Brandon Bussi made 24 saves and didn't allow a shootout tally to continue his record-setting pace to begin an NHL career as the Carolina Hurricanes defeated the Philadelphia Flyers 3-2 on Sunday at Raleigh, N.C.
Andrei Svechnikov scored in the three-round shootout for the Hurricanes, who have won three games in a row via shootouts and pushed their winning streak to four games overall. Bussi has victories in 11 of his first 12 NHL games, extending by one win his league record.
William Carrier and Taylor Hall scored first-period goals for the Hurricanes, who also defeated the Flyers 4-3 in a shootout Saturday night in Philadelphia.
Jamie Drysdale scored for the Flyers with 53 seconds remaining in the first period and Trevor Zegras tied the game with 1:52 left in regulation with Philadelphia using an extra attacker. Dan Vladar stopped 31 shots.
The Flyers have notched at least one team point in seven of Vladar's last eight starts.
All three meetings between the teams this season have been settled after regulation. The Flyers had 15 third-period shots, none in overtime and 26 total.
Carolina's Seth Jarvis drew a penalty on Philadelphia's Bobby Brink for tripping 42 seconds into overtime, but the Hurricanes didn't take advantage.
Philadelphia didn't have a power play Saturday, but the Flyers were active in the second period with a man advantage. Yet Bussi made three saves during the first 70 seconds of the penalty kill before Drysdale took a hooking penalty that put the teams back to even strength for a stretch.
Philadelphia also had an abbreviated third-period power play that was reduced with Noah Cates being assessed a tripping penalty.
Vladar stopped the Hurricanes repeatedly when they appeared on the verge of expanding their lead. Carolina held a 23-11 edge in shots through two periods.
Carrier opened the scoring 5:44 into the game with a shot from high in the slot that made it through traffic.
Hall's power-play goal came on a redirection of defenseman Alexander Nikishin's delivery.
Drysdale's third goal of the season came on a delayed penalty.
