Bruins' Brandon Bussi: Strong game in loss
Rotowire
Bussi made 30 saves on 32 shots in a 2-0 preseason loss to Washington on Saturday.
Bussi played in 41 regular-season games in the AHL with Providence, posting a 23-10-5 record, a .913 save percentage and a 2.67 GAA. The previous season, he delivered a 22-5-4 record, a .924 save percentage and a 2.40 GAA, again with Providence. But Bussi's role as a backup in Boston isn't guaranteed. The Bruins claimed Jiri Patera off waivers on Wednesday, and he arrives with NHL experience under his belt. Just eight games, but that's eight more than Bussi. Bussi played extremely well Saturday, keeping the Capitals to one goal until the three-quarter pole of the third period. Keep an eye on the final roster before adding him in fantasy leagues.

Bruins' Brandon Bussi: Expected to start Saturday
Rotowire
Bussi is set to guard the road goal against Washington in Saturday's preseason contest.
Bussi had a 2.67 GAA and a .913 save percentage across 41 regular-season appearances with AHL Providence in 2023-24. Although he was originally projected to start the 2024-25 campaign in the minors, Jeremy Swayman remains unsigned as a restricted free agent, opening a spot for Bussi to serve as Boston's No. 2 netminder behind Joonas Korpisalo. Bussi's stay in the NHL will depend on how long Swayman remains without a contract with the Bruins.

Bruins' Brandon Bussi: Not busy in Tuesday's preseason win
Rotowire
Bussi turned aside 13 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 preseason win over the Flyers.
A second-period wrister from Travis Konecny was the only puck to beat Bussi on the night. The 26-year-old netminder is getting a long look in camp due to Jeremy Swayman's contract dispute, and while Bussi has yet to make his NHL debut, he's making a solid case to open the season as the Bruins' No. 2 goalie behind Joonas Korpisalo if Swayman remains unsigned when the games begin to count next week.

Bruins' Brandon Bussi: In goal Tuesday
Rotowire
Bussi will protect the home goal versus the Flyers in Tuesday's preseason game, Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic reports.
This will be Bussi's third start of the preseason. He's allowed six goals on 44 shots over his previous two outings. Bussi will be in contention for an NHL job, competing with Michael DiPietro, as long as Jeremy Swayman remains an unsigned restricted free agent.
Bussi is slated to start on the road against the Rangers in Thursday's preseason contest.
Bussi will attempt to get some revenge against New York after he surrendered two goals on 12 shots in 30:14 of ice time during Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Rangers. Bussi was initially projected to start the 2024-25 campaign in the minors, but if Jeremy Swayman, who is a restricted free agent, doesn't sign before Opening Night, then Bussi might begin the season as Boston's No. 2 netminder behind Joonas Korpisalo.
