He&#8217;s posted a 23-3-1 record with a .906 save percentage and a 2.16 goals against average. Bussi set the all-time NHL record for fastest goalie to 10 wins, in only his 11th start this season. He then did the same for the 15-win mark, in his 18th start between the pipes. He then did the same in reaching the 20-win mark in record time, in just 24 starts.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Before we brought him to Raleigh, Brandon had been successful at every level from the USHL to college to the AHL,&#8221;\u00a0said GM Eric Tulsky.\u00a0&#8220;Given the opportunity at the NHL level this season, he\u2019s proven to be a winner here too. We are thrilled that he will continue to provide a steady presence in the crease for this team into the future.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Bussi was consistently above the .900 save percentage mark in four previous seasons in the AHL. In\u00a0111 career games at that level with the Providence Bruins, he went 63-31-13 with a 2.61 goals-against average, a .915 save percentage, and eight shutouts.<\/p>\n<p>As the Hurricanes tweeted themselves, there&#8217;ll be plenty more Bus stops to come in the Carolina net.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">More Bus stops to come \ud83d\udcaa <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/HyhDZ6sAEG\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/HyhDZ6sAEG<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Carolina Hurricanes (@Canes) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Canes\/status\/2023470796354859180?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">February 16, 2026<\/a>Credit:<\/p>\n<p>Photo: \u00a9 Brad Penner-Imagn Images\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u00a0 All aboard the Bussi in Raleigh.
