Pyotr Kochetkov News

Over his last two games, Kochetkov has allowed six goals on 33 shots (.818 SV%) as the Hurricanes are in the middle of a season-worst four-game losing skid (0-4-0). Partly due to the Hurricanes' elite shot suppression and defensive style, no goalie has been able to put up elite numbers between the crease, as visible by Kochetkov's 3.12 GAA and .873 SV% in 12 games (4-6-1-). That said, the Hurricanes will need a strong performance from Kochetkov as he faces off against an Ottawa Senators team that has won three of their last four (3-1-0), outscoring their opposition 16-6.

Kochetkov will get an immediate chance to redeem himself after last night's disappointing start in Edmonton. Kochetkov allowed three goals on the first six shots he faced before being lifted in favour of Antti Raanta, who hardly fared any better in the 6-1 defeat. Kochetkov owns an unflattering .871 SV% to go along with a 4-5-1 record on the season. He'll be hoping to get back in the win column on Thursday with the Hurricanes being -125 favourites over the Flames.

Kochetkov will be back in goal for the Hurricanes on Wednesday after Antti Raanta got the call for Monday's game against the Jets. Kochetkov most recently stopped 20 of the 22 shots he faced enroute to a 6-2 victory over the Sabres on Saturday. He owns a 4-4-1 record and an .883 SV% on the season, and things won't get any easier for the young netminder on Wednesday as he's set to take on Connor McDavid and the Oilers.

Kochetkov has been tremendous lately and will start for the third straight game on Thursday as he searches for his third consecutive win. Kochetkov had a rough start to the season as he bounced back and forth between the AHL and NHL as the Hurricanes rotated three goaltenders but has found his footing since Frederik Andersen has been unable to play, recording a stellar .929 SV% in five appearances (3-1-0). The Hurricanes are -182 home favourites against a New York Islanders team that has lost two straight games and ranks third-worst in the league offensively (2.62 GF / GP).

Kochetkov will take the Hurricanes' crease for a second straight start after stopping 21 of 23 shots (.913 SV%) in a victory over Columbus last game. The 24-year-old has mostly struggled in 2023-24, with his 2-4-0 record, 2.91 GAA and .881 SV%. He heads to Philadelphia to take on the Flyers who have won six of their last eight games and are fifth in the NHL in shots per game (32.3).

Kochetkov will start his second consecutive game for the Hurricanes as the 24-year-old Russian netminder is reeling after a 22-save, 4-0 shutout victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday. Before his strong performance on Saturday, Kochetkov had lost all three appearances (0-3-0), allowing 11 goals on 67 shots (.836 SV%). The Hurricanes will hope to keep things rolling for Kochetkov on Wednesday as they are -248 home favourites against a Philadelphia Flyers team on a two-game winning streak.

With news that Frederik Andersen will be out indefinitely because of a blood clotting issue, the Hurricanes have recalled Kochetkov from the Syracuse Crunch of the AHL. Kochetkov recently had a great three-game stint in the AHL (3-0-0), posting a 1.63 GAA and .932 SV%, which starkly contrasts his poor 4.33 GAA and .836 SV% from an earlier three-game stint (0-3-0) with the Hurricanes. Antti Raanta will likely be the go-to option between the pipes while Andersen is away from the team. The Hurricanes also announced on Monday that veteran goalie Jaroslav Halak will be joining the team on a free-agent tryout.

Kochetkov has been reassigned to the Syracuse Crunch of the AHL after making appearances in three consecutive games for the Hurricanes. In those three games (0-3-0), Kotchetkov was unremarkable, as has been the entire Hurricanes roster to start the season, posting a 4.33 GAA and .836 SV%. The Hurricanes will turn back to the tandem of Frederik Andersen and Antti Raanta in between the pipes.

Kochetkov will be looking for a bounce-back performance after giving up six goals on only 28 shots in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Avalanche. Widely considered to be Carolina's goalie of the future, the 24-year-old netminder will need to find his game quickly if he's going to take advantage of Antti Raanta's slow start and the injury to Freddie Andersen (upper-body). He's not the safest start on the slate, but Kochetkov and the Hurricanes are still favoured (-130) to pick up a road victory over the Lightning tonight.

Kotchetkov was 1-0-0 with a .912 SV% and a 2.79 GAA with Syracuse (AHL) but has been recalled Wednesday to Carolina. The 24-year-old's promotion comes the night after Frederik Andersen left Carolina's game in the first period due to an injury. Kotchetkov returns to the big leagues, where he has a 15-7-5 record, a .908 SV% and a 2.43 GAA in 27 career NHL games played.

Kochetkov had a 12-7-5 record, 2.44 GAA and .909 SV% with the Hurricanes' during the regular season and has been recalled from Charlotte (AHL) Monday to be Carolina's third goaltender. The 23-year-old saw four games worth of action with the Hurricanes' in last year's playoffs, with a 1-2-0 record, 3.89 GAA and .869 SV%.

Kochetkov was 12-7-5 with a 2.44 GAA and .909 SV% with Carolina but has been assigned to Chicago (AHL) on Wednesday. The 23-year-old returns to Chicago, where he is .13-5-2 with a 2.39 GAA and .916 SV%.

Kochetkov stopped 41 of 44 shots (.932 SV%) to snap a two-game losing streak as he beat the Toronto Maple Leafs his previous time between the pipes. The 23-year-old rookie has been impressive when called upon this season, with his 12-6-5 record, 2.41 GAA and .911 SV%. He will take on the Tampa Bay Lightning, who have lost four straight after a 2-1 defeat to Boston last game.
