Date News Advice
Nov. 10, 2025 Bussi stopped 16 of 20 shots in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Maple Leafs. - Bussi was making his first start since Oct. 30, when he stopped 26 of 28 shots in a 6-2 win over the Islanders. While he earned the win in this matchup, allowing four goals on 20 shots isn't what most fantasy managers would want from a netminder. Bussi has done a good job piling up wins, though. He's won four of his five starts this season, going 4-1-0 with a 2.60 GAA and an .898 save percentage. He should remain a backup-only option in a crowded crease, as the Hurricanes also have Pyotr Kochetkov as a backup option behind Frederik Andersen. None
Nov. 9, 2025 Bussi will start in net Sunday against the Maple Leafs, Adam Gold of 99.9 The Fan reports. - Bussi hasn't started since Oct. 30, a 6-2 win against the Islanders in which he made 26 saves on 28 shots on goal. The 27-year-old has been solid when called upon this season, compiling a 3-1-0 record, 2.25 GAA and a .916 save percentage. He faces a Maple Leafs offense that is top five in the league, scoring 3.67 goals per game this season. None
Oct. 30, 2025 Bussi was the first goalie off during Thursday's morning skate, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports, indicating that he'll draw the home start against the Islanders. - Bussi was in the starter's crease during the Hurricanes' morning skate, and he'll be in net Thursday for the second time in the team's last three games. He's made three previous starts this year, all on the road, going 2-1-0 with a 2.33 GAA and .911 save percentage. The Islanders have had a solid start to the year offensively, averaging 3.56 goals per game, which ranks ninth in the league. None
Oct. 25, 2025 Bussi is expected to guard the road crease against Dallas on Saturday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports. - Bussi has a 2-0-0 record, 1.97 GAA and .911 save percentage in two appearances in 2025-26. That success has earned him another start after Frederik Andersen allowed at least three goals in four of his five outings this year. Dallas is a strong adversary, but the Stars are off to a mediocre start, posting a 3-3-1 record while averaging 3.00 goals per game. None
Oct. 18, 2025 Bussi is expected to guard the road crease against LA on Saturday, per Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site. - Bussi will make his second career start after saving 16 of 17 shots en route to a 5-1 win over San Jose on Tuesday. Although more is expected of the Kings than the Sharks this season, LA has gotten off to a rough start. The Kings are 1-3-1 and rank 27th in goals per game with 2.60 this year. None
Oct. 14, 2025 Bussi was the first goaltender off at Tuesday's morning skate, Max Miller of NHL.com reports, which indicates he'll draw the start in San Jose. - Bussi is slated to make his NHL debut Tuesday in San Jose, as he's currently serving as the No. 2 netminder behind Frederik Andersen due to Pyotr Kochetkov (lower body) being on injured reserve. The 27-year-old Bussi has appeared in at least 32 regular-season games with AHL Providence in each of the last three years, most recently registering a 15-14-3 record, .907 save percentage and 2.77 GAA over 33 outings in 2024-25. He'll face a Sharks club that is 0-0-2 but has found the back of the net nine times across its first two games. None
Oct. 5, 2025 Carolina claimed Bussi off waivers from Florida on Sunday. - Bussi posted a 15-14-3 record with a 2.77 GAA and a .907 save percentage over 33 regular-season appearances for AHL Providence in 2024-25. He is currently behind Frederik Andersen and Pyotr Kochetkov on the Carolina depth chart. None
Oct. 4, 2025 Bussi was placed on waivers Saturday, per PuckPedia. - Bussi had a 15-14-3 record with a 2.77 GAA and a .907 save percentage over 33 regular-season appearances for AHL Providence in 2024-25. If he clears waivers, he will begin the 2025-26 campaign with AHL Charlotte. None
Sept. 30, 2025 Bussi will defend the cage on the road versus the Lightning on Tuesday, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports. - Bussi will likely be seeing his last preseason action, with Daniil Tarasov and Sergei Bobrovsky almost certain to feature in the final two preseason tilts, also against the Lightning. Once the Cats cut down their roster, Bussi figures to link up with AHL Charlotte for the bulk of the 2025-26 campaign. None
July 1, 2025 Bussi signed a one-year, two-way contract worth $775,000 with the Panthers on Tuesday, per PuckPedia. - Bussi spent the 2024-25 campaign with AHL Providence, going 15-14-3 with a .907 save percentage and 2.77 GAA across 33 regular-season games. The New York native also had a 1-1-0 record with a 2.42 GAA and and a .918 save percentage in two postseason outings with Boston's minor-league affiliate. Considering Florida signed Daniil Tarasov on Tuesday, Bussi will more than likely be limited to playing time with AHL Charlotte this coming season, but he's an injury away from a promotion to the big club. None
Oct. 6, 2024 Bussi was placed on waivers Sunday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports. - Assuming he doesn't get claimed by another team, Bussi will begin the 2024-25 campaign with AHL Providence. He was in the running for a roster spot for Opening Night before the Bruins signed Jeremy Swayman on Sunday. None
Oct. 5, 2024 Bussi is set to guard the road goal against Washington in Saturday's preseason contest. - Bussi had a 2.67 GAA and a .913 save percentage across 41 regular-season appearances with AHL Providence in 2023-24. Although he was originally projected to start the 2024-25 campaign in the minors, Jeremy Swayman remains unsigned as a restricted free agent, opening a spot for Bussi to serve as Boston's No. 2 netminder behind Joonas Korpisalo. Bussi's stay in the NHL will depend on how long Swayman remains without a contract with the Bruins. None
Oct. 2, 2024 Bussi turned aside 13 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 preseason win over the Flyers. - A second-period wrister from Travis Konecny was the only puck to beat Bussi on the night. The 26-year-old netminder is getting a long look in camp due to Jeremy Swayman's contract dispute, and while Bussi has yet to make his NHL debut, he's making a solid case to open the season as the Bruins' No. 2 goalie behind Joonas Korpisalo if Swayman remains unsigned when the games begin to count next week. None
Oct. 1, 2024 Bussi will protect the home goal versus the Flyers in Tuesday's preseason game, Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic reports. - This will be Bussi's third start of the preseason. He's allowed six goals on 44 shots over his previous two outings. Bussi will be in contention for an NHL job, competing with Michael DiPietro, as long as Jeremy Swayman remains an unsigned restricted free agent. None
Sept. 26, 2024 Bussi is slated to start on the road against the Rangers in Thursday's preseason contest. - Bussi will attempt to get some revenge against New York after he surrendered two goals on 12 shots in 30:14 of ice time during Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Rangers. Bussi was initially projected to start the 2024-25 campaign in the minors, but if Jeremy Swayman, who is a restricted free agent, doesn't sign before Opening Night, then Bussi might begin the season as Boston's No. 2 netminder behind Joonas Korpisalo. None
Sept. 22, 2024 Bussi will patrol the home crease Sunday in preseason action versus the Rangers, per Conor Ryan of The Boston Globe. - Bussi posted a 23-10-5 record with a 2.67 GAA and a .913 save percentage across 41 regular-season appearances with AHL Providence in 2023-24. He could start the 2024-25 campaign with Boston if Jeremy Swayman, a restricted free agent, remains unsigned. The 26-year-old Bussi doesn't have any NHL playing time in his career. None
June 24, 2024 Bussi signed a one-year, two-way contract with Boston on Monday. - Bussi posted a 23-10-5 record with a 2.67 GAA and a .913 save percentage in 41 regular-season games with AHL Providence in 2023-24. The 25-year-old netminder doesn't have any NHL experience yet. He will probably spend most, if not all, of the 2024-25 campaign in the minors, though that could change if the Bruins make a trade involving a goaltender. None
May 13, 2024 Bussi was recalled from AHL Providence on Monday. - Bussi posted a 23-10-5 record with a 2.67 GAA and a .913 save percentage in 41 minor-league appearances during the 2023-24 regular season.

