Hurricanes turn to Bussi for Game 4 of Stanley Cup Final; Kochetkov, not Andersen, is No. 2

The Carolina Hurricanes, trailing the Vegas Golden Knights 2-1 in the Stanley Cup Final, have named Brandon Bussi as their starting goaltender for Game 4 on June 10, 2026. Bussi replaced veteran Frederik Andersen — who had started all 16 previous postseason games — during Game 3's third period, a 5-4 double overtime loss, stopping 18 shots before allowing the game-winner on a bad-bounce deflection off his skate. Andersen is a healthy scratch, with Pyotr Kochetkov, who has not played since December, serving as the backup behind Bussi.
