### Hurricanes swap goalies: Bussi steps in for Andersen in Stanley Cup Final

ESPN NHL • June 10, 2026 at 9:37 PM ET

[Ă—](/bn/sports?tab=espn-nhl)

Carolina swept Frederik Andersen from the net for Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final, turning to rookie Brandon Bussi. Bussi, who posted a 31‑6‑2 record and a .895 save percentage last season, faced 19 shots in the third period and stopped 18, including a penalty‑shot stop by Mitch Marner during a hard‑hit defensive line that kept Vegas at bay.

Andersen, who had started every playoff game, gave up four goals on 16 shots in two periods of Game 3, prompting coach Rod Brind’Amour to pull him for a maintenance day. Bussi entered the third period, stopping 18 of 19 and forcing a penalty‑shot save that kept the Hurricanes in the game against the Golden Knights.

Bussi’s right‑hand catch contrasts with Andersen’s left, a change that could unsettle Vegas’ offensive rhythm. Despite the switch, the Golden Knights edged Carolina 3‑2, with Shea Theodore’s late goal deflecting off Bussi and into the net. The win keeps the series tied at 2‑2 and extends the championship drama. The Hurricanes now face a decisive Game 5 where every shift could swing the series and the pressure mounts on both sides as the stakes rise together.

Brind’Amour’s decision to sideline Andersen highlights the fine line between confidence and risk in a series where every save counts. Bussi’s performance, while solid, underscored the Hurricanes’ need for consistency as they chase a championship. Vegas’ victory keeps the finals alive, and the next game will decide who claims the Cup for this season today.
