Goaltender, Brandon Bussi, won his seventh game in a row and his ninth in 10 career NHL games as the Carolina Hurricanes defeated the Columbus Blue Jackets, 4-1 on Tuesday night at the Lenovo Center.
Bussi says he is just taking everything one game at a time, but he is just the fifth goalie in NHL history to win nine of his first ten games.
The netminder made 23 saves on 24 shots and improved his stats to 9-1-0, with a GAA 2.09 and SV% of .909.
After falling behind 1-0 in the first period, the Canes tied things up in the second when Andrei Svechnikov stole the puck and fed Seth Jarvis, who made no mistake.
In the third period, Taylor Hall took a nice pass from Joel Nystrom who had just stolen the puck, and fed a streaking Eric Robinson, who roofed in his shot to make it 2-1.
The Hurricanes then scored on a powerplay when Jordan Staal tipped in a shot from the point by Svechnikov.
Staal, who was recently put on the powerplay to help win more faceoffs, is earning more time by using his skill in front of the net. One might wonder, why didn’t they try this earlier?
Jordan Martinook scored into an empty net to close things out.
Head Coach, Rod Brind’Amour, was happy with the game afterward.
“The whole game, I thought, was good. Obviously, we got behind, but we just kept playing. Everyone contributed tonight.“
The Canes finished this homestand with 4-3 record.
Next up will be a trip up I95 to take on the red hot and first place Capitals.
