Bussi makes 16 saves and Svechnikov scores early goal to lift Hurricanes over
Rangers 2-0
NEW YORK (AP) --- Rookie Brandon Bussi made 16 saves for his second shutout,
Andrei Svechnikov gave Carolina an early lead in the first period and the
Hurricanes topped the New York Rangers 2-0 on Thursday night to extend their
points streak to 10 games.
Jordan Staal scored into an empty net with 54 seconds left to seal it for the
Hurricanes in the final game for both teams before the Olympic break.
The Eastern Conference-leading Hurricanes are 8-0-2 since Jan. 16 and 12-1-3
since Jan. 4.
Jonathan Quick made a season-high 41 saves for the Rangers, who were shut out
for the ninth time this season and the seventh at home. New York has lost four
in a row.
Svechnikov made it 1-0 game 6:26 into the first period on a wrist shot off an
assist from Mark Jankowski. And Bussi, who has won his last seven starts, made
that goal hold up.
Bussi's first career shutout came on Nov. 30, 2025, when he stopped 15 shots
against Calgary.
