Brandon Bussi News



Bussi struggled in his previous game, allowing four goals on 25 shots (.840 SV%), but salvaged a 5-4 victory over the Utah Mammoth and set NHL history, becoming the fastest goalie to reach 20 wins in an NHL career (20-3-1). The 27-year-old Bussi has been a wonderful surprise for the Hurricanes this season, winning seven of his last eight outings (7-1-0) and posting terrific numbers of 2.01 GAA and .916 SV%. The Hurricanes enter the action on Sunday as -173 home favourites against the Los Angeles Kings, who have won four of their last five games (4-1-0).

Bussi has been exquisite in recent games, riding a three-game winning streak while posting a sensational 1.02 GAA and .957 SV%. The 27-year-old first-year NHLer has been a revelation in Carolina's crease this season and has won eight of his last 10 games (8-2-0). The Hurricanes enter the action on Tuesday as -162 home favourites against a Montreal Canadiens team that defeated them 7-5 earlier this month.

Bussi has remained the more reliable option between the pipes for the Hurricanes, and will likely return there on Saturday against the Ottawa Senators. The 27-year-old Bussi continues to impress in his first NHL season and is coming off a terrific effort in Monday's 2-1 win over the Buffalo Sabres, saving 17 of 18 shots (.944 SV%). He has a 1.01 GAA and .941 SV% in his last two games (2-0-0).

Since the injury of Pyotr Kochetkov (lower body), likely ruling him out for the season, the Hurricanes have alternated between Frederik Andersen and Brandon Bussi. The 27-year-old Bussi, in his first NHL season, remains a surprising bright spot for a team with intentions of finishing in first place in the Eastern Conference. Bussi saved 15 of 16 shots (.938 SV%) in a blowout 9-1 win over the Florida Panthers on Friday, improving to 4-1-0 with a 2.04 GAA and .910 SV% in his last five games. The Hurricanes enter Monday's action as -182 home favorites against a rolling Buffalo Sabres team coming off a 5-4 overtime defeat to the Minnesota Wild for just their third loss in their last 16 games (13-2-1).

Bussi was serviceable in his previous outing, saving 28 of 31 shots (.903 SV%), but received no goal support as the Hurricanes were defeated 3-0 by the St. Louis Blues. The 27-year-old Bussi, in his first NHL season, remains the most reliable option between the pipes for the Hurricanes, with a 2.31 GAA and .902 SV% in 20 games (16-3-1). The Hurricanes enter Friday's contest as -172 home favorites against a Panthers team on a two-game winning streak.

Bussi, the 27-year-old rookie, a career AHLer before this season, continues to be relied upon heavily for the Hurricanes and has earned the responsibility between the pipes with solid play. He has only lost three games this season (16-2-1) while posting a solid 2.28 GAA and .902 SV%. The Hurricanes enter the action on Tuesday as -172 road favorites against a St. Louis Blues team that has been outscored 15-7 in their last three games (0-3-0).

Bussi had his worst performance of the season in a 7-5 loss to the Montreal Canadiens on January 1st, allowing six goals on 22 shots (.727 SV%), but quickly rebounded in his following game, saving 28 of 29 (.966 SV%) in a 3-1 win over the New Jersey Devils. The 27-year-old goalie's introduction to the NHL has been remarkable, posting a near-perfect 14-2-1 record, with a 2.25 GAA and .906 SV%. The Hurricanes enter the action on Tuesday as -135 home favorites against a struggling Dallas Stars team that, despite still ranking second in the NHL, is on a season-worst five-game losing skid (0-2-3).

With Pyotr Kochetkov (lower body) expected to miss the entire season, and Frederik Andersen's ongoing struggles, Carolina's crease seems destined to belong to Bussi for the foreseeable future. The 27-year-old Bussi, in his first NHL season, has been near perfect, winning 13 of 15 games (13-11-) while posting a stellar 2.08 GAA and .912 SV%. The Hurricanes enter Thursday's contest as -17 home favorites against a Montreal Canadiens team with points in six straight games (4-0-2).

With the surprising news that Pyotr Kochetkov (lower body) will undergo surgery that will keep him out long-term, Bussi should see a significant increase in playing time, beginning with Monday's contest against the New York Rangers. The 27-year-old Bussi has been outstanding in his first NHL season, posting a 2.10 GAA and .912 SV% in 14 games (12-1-1). The Hurricanes enter the action on Monday as -171 home favorites against the Rangers.

Bussi gave up three goals on 41 shots in the Hurricanes' shootout loss in Florida on December 19th. The loss snapped a nine-game winning streak for Bussi, who has been outstanding this season, going 11-1-1 with a 2.11 GAA, .913 SV% and one shutout in 13 games. He is top-10 in the NHL with a 69.2% Quality Start%.
