Bussi stopped 23 of 25 shots in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
Bussi has won his last three outings, allowing seven goals on 70 shots in that span. He let a 2-0 lead slip away in this game, but the Hurricanes rebounded late in the third period to secure the win. Bussi is up to 28-6-1 with a 2.44 GAA and an .895 save percentage over 35 appearances. Bussi and Frederik Andersen mostly alternated starts in March, so it might be Andersen who gets the rematch against the Blue Jackets on Thursday.

Rotowire
Bussi made 25 saves in a 5-1 loss to Columbus on Tuesday.
This game wasn't on Bussi per se, but he wasn't part of the solution either.

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.

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

The 27-year-old is up to 25-3-1 on the year with a 2.29 GAA and a .903 save percentage.
