Nikolaj Ehlers registered his second hat trick of the season, while Andrei Svechnikov and Sebastian Aho each had a goal and an assist, as the Hurricanes beat the Canucks, 6-4. Aho's 2nd period goal gave him 60 points on the season, making him just the 8th Finnish-born player in NHL history to have amassed 8 60-point seasons. Jari Kurri, Teemu Selanne and Mikko Rantanen are the other 3. Brandon Bussi allowed 4 goals on 22 shots, but he keeps winning. The Bus has 25 wins in his first 29 starts and...

The Hurricanes saw their 5-game winning streak come to an end as they fell to the Seattle Kraken, 2-1. The Kraken scored both of their goals in the 1st half of the second period as a couple of breakdowns led to grade A scoring chances. Nikolaj Ehlers got the Canes on the board late in the 2nd period, pouncing on a loose puck and ringing the bell for the 16th time this season to make it a 1-goal game heading into the 3rd. But, Carolina just couldn't generate enough from their 36 shots on goal and...

The Carolina Hurricanes took down the Detroit Red Wings, 5-2, as Taylor Hall and Shayne Gostisbehere each had a goal and two assists and Frederik Andersen made 27 saves. It was the 5th straight win for the Canes -- which ties a season high. Carolina is also on a 12-game point streak (10-0-2) and, as a result, moved ahead of Tampa Bay into the top spot in the East with 82 points. Andersen is 3-0-3 in his last 6 starts, Jackson Blake added a goal and an assist and Sebastian Aho's power play goal g...

The Hurricanes got off to a flying start, lost a 3-goal lead, but buttoned up the 3rd period in a 5-4 win over the Lightning. It starts the final 25 game stretch on a great note for Carolina, who maintains their 8-point lead over Pittsburgh in the Metropolitan Division. The Logan Stankoven line was on fire in the first period, scoring twice and tying the Lightning in knots. But, Carolina was a bit of a defensive mess -- and if we're being honest, a bit fortunate to not be trailing in the game --...

The Canes and goaltender Brandon Bussi agree on a 3-year contract extension. We discuss that, the roster work still to do before the trade deadline and the incredible Olympic hockey quarterfinals. Oh, and I also spent about 15 minutes on the phone with The Bus himself. Enjoy!

Brandon Bussi made 16 saves, Andrei Svechnikov and Jordan Staal scored goals and the Canes extended their points streak to 10 straight in a 2-0 win at Madison Square Garden. Andrei scored at 6:26 of the first period coming right off the bench to corral a loose puck at the blue line and beat Jonathan Quick for his 21st goal of the season. Svech has 9 goals in his last 10 games. Staal's 15th of the season, into an empty net, was his 5th in the last 7 games. Nikolaj Ehlers' great defensive play to ...

Jordan Staal's game-winning goal, with just more than 5 minutes to play helped the Canes to a 4-3 win over Ottawa as they extend their points streak to 9 straight games (7-0-2). Staal's 14th of the season was the 8th time that Staal has given Carolina the lead with a goal. Seth Jarvis scored twice, Sebastian Aho added a goal and 2 assists, and Brandon Bussi won for the 22nd time in 26 NHL starts. It was another game in which the Hurricanes weren't necessarily the better team, though Carolina def...

Sebastian Aho's overtime goal, 1:25 into the 3-on-3 session, gave the Canes a 3-2 win over the Kings, extending their points streak to 8 straight games (6-0-2). One night after leading 3-0 only to lose in overtime, Carolina led 2-0 with just over 7 minutes to play. But, the Kings capitalized on a Hurricanes mistake 24 seconds later to cut the lead in half and drew even with 3:11 to play and we were headed beyond regulation for the 2nd straight night -- and the 3rd time in the last 5 games. This ...

How should the headline read? The Canes blow a 3-0 lead and lose, 4-3, in overtime? Or, the Canes stole a point in their OT loss in Washington? Because both of those things are essentially true. According to head coach Rod Brind'Amour his team was as bad as he can recall in a 60-minute game. And, statistically speaking, he was not wrong. Carolina was dominated in every area of the game -- other than goaltending -- in the loss. Only Frederik Andersen, who made 38 saves on the night, drew praise f...

Brandon Bussi made 34 saves to win his 19th game of the season as the Hurricanes beat the Senators, 4-1. Bussi's victory helps to continue a record breaking start to his career. No NHL goalie has ever won 19 of his first 23 starts. In Bussi's 23 starts he's allowed 4 or more goals just twice and 8 times -- including the last three -- he's allowed 1 or fewer goals. Carolina wasn't very good in the win, but they managed to score 3 times in the first period as William Carrier, Seth Jarvis and Taylo...

The Canes lost to the Chicago Blackhawks, 4-3, in a shootout on a night when the power play -- which had been excellent of late -- went 0 for 5 and conceded a shorthanded goal. Joel Nystrom scored his first NHL goal and was joined on the scoresheet by Jordan Staal and Jackson Blake in the loss. One thing Carolina did well on Thursday was bounce back. They never led in the game, but each time Chicago scored the Canes seemed to get the game back even quickly. Alexander Nikishin took part in his fi...

Brandon Bussi only had to make 17 saves. But, you ask Buffalo's Tage Thompson if Carolina's goalie played well. Thompson, a 25 goal scorer already this year, easily could have had a hat trick against the Canes were it not for Bussi. One save was so amazing, the game broadcasters -- both local and national -- assumed that a goal had been scored. It was THAT good. Andrei Svechnikov scored for the 3rd straight game and Seth Jarvis' power play goal, 2 minutes into the 3rd period, was the game winner...

