NEWARK, N.J. – The Carolina Hurricanes are expected to turn to Brandon Bussi between the pipes on Sunday when the team takes on the New Jersey Devils.<\/p>\n
Eyeing a bounce-back performance after his toughest night in the NHL to date on Thursday, in which he allowed six goals on 21 shots in a loss to Montreal, the 27-year-old has been otherwise stellar in a 13-2-1 start to his career at the highest level.<\/p>\n
In front of him, Sebastian Aho and Andrei Svechnikov will look to continue their stellar runs.<\/p>\n
Aho enters tonight’s tilt with nine points in his last four games, more than all but two NHL players in that span. Svechnikov arrives at the Prudential Center with 13 points in his last nine games.<\/p>\n