April 21, 2024 Bussi was assigned to AHL Providence on Sunday. - Bussi served as Boston's emergency netminder in Saturday's playoff opener against Toronto. He has posted a 23-10-5 record this season with a 2.67 GAA and a .913 save percentage in 40 AHL outings. None
April 20, 2024 Bussi was summoned from AHL Providence on Saturday, according to the AHL's transaction list. - Bussi has a 2.67 GAA and a .913 save percentage in 40 AHL contests with Providence in 2023-24. He is projected to serve as an insurance policy behind Jeremy Swayman and Linus Ullmark to begin the NHL playoffs.

Jan. 16, 2024 Bussi was reassigned to AHL Providence on Tuesday, Mark Divver of the New England Hockey Journal reports. - Bussi's demotion indicates Linus Ullmark (lower body) may be on track to return Thursday against the Avalanche. Bussi has yet to make his NHL debut. None
Jan. 11, 2024 Per Mark Divver of the New England Hockey Journal, Bussi was called up from AHL Providence on Thursday. - Bussi was recalled due to the lower-body injury suffered by Linus Ullmark on Tuesday. Bussi will back up Jeremy Swayman in Vegas on Thursday. Bussi was recalled Dec. 7, also in a backup role and has yet to see any NHL action in his career. Bussi was 10-6-3 with a 2.94 GAA and a .901 save percentage in 20 AHL appearances this season. None
Dec. 8, 2023 Bussi was reassigned to AHL Providence on Friday. - Bussi was recalled Thursday as Jeremy Swayman was unavailable due to an illness. Swayman returned to practice Friday, making Bussi redundant. Bussi was 6-4-2 with a 2.58 GAA and .917 save percentage in AHL action before his recall. None
Dec. 7, 2023 Bussi was promoted from AHL Providence on Thursday. - Bussi figures to serve as the backup to Linus Ullmark with Jeremy Swayman (illness) unavailable. The 25-year-old Bussi has yet to make his NHL debut but is putting together good numbers in the minors.

