MONTREAL – Goaltender Brandon Bussi is expected to make his third start of the season this evening, as the Carolina Hurricanes go head-to-head with the Montreal Canadiens.<\/p>\n

The second-year NHLer had a strong start to his season, turning away 19 of 20 in a tough-luck loss to the Florida Panthers on opening night.<\/p>\n

In front of him, the team is expected to stick with the same batch of skaters who earned a victory<\/a> on Saturday night in Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

With William Carrier and Andrei Svechnikov\u00a0on his wings, Sebastian Aho turned in the team’s first multi-goal showing of the season.\u00a0Defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere\u00a0put a bow on the win with a seeing-eye drive on the power play in overtime.<\/p>\n

Don’t miss a second of the action tonight, which starts\u00a0at 7 p.m. on Hurricanes Hockey Network.<\/a><\/p>\n

PP2: Ehlers, Hall,\u00a0Jankowski (Staal), and Stankoven with Miller<\/p>\n

Jordan Staal has been taking the faceoffs to start most power plays. If he wins it, he’ll stay on the ice. When the puck comes out of the zone, he jumps off, and Nikolaj Ehlers jumps on with the first unit. When with the second unit, Mark\u00a0Jankowski jumps on when Staal goes off.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"MONTREAL – Goaltender Brandon Bussi is expected to make his third start of the season this evening, as…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":873462,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[66],"tags":[385,99],"class_list":["post-873461","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-nhl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/873461","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=873461"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/873461\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/873462"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=873461"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=873461"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=873461"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
