Bussi turned aside 16 shots in Thursday's 2-0 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie netminder wasn't busy as he cruised to his second shutout of the season, and he didn't face much of a challenge from a toothless New York offense that had just seen Artemi Panarin depart for Los Angeles. Bussi will carry a seven-start win streak into the Olympic break, a stretch in which he's delivered a dazzling 1.72 GAA and .921 save percentage.

Bussi will be between the visiting pipes against the Rangers on Thursday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bussi has won his last six starts and is a gaudy 22-3-1 with a 2.24 GAA and a .904 save percentage. This is his first season in the NHL, but at the age of 27, Bussi is not eligible for the Calder Trophy. The Rangers are generating 2.66 goals per game in 2025-26, good for 26th in the NHL.

Bussi stopped 22 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old netminder continues to amaze, extending his win streak to six games. Through his first 26 NHL outings, Bussi has gone a stunning 22-3-1 with a 2.24 GAA and a .904 save percentage. While he doesn't qualify as a rookie and likely won't see enough work to challenge Terry Sawchuk's NHL record of 44 wins by a rookie, Bussi could challenge Corey Crawford's 33-win rookie year in the 2010-11 regular season.

Bussi will start Tuesday's home clash with the Senators, per Ryan Henkel of The Hockey News.
EDGE Analysis
Bussi will draw his second consecutive start Tuesday after leading the team onto the ice for warmups. He has won each of his last five starts and has been exceptional in that span with a .917 save percentage and a 1.80 GAA. Overall, the 27-year-old netminder has a 21-3-1 record, a 2.21 GAA and a .905 save percentage across 25 appearances this season. He'll look to continue his strong 2025-26 campaign in a matchup against a strong Ottawa offense that ranks ninth in the NHL with 3.33 goals per game.

Bussi stopped 11 of 13 shots in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Bussi didn't have his best performance, but he was able to earn his fifth straight win. He's faced fewer than 20 shots in three of those victories, as the Hurricanes have their preferred defense rolling in strong form. Bussi improved to 21-3-1 with a 2.21 GAA and a .905 save percentage through 25 starts this season. The 27-year-old has mostly shared the crease with Frederik Andersen lately, so it wouldn't be surprising if the two goalies split the last two games before the Olympic break. The Hurricanes host the Senators on Tuesday before visiting the Rangers on Thursday.

Bussi will get the start Sunday against the Kings, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Three days after becoming the fastest goaltender in NHL history to reach 20 wins, Bussi will get yet another start. The 27-year-old rookie needed just 24 games to reach that milestone as he carries a 20-3-1 record, 2.22 GAA and .906 save percentage into his 25th NHL start. The Kings rank 28th in the league at 2.58 goals per game.

Bussi halted 21 of 25 shots on net in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Mammoth.
EDGE Analysis
With two minutes remaining on the clock, Bussi was headed towards his fourth regulation loss of the season before Carolina's offense erupted for three goals to place its netminder in the win column. With the comeback win, Bussi now has a 20-3-1 record, 2.22 GAA and .906 save percentage across 24 appearances this season. The 27-year-old netminder is on a four-game winning streak and has won seven of his last eight starts. In that span, he has posted a 2.01 GAA and a .916 save percentage, which ranks near the top of the league in both categories. Bussi continues to silence critics and looks every part of a top-tier NHL netminder, which gives him elite fantasy value in nearly all formats moving forward. He'll have a chance to extend his impressive run of play Saturday in a road clash with the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis
Bussi will get the nod in consecutive games for the third time in January. He is 6-2-0 with a 2.27 GAA and a .904 save percentage over his first eight outings of the month. The Mammoth have won five of their last six games, scoring 22 goals in that span.

Bussi made 35 saves in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie netminder had his shutout spoiled by Tim Stutzle midway through the second period, but Bussi otherwise had an answer for everything Ottawa fired his way. Bussi has won three straight starts and six of his last seven, posting a stellar 1.72 GAA and .927 save percentage over that stretch while locking down the top job in the Carolina crease.
