Brandon Bussi Takes Blame For Loss; Teammates Have His Back

The Carolina Hurricanes lost their season opener to the Florida Panthers 1-0 in overtime, as a Gustav Forsling slapshot wound up past Brandon Bussi with just 4.3 seconds to go in the extra frame. Despite the puck deflecting off of Taylor Hall, the Carolina netminder shouldered the loss. "It might have hit our D-man or whatever," Bussi said. "Took a weird bounce, but it was far enough out, I should have found it. For some reason, I didn't get a good visual on it, and it's 4 seconds left, trying to get to a shootout. So I think on my standards, it's a bad goal." However, his team had his back. "He played great," said captain Jordan Staal. "Gave us a chance. That's what you want." "He's going to want that one back, but he's the reason we got the point," said Carolina coach Rod Brind'Amour. "I thought he made some real nice, big saves. Even though it wasn't a lot of action, he was good when we needed him to be."Oct 1, 2026

Logan Stankoven Joins The PK

The Carolina Hurricanes centerman has picked up penalty killing responsibilities this season, lining up with Sebastian Aho in the absence of Seth Jarvis. "We're missing a really good player and you don't replace that player," said Carolina coach Rod Brind'Amour. "You have fill in and Jarvy is a big penalty killer. Looking for someone to step up in there and I thought Logan did a great job. Both teams penalty kills were good tonight. Didn't give up much."Oct 1, 2026

Where Do You Think Alexander Nikishin Ends Up?

The RFA defenseman still remains without a contract and recently changed agents. "We're trying to find a resolution," said Carolina GM Eric Tulsky. "He has largely kept things out of the media and I want to be respectful and make sure that when players talk to me, they know that it's just between us. So if they're not talking to the media, I'm not going to either. But both sides are trying to find a resolution and figure out how we go forward from here."Oct 1, 2026

Rod Brind'Amour Drops Hilarious Postgame Quote

The Carolina Hurricanes and Florida Panthers played nearly 65 straight minutes of scoreless hockey to open up the 2026-27 season and it was certainly not the prettiest game. The two teams went a combined 0-for-13 on the power play and blundered multiple offensive chances. After the game, Hurricanes coach Rod Brind'Amour kept things real stating that "it wasn't a very good game to watch," before dropping a great one liner. "We didn't grow the game tonight, that's for sure."Oct 1, 2026
