Bussi made 25 saves in a 5-1 loss to Columbus on Tuesday.
This game wasn't on Bussi per se, but he wasn't part of the solution either. Coach Rod Brind'Amour was blunt with reporters after the game: "If you're going to lose, that's probably the way you want to do it. You don't want to lose but play well. This was not a game we played well. Throw it away and come back tomorrow (against the Pittsburgh Penguins)." Bussi is on a personal three-game losing streak, and he's 2-3-0 in his last five starts. He has allowed at least four goals in four of those five games (.835).

Bussi's been poor since the Olympic break, allowing 13 goals on 75 shots over his last three outings.

Hurricanes' Brandon Bussi: Escapes with win
Rotowire
Bussi stopped 18 of 22 shots in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Canucks.
Bussi earned his ninth win in a row, but it was another shaky effort. He's given up eight goals on 50 shots over his two starts since the Olympic break. The 27-year-old is up to 25-3-1 on the year with a 2.29 GAA and a .903 save percentage. Bussi is a good target for fantasy managers needing wins, but he won't carry a high save percentage because the Hurricanes tend not to allow many shots. Bussi and Frederik Andersen should each get a start in the next two games, as the Hurricanes visit the Oilers on Friday and the Flames on Saturday.

Hurricanes' Brandon Bussi: Banks another win Tuesday
Rotowire
Bussi stopped 22 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Senators.
The 27-year-old netminder continues to amaze, extending his win streak to six games. Through his first 26 NHL outings, Bussi has gone a stunning 22-3-1 with a 2.24 GAA and a .904 save percentage. While he doesn't qualify as a rookie and likely won't see enough work to challenge Terry Sawchuk's NHL record of 44 wins by a rookie, Bussi could challenge Corey Crawford's 33-win rookie year in the 2010-11 regular season.
Bussi will start Tuesday's home clash with the Senators, per Ryan Henkel of The Hockey News.

Hurricanes' Brandon Bussi: Light workload in overtime win
Rotowire
Bussi stopped 11 of 13 shots in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Kings.
Bussi didn't have his best performance, but he was able to earn his fifth straight win. He's faced fewer than 20 shots in three of those victories, as the Hurricanes have their preferred defense rolling in strong form. Bussi improved to 21-3-1 with a 2.21 GAA and a .905 save percentage through 25 starts this season. The 27-year-old has mostly shared the crease with Frederik Andersen lately, so it wouldn't be surprising if the two goalies split the last two games before the Olympic break.
