Brandon Bussi is now 14-1-0 at Lenovo Center.

He's tied Utah's Karel Vejmelka (14-7-1) for the most home wins by a goaltender this season.
February 1, 2026 at 11:59 PM
Sebastian Aho now has 18 OT winners since the three-on-three format was introduced in 2015-16, tying Sidney Crosby and Brad Marchand for the second most among all players over that span.

Only Leon Draisaitl (20) has more.

W!

A strange game, but the #Canes come out on top, beating the Kings 3-2 in overtime.

Carolina held Los Angeles to just 13 shots, Sebastian Aho closed it out with the winner, and Rod Brind'Amour's group moves its point streak to eight games.

Handshakes and love from the #Canes to Anze Kopitar, following the final regular-season meeting between the two sides.

Best of luck to LA's Captain in the next chapter of his life. 🫡

Sebastian Aho's 18th career overtime winner sends the Caniacs home happy on a wintery day in Raleigh. ☃️
February 1, 2026 at 11:07 PM
Exhale.

That would've been a tough one for the #Canes to drop, but Sebastian Aho secures his group the second point.
February 1, 2026 at 11:06 PM
Sebastian Aho, overtiiiiiiiime winner!

#Canes beat the Kings, 3-2.
February 1, 2026 at 11:06 PM
For a second consecutive day, the #Canes are headed to OT.

Carolina is 9-6 in overtime this season, while LA is 9-13.
February 1, 2026 at 11:05 PM
Quinton Byfield ties it up with 3:11 remaining in regulation.

2-2.
February 1, 2026 at 11:05 PM
It was already an effective shift for the Stankoven line, and an Alexander Nikishin keep-in elongated the zone time. Seconds later, he helped end the push on a positive note.

Zero indecision on the shot. 🎯
February 1, 2026 at 11:05 PM
Some quality work from the line of Jackson Blake, Logan Stankoven, and Taylor Hall brought the opportunity to life, and Nikishin didn't miss.

That's a big moment for Nikishin's seventh of the season, which looks even more crucial now.
February 1, 2026 at 10:37 PM
Los Angeles snaps Brandon Bussi's shutout bid with 6:39 on the clock.

Under 30 seconds after the #Canes went up two, Samuel Helenius makes it a 2-1 game.
February 1, 2026 at 10:37 PM
The #Canes double their lead with 7:03 to go!

Alexander Nikishin buries to make it 2-0.
February 1, 2026 at 10:37 PM
A great break-up from Jaccob Slavin helps save what may have been a goal.

Just another day at the office for the #Canes defenseman.
February 1, 2026 at 10:33 PM
40 minutes down, 20 (o̶r̶ m̶o̶r̶e̶) to go. Still 1-0, #Canes.

Carolina has given LA absolutely no room today.

The Kings have eight shots through two periods.
February 1, 2026 at 9:53 PM
Corey Perry and Jordan Martinook go at it right off the opening puck drop for the second period.

Perry, who was the aggressor, got a double minor, and Martinook got two minutes for roughing.
February 1, 2026 at 9:54 PM
Done with 20 minutes at Lenovo Center. 1-0, #Canes.

Not a ton going on that period in terms of chances, but the home team made one of theirs count.

Like Thursday against Utah, there's also some feistiness.
February 1, 2026 at 8:49 PM
Flawless.

Carolina's power play now has 27 goals in their last 29 games, tops among all NHL teams since Dec. 6.
February 1, 2026 at 8:32 PM
Win the draw, get rewarded.

A set play executed to perfection.
February 1, 2026 at 8:30 PM
The #Canes open the scoring with a power play goal 6:25 in!

Just three seconds into the attempt, Jordan Staal redirects one past Anton Forsberg.
February 1, 2026 at 8:30 PM
The #Canes try to move their point streak to eight games today against the Kings -

Svechnikov - Aho - Jarvis
Hall - Stankoven - Blake
Ehlers - Staal - Martinook
Carrier - Jankowski - Kotkaniemi

Slavin - Chatfield
Miller - Walker
Gostisbehere - Nikishin

Bussi
February 1, 2026 at 7:58 PM
Expectedly, Brandon Bussi starts for the #Canes today against LA.

He'll look to continue his historic start, which includes him becoming the fastest goaltender in NHL history to 20 wins, doing so in just 24 games.
February 1, 2026 at 5:56 PM
Rod Brind'Amour was as direct as it gets, post-game.

"From the opening puck drop to the end, I don't think I've ever been a part of a 60-minute game where we were that bad... They dominated us from start to finish."

The Capitals win in overtime.

Justin Sourdif nets the winner.

4-3 is today's final.

Carolina's point streak moves to seven games. They're back home tomorrow afternoon against Los Angeles.
February 1, 2026 at 1:02 AM
Off to OT in D.C.

Carolina is 9-5 in overtime this season, while Washington is 4-7.
