The Carolina Hurricanes lost 5-1 to the Columbus Blue Jackets on March 17, 2026. The Hurricanes gave up a pair of power play goals in the 1st period and never really got going in a 5-1 loss to Columbus. Andrei Svechnikov scored a 4-on-4 goal in the 2nd to cut the lead in half. But, when Danton Heinen scored after his collision with Brandon Bussi behind the net left the Hurricanes goalie sprawled on the ice to make it 3-1 the Canes never recovered. Should that collision have resulted in a Columbus penalty? Would it have mattered anyway? Nicolas Deslauriers made his debut as a Hurricane and got into a fight, so there’s that.

Canes ain’t crumble… bussi crumbled, not much to it. Ain’t even give us a chance 3rd consecutive game
How do you not fault bussi😹😹😹, 2-1 and he fumbles the puck then lets in a soft goal right after ain’t no way u getting an ugly win after that. 2-1 going into 3rd so doable to get an ugly win
Is a goalie ever at fault? Just curious. Isn’t his job to be the last line of defense?
That was sh*. I'll give the hot Blue Jackets their credit but getting rocked 5-1 is on us.
The players must execute much better, Rod is coaching superbly
This is what i feared bussi would be, possibly a fluke? Good chance!!! But hey fastest goalie to 25 wins dont mean shit if u wont ever get to 30😂 looks like guaranteed contract money ruined that boy
Wasn't a real fight but Olivier came off the ice bleeding from the face. Ok.
You are 100% right about Coyle. He has been playing better hockey than 90% of 2Cs this year. He can fit anywhere in the lineup and also boosts a PP2 and PK2 that has common sightings of Mark Jankowski in 2026.
Seems like something is off mentally with half the players.
I wanna say that 13-15 of the 20 goals bussi has let is aren't really on him. Yeah he's let in stinkers but man has the defense been really bad in front of him recently. It's like they're playing like Freddy is bussi and bussi is Freddy now it's stupid
I didn’t see the Bussi fall due to a blatant trip. I can see it being called either way.
They're not going to win many games when they can't score more than one goal.
