Bussi Turns Garbage Time Into Gold for Carolina

Brandon Bussi stepped into a mess and gave Carolina exactly the kind of calm, competent relief teams dream about in April and never seem to find when they need it. The game had already started to tilt, but he gave the Hurricanes a live body and a chance to breathe instead of folding the whole thing up early. For a team that lives on structure and survival hockey, a backup goalie flashing poise can change the temperature in a room fast.
