Bussi will start in Vancouver on Wednesday.

Frederik Andersen was awarded rare consecutive starts for the Hurricanes, but the team will return to Bussi on Wednesday against the Vancouver Canucks. The 27-year-old rookie goalie had a shaky performance in his most recent outing, but continued his winning ways despite allowing four goals on 28 shots (.857 SV%) in a 5-4 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning. Bussi has a 2.00 GAA and .911 SV% during an eight-game winning streak. The Hurricanes enter Wednesday's contest as enormous -302 road favourites against a Canucks team that has scored two or fewer goals in nine straight games (1-6-2).

Bussi will start against the Lightning on Thursday.

Bussi established himself as one of the feel-good stories of the NHL this season, and will hope to continue his success when Carolina returns from the Olympic break on Thursday against the Tampa Bay Lightning. The 27-year-old rookie recorded a 16-save shutout, his second of the season, in Carolina's final game before the break, a 2-0 win over the New York Rangers. He has won seven straight games while posting a 1.70 GAA and .921 SV%. The Hurricanes enter Thursday's contest as -141 home favourites against a Lightning team that defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs 4-2 last night.

Carolina has signed Brandon Bussi to a three-year, $1.9 million extension ($5.7 million total).

Bussi has been one of the NHL's best stories in 2025-26 after being claimed off waivers by Carolina from Boston in the offseason and has earned himself a three-year, $1.9 million contract extension ($5.7 million total). The 27-year-old holds a ridiculous 23-3-1 record this season to go alongside his 2.16 GAA and .908 SV%. He is expected to be apart of Carolina's future in tandem with Pyotr Kochetkov.

Bussi is expected to start Saturday in Ottawa.

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).

Bussi will start vs. Buffalo on Monday.

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 will start vs. Florida on Friday.

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 will start in St. Louis on Tuesday.

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).
