Brandon Bussi News

If not for an injury to Pyotr Kochetkov to start the 2025-26 season, Bussi would likely not be in the mix for the Hurricanes, but excellent play has earned him his third start in the last four games. The 27-year-old Bussi, a first-year NHLer, has a 2.09 GAA and .909 SV% in 10 games this season (9-1-0). He has a 1.35 GAA and .933 SV% in his last four games (4-0-0). The Hurricanes enter Thursday's contest as -113 road favorites against a Washington Capitals team that is 10-1-2 in its last 13 games.

The Hurricanes have not been in top form lately, 3-4-0 in their last seven, something that can't be said when Bussi has been between the pipes. The 27-year-old first-year NHLer has been excellent when called upon for the Hurricanes, winning six straight, and posting a 2.21 GAA and .903 SV% through nine games this season (8-1-0). The Hurricanes enter Tuesday's contest as -195 home favorites against a Columbus Blue Jackets team that has fumbled its way to a 2-1-4 record in its last seven games.

With Pyotr Kochetkov (lower body) still sidelined, Rod Brind’Amour and the Hurricanes coaching staff are rewarding Brandon Bussi with consecutive starts. The 27-year-old Bussi had a light night in Friday’s 5-1 win over the Winnipeg Jets, but was near perfect, saving 12 of 13 shots (.923 SV%). The 27-year-old first-year NHLer looks to improve his 2.43 GAA and .899 SV% through seven games (6-1-0) when he tends the twine on Sunday against the Calgary Flames.

With Pyotr Kochetkov (lower body) sidelined, the Hurricanes are relying on the services of Frederik Andersen and Brandon Bussi, who will tend the twine on Friday against the Winnipeg Jets. The 27-year-old Bussi has been serviceable since making his NHL debut earlier this season, posting a 2.67 GAA and .897 SV% in six games (5-1-0). If Kochetkov's injury lingers, Bussi has an opportunity to see an increased workload if he can outduel his counterpart, Frederik Andersen.

The Hurricanes remain committed to their three-goalie rotation, and will turn to Bussi on Friday against the Winnipeg Jets. Bussi struggled in his most recent outing, allowing four goals on 20 shots (.800 SV%), but salvaged a 5-4 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs. The 27-year-old first-year NHLer has a 2.60 GAA and .898 SV% in five games (4-1-0). The Hurricanes enter Friday's contest as -143 road favorites against a Jets team on a two-game winning streak.
