Bruins Sign Goaltender Brandon Bussi To Entry-Level Contract
BOSTON (CBS) -- The Bruins have made an addition to their organizational depth in net, signing goaltender Brandon Bussi to an entry-level contract for the 2022-23 season.
Bussi will spend the remainder of the current season on an amateur tryout with the Providence Bruins in the AHL.
The 23-year-old Bussi played collegiately at Western Michigan University, where he recently helped the Broncos win their first-ever game in the NCAA tournament. Bussi made 30 saves in that OT win over Northeastern.
Just called his games in NCAA Tournament. Big kid, big heart from Long Island. Played well. Catches with right hand. Approachable and friendly kid. Has room for some technical improvement but he battles. https://t.co/viWS34ryvM
