Cayden Primeau is on an absolute roll.

Since Jan. 9, he is 9-0-0 with a .935 save percentage.

Huge day for the Wolves, as they get Givani Smith and Charles-Alexis Legault back.

The two have been out of action due to injuries since Nov. 8 and Nov. 9, respectively.

One week until the /search?f=tweets&q=%23Canes return to game action!

As for today's practice, it's the same setup as the last three days.

The team will stay off the ice tomorrow and is scheduled to skate again on Saturday.

Another day of shaking off the rust and getting back into a rhythm for the /search?f=tweets&q=%23Canes.

No changes from yesterday. Eric Robinson (upper-body injury) continues working in a yellow, no-contact sweater.

end of the ice.

Eric Robinson, who has been out since Jan. 19 with an upper-body injury, is skating. He's in a yellow no-contact jersey.

Given the absences, there's no reason to put any stock into these, but here's how today's workflow looks:

They're back!

The #Canes resume practicing today, beginning their ramp-up toward their first game back after the break, which is Feb. 26 vs. Tampa.

Obviously, they're working without their five Olympic participants.

Jorge Alves is the second netminder, with Brandon Bussi at the opposite (1/3)

Brandon Bussi called the decision to take the three-year extension "a no-brainer."

"I love the Raleigh area. I love my teammates. I think we have the potential to do some very exciting things here over the next few years..."

Brandon Bussi says his new multi-year security is great; however, "nothing changes" about his game.

"You're always proving yourself in this league, right? If things aren't going well for me and I'm not producing, I won't be here...

Yes, it's amazing to have this stability and to feel (1/2)

Eric Tulsky on Brandon Bussi's extension:

In celebration of Brandon Bussi’s extension, the Carolina Hurricanes Foundation will make a $10,000 donation to the Autism Society of North Carolina.

Bussi’s younger brother, Dylan, has autism, and Brandon’s goalie mask is a tribute to Dylan meant to raise awareness. πŸ‘

The #Canes have signed goaltender Brandon Bussi to a three-year contract extension!

The deal will pay Bussi an average annual value (AAV) of $1.9 million per year through the 2028-29 season.

Chicago takes another from one of the best in the West.

Bradly Nadeau had two goals, and Noel Gunler won it with 3:50 to go in regulation.

After creating some late magic with the extra attacker on to tie it, Chicago gets an overtime winner courtesy of Felix Unger Sorum for the second time in as many weekends.

With 30 saves, it’s an eighth consecutive victory for Cayden Primeau.

Bradly Nadeau will take part in the Rapid Fire and the Hardest Shot.

Justin Robidas will compete in the Puck Control Relay and the Fastest Skater.

Domenick Fensore will pass to the Accuracy Shooters and participate in the Pass & Score.

All three will go in the Breakaway Relay.

For a second consecutive Friday, the Wolves walked into a division leader's building and left with a W.

Felix Unger Sorum (2G, 1 A) led the way, and Cayden Primeau won his seventh straight start, stopping 39.

Rod Brind'Amour said he "liked all of it, start to finish" tonight.

"I thought we stuck with the game plan and didn't get flustered. I thought, for the most part, we were pretty in control of the game."

The #Canes have now completed their two trips to Madison Square Garden this season.

They allowed zero goals in those games, with Pyotr Kochetkov and Brandon Bussi each recording a shutout.

W!

Playing in front of family and friends, Brandon Bussi records his second NHL shutout, getting the #Canes a 2-0 win over the Rangers.

Andrei Svechnikov and Jordan Staal were the goal-scorers, and Carolina is headed into the Olympic break on a 10-game point streak!

The Captain is going into the break with goals in three consecutive games and a five-game point streak.

Nice work from Nikolaj Ehlers to make it happen.

Jordan Staal hits the empty net and the #Canes go up 2-0 in the final minute!

06.02.2026 02:39 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

40 minutes down, 20 (oΜΆrΜΆ mΜΆoΜΆrΜΆeΜΆ) to go. Still 1-0, #Canes.

No change in scoring, but Carolina really took hold of the game in that period.

As /corylav pointed out a few moments ago, five-on-five shot attempts are 56-14 in favor of Rod Brind'Amour's group.
