Sabres (1-3).Cody Hodgson, moved from left wing to centre after recording only one shot on net in the first three games, had Buffalos other goal in the shootout.When youre going through what were going through, you have to take baby steps, second-year coach Ted Nolan said. Ive never questioned the character of this team one time. We werent playing very well for whatever reason, but we have to find a solution to our problems and tonight we had some big performances. Overall, sometimes youll take an ugly win over a beautiful loss.Riley Nash and Terry each had a goal and an assist for Carolina. Terry was the only Hurricanes player to score in the shootout.The effort was good, first-year Carolina coach Bill Peters said. Youre not going to get many points in this league down two with 10 (minutes) to go. I liked our third period. I thought we could have been better in certain areas, but we went 2 for 2 on penalty killing, so thats a positive.Jhonas Enroth made 22 saves for Buffalo, and Carolinas Cam Ward had 23.The Hurricanes played without captain Eric Staal (upper body) and wing Patrick Dwyer (lower body), both injured Saturday against the New York Islanders.

But the Sabres answered at 1:53 when Mitchell scored from the left circle.Foligno made it 3-1 at 2:54 of the third, beating Ward stick side from the slot.Everybodys got confidence now, Foligno said. This win is really going to help out and we can focus on the next game. We had a lot of support around the puck, especially in the first two periods. And when we were at the line we had a lot of good, smart dumps.Terry scored for Carolina off a faceoff at 12:11.Buffalo had just two shots in the third period.NOTES: Buffalo had lost four straight at PNC Arena. ...

They rank 28th in the NFL, averaging only 87 yards a game, and are 23rd averaging 3.9 yards per carry. Nobody has run for 100 yards in a single game with the season finale coming up Sunday against the Colts.Perhaps worst of all, the Titans three longest runs this season have come from a pair of quarterbacks and a wide receiver.Would we have like to have had some longer runs by a running back? Sure, you would, but we havent, coach Ken Whisenhunt said Tuesday.The Titans (2-13) certainly have not had the year they wanted offensively after cutting veteran Chris Johnson in April. Theyre using a handful of running backs to replace the man who ran for at least 1,000 yards in each of his six seasons in Tennessee.Before he arrived, LenDale White ran for 1,110 yards in 2007, while Travis Henry ran for 1,211 yards in 2006.Having a 1,000-yard rusher doesnt guarantee a team can run the ball well. Whisenhunt said he was on teams that went to the Super Bowl without a 1,000-yard rusher.Some of its an injury thing, Whisenhunt said. Some of its just where your team is. We do want to run the ball better, no question about that.The biggest measure of how well a team can run comes when the defence knows its coming. The Titans have failed there as well, with the best example a fourth-and-1 against Cleveland on Oct. 5 when the Browns stuffed Charlie Whitehurst.They have topped 100 yards rushing in only three games thiss season.dddddddddddd.Rookie Bishop Sankey has the fourth-longest run for the Titans at 22 yards, but the second-round draft pick out of Washington has rushed for only 551 yards on 148 carries with two touchdowns.Its one of those things weve worked on all year. Weve wanted more explosive runs all year from our running backs, Sankey said. Unfortunately, those havent come.Shonn Greene had the best game by a Titans running back this season with a season-high 71 yards in their opening win at Kansas City. Sankey has run for as much as 61 in two games. Leon Washington is averaging a team-high 5 yards per carry but has had only 11 rushes all season.The Titans will have to decide about bringing Greene back for the third year of his contract and whether Sankey can be their main running back in 2015. Rookie Antonio Andrews also may get a chance at more work against the Colts as the Titans gauge their run game.Whisenhunt said success running depends on how the games go. Scoring a lot of points early can allow a team to run the ball and wear out a defence. The Titans simply havent been as consistent running.A lot of times your scheme, how you attack opponents, are important, Whisenhunt said. A lot of times backs, you see guys make guys miss all the time and get extra yards. I think it all ties in together.NOTES: The Titans practiced Tuesday with only LT Taylor Lewan (left ankle) not working. Rookie QB Zach Mettenberger was at practice, but Whisenhunt said Whitehurst will start Sunday.___Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL___Follow Teresa M.