What a 27 hours for the Canes! One night after they tarred and feathered the Florida Panthers, 9-1, Carolina rode the goaltending of Frederik Andersen and an Andrei Svechnikov hat trick for a 4-1 win in Newark. Andersen made 28 saves, with most of the toughest ones coming early as the Hurricanes struggled to get into the game after the emotions of Friday night's blowout. But, Andersen kept them level and then Svechnikov scored twice in 58 seconds late in the 2nd to stake Carolina to the lead. Ti...

Nine goals. Nine goals. The Carolina Hurricanes hung 9 goals around Sergei Bobrovsky and the Florida Panthers. Nikolaj Ehlers, who now has 11 goals in 18 career games against Florida, picked up his first hat trick with the Hurricanes (6th of his career), as Carolina scored 6 times in the 3rd period in the 9-1 win. While nothing really can erase the sting of blowing a combined lead of 5-0 in the first two meetings between these two teams, Carolina extending the lead over and over and over again i...

The Hurricanes were shut out for the first time this season, 3-0, in St Louis. Carolina's 5-game point streak came to an end on a night when they looked unwilling to play their game. Brandon Bussi allowed 3 goals on 31 shots in the loss with all three coming in the 2nd period where the Blues skated circles around Carolina. Before the game, St Louis was -- based on goal differential -- the worst 2nd period team in the NHL at -25. They were +3 in the 2nd tonight.

Two ways to look at the Canes' 4-3 (OT) loss to the Red Wings. Great, you rallied with 3 goals in the 3rd period to force overtime so you feel happy with the result. Disappointed that you gave the puck away twice and they led to Detroit goals. Angry, because two really awful -- and very easily-called -- penalties went uncalled with the second one resulting in the game-winner from Andrew Copp.

The Canes fell behind, 2-1, in the third period, but the Captain's line produced a pair of goals as Carolina rallied to beat Seattle, 3-2. The win was the 4th straight for the Canes, who maintain a 4-point lead over the Islanders in the Metropolitan division. Jaccob Slavin made his return to the lineup after missing the last 10 games. In all, Slavin has played in just 6 of the Hurricanes' first 45 games. Logan Stankoven's 1st period goal got the Hurricanes in front of the game. The goal was his ...

Freddie Andersen made 11 saves in his first win since November 6 as the Hurricanes won their 3rd straight game, 5-2, over the Ducks. Mark Jankowski scored in the 2nd period to tie the game at 1-1, but it was arguably the most important play of the entire night. The Hurricanes were flat until jankowski's goal and then they took control of the game. Logan Stankoven, Jalen Chatfield and Jackson Blake each scored and Taylor Hall -- who's patience created Stankoven's 3rd goal in as many games -- put ...

K'Andre Miller scored twice, Andrei Svechnikov and Nikolaj Ehlers combeind for 7 assists and Seth Jarvis made an energizing return to the lineup as the Canes blasted the Stars, 6-3. Carolina celebrated Star Wars night in style. Miller scored twice, the first time since opening night -- when he also bagged a brace -- that he found the back of the net. Shayne Gostisbehere and Will Carrier also scored and Brandon Bussi won for the 15th time in 18 starts.

Brandon Bussi stopped 28 shots and Taylor Hall had a goal and an assist as the Hurricanes snapped their 3-game losing streak with a 3-1 win over the Devils in Newark. Nikolaj Ehlers scored in the opening minute as his slight deflection of a Sean Walker point shot led to a rebound and a Luke Hughes own goal. Hughes would also give up the puck to Hall for his 7th goal of the year, a forechecking classic as Hall knocked the puck off Hughes' stick and it slid past Jake Allen into the net for a 2-1 l...

For the 5th time in their last 8 games the Canes coughed up a multi-goal lead. The Canes entered the 3rd period with a 3-1 lead, but Colorado scored twice in the first two minutes of the period and went on to win their 10th straight. Carolina lost for the 3rd straight time. Sebastian Aho, Nikolaj Ehlers and Andrei Svechnikov each scored -- the second straight game that's happened -- and Aho now has 16 points in his last 9 games -- but Svechnikov and Ehlers each committed 3rd period penalties tha...

The Hurricanes lost the first game of 2026, a 7-5 gong show of a game against the Canadiens. Carolina trailed 2-0 early, then fought back to take a 4-2 lead before giving up the next 4 goals through a series of turnovers and poor goaltending. It was the first home loss for Brandon Bussi, the second straight loss for the Hurricanes, and it comes as the next game will be against the Colorado Avalanche. Sebastian Aho had 2 goals and 3 assists on the night, his second career 5-point effort. Andrei S...

Frederik Andersen was every bit as good as the team that played in front of him against the Penguins. That's to say he was bad as Pittsburgh beat Carolina 5-1 to close out the 2025 portion of the schedule. Andersen allowed 5 goals in the first two periods, and the Hurricanes couldn't muster a response until Mark Jankowski's second goal of the season late in the 2nd. Andersen hasn't won a game since a 4-3 shootout win over the Wild on November 6, and in his 8-game losing streak (0-6-2) he carries...

Jackson Blake's first career overtime game-winner gave the Hurricanes a 3-2 win over the Rangers on Monday night. Blake's goal came on the power play -- the second power play goal of the game -- and helped get Brandon Bussi his 13th win of the season. Bussi, who wasn't the scheduled starter, but was pressed into action when Pyotr Kochetkov was placed on injured reserve after it was announced that he would undergo surgery on his hip and would likely miss the rest of the season. Brandon made 18 sa...
