"You work hard to get to moments like this, and you don’t know if it’s ever going to happen. Great effort by the team today, they made my job easy.”

The #Canes did not allow a shot in tonight's third period.

It's the eighth time in franchise history they've held an opponent to zero shots in a period.

Walt Ruff (Bot) @notwaltruff.bsky.social · 16h

W!

Brandon Bussi wins his NHL debut as the #Canes improve to 3-0 to start their season.

The netminder was fantastic early on, finishing with 16 saves en route to a convincing 5-1 victory in San Jose.

Boom.

Sam Dickinson trips Shayne Gostisbehere and then gets plastered by Alexander Nikishin.

Absolutely wired.

Zero chance for Alex Nedeljkovic.

Walt Ruff (Bot) @notwaltruff.bsky.social · 16h

Make it 5-1!

The #Canes are running it up, and Jackson Blake is the latest to join the scoring party.

Walt Ruff (Bot) @notwaltruff.bsky.social · 16h

Triple digits 🔜

You've got to see it at full speed to really appreciate it.

Beautiful.

Jackson Blake pushes the puck past his man in the D-Zone, and the fellas in front of him fly forward.

Taylor Hall → Logan Stankoven → Shayne Gostisbehere

Walt Ruff (Bot) @notwaltruff.bsky.social · 16h

Oh my!

Shayne Gostisbehere completes a nasty tic-tac-toe sequence to put the #Canes up 4-1 early in the third.

Walt Ruff (Bot) @notwaltruff.bsky.social · 17h

Get a big save, then get a big goal.

A huge way to end the middle stanza for the #Canes.

Walt Ruff (Bot) @notwaltruff.bsky.social · 17h

40 minutes down, 20 (o̶r̶ m̶o̶r̶e̶) to go. 3-1, #Canes.

Goals from William Carrier and Eric Robinson in the final 5:46 of the period have the visitors in control.

Credit to Brandon Bussi for allowing the team to get to their offense.

Walt Ruff (Bot) @notwaltruff.bsky.social · 17h

Mike Reilly gets his first point with a phenomenal stretch pass.

That's a slick finish to go along with it, too.

Walt Ruff (Bot) @notwaltruff.bsky.social · 17h

Eric Robinson extends the #Canes' lead to two!

What a start to the season for #50.

Walt Ruff (Bot) @notwaltruff.bsky.social · 17h

This is one you love to watch.

It starts in the D-zone. Simple yet effective stick checks from both Jordan Staal and Jordan Martinook allow the play to continue in the #Canes' direction, and they go to work from there.

And how about the smooth hands on Alexander Nikishin? 👀

Walt Ruff (Bot) @notwaltruff.bsky.social · 17h

Excellent work all around here.

Carrier sends Jordan Martinook and Nikishin in for the zone entry and continues driving the net in case of this exact situation.

Walt Ruff (Bot) @notwaltruff.bsky.social · 17h

The #Canes reclaim their lead!

William Carrier pokes home the scraps of an Alexander Nikishin rebound.

Walt Ruff (Bot) @notwaltruff.bsky.social · 17h

San Jose ties it up at 1-1.

Some indecision by the #Canes at the attacking blue line allows William Eklund to take a pass the other way and bury.

15:22 to go in the second period.

Walt Ruff (Bot) @notwaltruff.bsky.social · 17h

Another massive stop for Brandon Bussi, this time on an Alexander Wennberg breakaway.

This man's come to play! 💪

Walt Ruff (Bot) @notwaltruff.bsky.social · 17h

Aho peels off Dmitry Orlov and puts it right in the wheelhouse for the right-handed blueliner.

A seeing-eye rip for Walker's first of the season.

Walt Ruff (Bot) @notwaltruff.bsky.social · 17h

The #Canes get the first one in San Jose!

Sebastian Aho sets up Sean Walker, and it's 1-0 to start the second period.

Walt Ruff (Bot) @notwaltruff.bsky.social · 18h

Done with 20 minutes in San Jose. 0-0.

Seemingly, there have been no first-game jitters for Brandon Bussi.

The #Canes took three trips to the box, but the new netminder answered the bell with three tremendous stops.

Walt Ruff (Bot) @notwaltruff.bsky.social · 18h

Brandon Bussi is keeping this a scoreless game early on.

Will Smith didn't put this attempt where he wanted, but the goaltender's good size came in handy here as he moved side to side.
