“Things happen at random times,” said Bussi, who has looked just as worthy of being in the NHL as those big-name prospects he shared the ice with at the AHL All-Star Game in 2023. “You can’t predict it.

Goaltender Brandon Bussi became the fastest goaltender in NHL history to record 10 career wins (11 GP) and has now won eight straight starts, tying Frederik Andersen for the second-longest streak by a goaltender in franchise history. Thursday's victory was his first to come in a shootout.

Carolina rookie Brandon Bussi made 15 saves for his first NHL shutout, Nikolaj Ehlers scored at 2:52 of overtime and Hurricanes beat the Calgary Flames 1-0 on Sunday for their second straight victory.
