Back in win column Friday Bussi made 23 saves in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over the Maple Leafs.

Impact The rookie netminder gave up a goal in each regulation period, including William Nylander's tying tally midway through the third, but Bussi was able to escape Toronto with the victory when Alexander Nikishin ripped home the OT winner. Bussi has been looking shaky since the Olympic break, giving up more than three goals in four of six starts and losing three straight heading into Friday. Over that six-start stretch he's gone 3-3-0 with a 3.87 GAA and .844 save percentage, and he's fallen into a timeshare with Frederik Andersen as a result.

Facing Maple Leafs Bussi will patrol the visiting crease in Toronto on Friday, according to Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.

Impact Bussi will look to snap a three-game losing streak, the first time this season he has lost more than one in a row. Bussi is 25-6-1 with a pair of shutouts, a 2.45 GAA and an .895 save percentage over 32 contests in 2025-26. The Maple Leafs are tied for 16th in NHL scoring, averaging 3.12 goals per game, but will be without the services of Auston Matthews, who underwent MCL surgery Thursday and is done for the remainder of the season.

Hits rough patch Bussi made 25 saves in a 5-1 loss to Columbus on Tuesday.

Impact This game wasn't on Bussi per se, but he wasn't part of the solution either. Coach Rod Brind'Amour was blunt with reporters after the game: "If you're going to lose, that's probably the way you want to do it. You don't want to lose but play well. This was not a game we played well. Throw it away and come back tomorrow (against the Pittsburgh Penguins)." Bussi is on a personal three-game losing streak, and he's 2-3-0 in his last five starts. He has allowed at least four goals in four of those five games (.835).

MARCH 18 • ROTOWIRE

Slated to start Tuesday Bussi is expected to start Tuesday's road clash against the Blue Jackets, per Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.

Impact Bussi spent Monday's morning practice in the starter's crease, which is the main indicator that he'll likely draw Tuesday's start. Overall, the 27-year-old netminder has a 25-5-1 record, a 2.37 GAA and an .898 save percentage through 31 appearances this season. Since the Olympic break, he has struggled with a 2-2-0 record, a 3.81 GAA and an .835 save percentage across four outings. He'll look to get back on track Tuesday against the surging Blue Jackets, who have won five of their eight games in March.

MARCH 17 • ROTOWIRE

Two losses in row Bussi made 14 saves Thursday in a 3-1 loss to the Blues. He allowed two goals.

Impact This was the first time this season that Bussi has lost consecutive starts. He lost to Calgary on Saturday. Overall, Bussi is 25-5-1 with a 2.37 GAA and .899 save percentage. He's a reliable netminder playing behind a strong defense, and he wins a lot. Bussi is going to help you in your postseason.

Slated to start Thursday Bussi is slated to start at home against St. Louis on Thursday.

Impact Bussi has a 25-4-1 record, 2.38 GAA and .898 save percentage in 30 outings in 2025-26. Despite his strong season overall, he's struggled recently, allowing 13 goals on 75 shots (.827 save percentage) across his past three games. St. Louis suffered a 4-3 overtime loss to the Islanders on Tuesday, dropping the Blues' record to 25-29-10 and bringing an end to their four-game winning streak.

Sloppy outing in Calgary Bussi stopped 20 of 25 shots in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Flames.

Impact Bussi's been poor since the Olympic break, allowing 13 goals on 75 shots over his last three outings. He's still sharing the crease with Frederik Andersen, but the Hurricanes may opt to lean more on their veteran netminder if Bussi can't get his performance back on track. This loss ended his nine-game winning streak. Bussi is 25-4-1 with a 2.38 GAA and an .898 save percentage over 30 starts this season. The Hurricanes are next in action at home Tuesday versus the Penguins, who will be without both Sidney Crosby (lower body) and Evgeni Malkin (suspension).

Guarding goal in Calgary Bussi will start on the road versus the Flames on Saturday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

Impact Frederik Andersen helped the Hurricanes to a 6-3 win over the Oilers on Friday, and Bussi will start a day later. This is a favorable matchup for Bussi, as he draws a Flames team that sent Nazem Kadri to Colorado at the trade deadline. Bussi has won his last nine outings, adding a 2.22 GAA and .901 save percentage in that span.

MARCH 8 • ROTOWIRE

Escapes with win Bussi stopped 18 of 22 shots in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Canucks.

Impact 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 since the Hurricanes tend to not allow many shots in general. 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.
