Hurricanes' Brandon Bussi: Posts first career shutout
Rotowire
Bussi logged a 15-save shutout in Sunday's 1-0 overtime win over the Flames.
Bussi has hardly been tested over his last two games, though he was playing with no margin for error in Sunday's contest. The 27-year-old has won five straight outings and is 7-1-0 on the year while staking a claim to a larger role in the Hurricanes' crease. He's added a 2.11 GAA and a .907 save percentage through eight starts. The Hurricanes are off until they host the Maple Leafs on Thursday, which is the beginning of a stretch of three games in four days. Bussi should start at least once in that span, and maybe twice if Pyotr Kochetkov (lower body) remains out.

Hurricanes' Brandon Bussi: Facing Flames
Rotowire
Bussi will protect the home net against Calgary on Sunday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

Hurricanes' Brandon Bussi: Little work in win
Rotowire
Bussi stopped 12 of 13 shots in Friday's 5-1 win over the Jets.
The score was close for a large part of the game, but the Jets had trouble generating much pressure, making this a fairly easy assignment for Bussi. The Hurricanes then rallied with four goals in the third period to run away with the win. Bussi has gone 6-1-0 over his first seven NHL appearances, with his last two outings being wins over the Jets. He's added a 2.43 GAA and an .899 save percentage. Bussi and Frederik Andersen will share Carolina's crease until Pyotr Kochetkov (lower body) is healthy again.

Hurricanes' Brandon Bussi: Set to start Friday
Rotowire
Bussi is expected to start at home against Winnipeg on Friday, per Cory Lavalette of The North State Journal.
Bussi stopped 25 of 28 shots in a 4-3 win over the Jets in his previous start last Friday. He's 5-1-0 with a 2.67 GAA and an .897 save percentage in six appearances this season. Bussi has been used sparingly behind Frederik Andersen and Pyotr Kochetkov. However, Kochetkov is dealing with a lower-body injury and might miss his second straight game Friday as a result, so Bussi should see an increased workload for the duration of Kochetkov's time on the shelf.

Hurricanes' Brandon Bussi: Holds on for win over Jets
Rotowire
Bussi stopped 24 of 27 shots in Friday's 4-3 win over the Jets.
Bussi has won his last three starts, though that streak has been over more than three weeks on the calendar. The 27-year-old goalie is still getting some turns in the crease even with Pyotr Kochetkov and Frederik Andersen in the fold. Bussi improved to 5-1-0 with a 2.67 GAA and an .896 save percentage over six appearances. Since the Hurricanes continue to roster three goalies, it's tough to predict when Bussi will get his chances between the pipes.

Hurricanes' Brandon Bussi: Starting in Winnipeg
Rotowire
Bussi will serve as the starting netminder for Friday's road game against Winnipeg, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
Bussi has seen limited playing time to begin the regular season, including just one start over the Hurricanes' last 10 games. However, he's been effective when called upon, going 4-1-0 with a 2.60 GAA and .898 save percentage. The Jets will present a tough challenge Friday, as they rank sixth in the NHL with 3.32 goals per game.

Hurricanes' Brandon Bussi: Earns win despite allowing four
Rotowire
Bussi stopped 16 of 20 shots in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Maple Leafs.
Bussi was making his first start since Oct. 30, when he stopped 26 of 28 shots in a 6-2 win over the Islanders. While he earned the win in this matchup, allowing four goals on 20 shots isn't what most fantasy managers would want from a netminder. Bussi has done a good job piling up wins, though. He's won four of his five starts this season, going 4-1-0 with a 2.60 GAA and an .898 save percentage. He's unlikely to play much in a crowded crease, as the Hurricanes also have Pyotr Kochetkov as a backup option behind Frederik Andersen.

Hurricanes' Brandon Bussi: Third win in four starts
Rotowire
Bussi made 26 saves in a 6-2 win over the Islanders on Thursday. He also picked up a goalie assist.
The game was tighter than the score shows -- the Canes went into the third with a 3-1 lead before the offense took things up a notch. Bussi is 3-1-0 in four starts with a 2.25 GAA and .916 save percentage. The 27-year-old goalie made his NHL debut this season at age 27 years after four pro seasons, mostly in the AHL. So far, Bussi is having a stellar start to his NHL career.

Hurricanes' Brandon Bussi: Set to face Dallas
Rotowire
Bussi is expected to guard the road crease against Dallas on Saturday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
Bussi has a 2-0-0 record, 1.97 GAA and .911 save percentage in two appearances in 2025-26. That success has earned him another start after Frederik Andersen allowed at least three goals in four of his five outings this year. Dallas is a strong adversary, but the Stars are off to a mediocre start, posting a 3-3-1 record while averaging 3.00 goals per game.

Panthers' Brandon Bussi: Inks deal with new organization

Bussi spent the 2024-25 campaign with AHL Providence, going 15-14-3 with a .907 save percentage and a 2.77 GAA across 33 regular-season games.

Considering Florida signed Daniil Tarasov on Tuesday, Bussi will more than likely be limited to playing time with AHL Charlotte this coming season, but he's an injury away from a promotion to the big club.
