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.
Bussi signed a three-year, $5.7 million contract extension with the Hurricanes on Monday.
Bussi has had a strong start to his NHL career during the 2025-26 campaign after being claimed off waivers from the Panthers, going 23-3-1 with a 2.16 GAA and .906 save percentage over 27 appearances to begin the year. His extension will keep him under contract with Carolina through the 2028-29 season.

Rotowire
Bussi turned aside 16 shots in Thursday's 2-0 win over the Rangers.

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.
Bussi will draw his second consecutive start Tuesday after leading the team onto the ice for warmups. He has won each of his last five starts and has been exceptional in that span with a .917 save percentage and a 1.80 GAA. Overall, the 27-year-old netminder has a 21-3-1 record, a 2.21 GAA and a .905 save percentage across 25 appearances this season. He'll look to continue his strong 2025-26 campaign in a matchup against a strong Ottawa offense that ranks ninth in the NHL with 3.33 goals per game.

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.

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. The Hurricanes host the Senators on Tuesday before visiting the Rangers on Thursday.