June 19, 2023 Bussi signed a one-year, two-way contract extension with Boston on Monday. - Bussi posted a 22-5-4 record with AHL Providence during the 2022-23 campaign to go along with a 2.40 GAA and a .924 save percentage. The 24-year-old netminder is still waiting for a chance to make his NHL debut. Bussi is likely to spend the majority of next season in the minors. None
April 25, 2023 Bussi was assigned to AHL Providence on Tuesday. - Bussi could get a chance to play in the Calder Cup Playoffs. He had been serving as the third goaltender on Boston's roster behind Linus Ullmark and Jeremy Swayman. None
April 17, 2023 Bussi was recalled from AHL Providence on Monday. - Bussi was brought up to serve as the third goalie for the purposes of emergency, according to the Bruins. However, there's a chance that he could suit up in Game 1 against Florida on Monday because netminders Linus Ullmark (illness) and Jeremy Swayman (illness) are both considered game-time decisions for Boston's playoff opener. None
April 14, 2023 Bussi was returned to AHL Providence on Friday. - Bussi was recalled Wednesday as Linus Ullmark (undisclosed) did not travel with the team to Montreal for Thursday's season finale.

April 12, 2023 Bussi was recalled from AHL Providence on Wednesday. - Bussi's promotion could be an indication that Linus Ullmark (undisclosed) won't be available against the Habs on Thursday. Even with his promotion, Bussi is unlikely to get the start and figures to serve as the No. 2 option behind Jeremy Swayman. None
April 10, 2023 Bussi was reassigned to AHL Providence on Monday. - Bussi's return to the minors bodes well for the availability of Linus Ullmark (lower body) ahead of Tuesday's matchup with Washington.

2025-11-10 analysis Bussi hasn't started since Oct. 30, a 6-2 win against the Islanders in which he made 26 saves on 28 shots on goal. The 27-year-old has been solid when called upon this season, compiling a 3-1-0 record, 2.25 GAA and a .916 save percentage. He faces a Maple Leafs offense that is top five in the league, scoring 3.67 goals per game this season. Bussi was making his first start since Oct. 30, when he stopped 26 of 28 shots in a 6-2 win over the Islanders.

2025-10-31 analysis Bussi was in the starter's crease during the Hurricanes' morning skate, and he'll be in net Thursday for the second time in the team's last three games. He's made three previous starts this year, all on the road, going 2-1-0 with a 2.33 GAA and a .911 save percentage. The Islanders have had a solid start to the year offensively, averaging 3.56 goals per game, which ranks ninth in the league. The game was tighter than the score shows -- the Canes went into the third with a 3-1 lead before the offense took things up a notch. Bussi is 3-1-0 in four starts with a 2.25 GAA and .916 save percentage. The 27-year-old goalie made his NHL debut this season at age 27 years after four pro seasons, mostly in the AHL. So far, Bussi is having a pinch-me-I'm-dreaming start to his NHL career.
2025-10-31 update Bussi was the first goalie off during Thursday's morning skate, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports, indicating that he'll draw the home start against the Islanders. Bussi made 26 saves in a 6-2 win over the Islanders on Thursday. He also picked up a goalie assist.

2025-10-26 analysis Bussi has a 2-0-0 record, 1.97 GAA and .911 save percentage in two appearances in 2025-26. That success has earned him another start after Frederik Andersen allowed at least three goals in four of his five outings this year. Dallas is a strong adversary, but the Stars are off to a mediocre start, posting a 3-3-1 record while averaging 3.00 goals per game. Deflections on two of the goals doomed Bussi, sending him to his first NHL loss. That's not his fault, especially when he's playing behind a team missing three regular defensemen and two bottom-six forwards. He's allowed seven goals on 79 shots over his first three NHL starts, filling in admirably as the Hurricanes' backup goalie while Pyotr Kochetkov (lower body) is on the shelf. Frederik Anderse
2025-10-26 update Bussi is expected to guard the road crease against Dallas on Saturday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports. Bussi stopped 31 of 34 shots in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Stars.
