Pyotr Kochetkov - NHL News & Rumors

Patrolling crease versus Bruins Kochetkov will tend the twine at home against Boston on Thursday, Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal reports.

Impact Kochetkov will make consecutive starts for the first time this season after Frederik Andersen (lower body) was deemed week-to-week. Looking ahead, the 25-year-old Kochetkov figures to carry the load for the Canes while Spencer Martin serves as the No. 2 option. In his four outings this year, Kochetkov is 3-1-0 with a 2.76 GAA and .894 save percentage.

Earns OT win Monday Kochetkov stopped 24 of 27 shots in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over the Canucks.

Impact Kochetkov looked en route to securing an easy win, but things got complicated after he allowed two goals in the third period. Fortunately for him, Sebastian Aho scored the game-winning goal just 43 seconds into overtime, allowing the 25-year-old netminder to secure his third win of the campaign. The Hurricanes have been rotating between the pipes this season, but Kochetkov has been decent when called upon duty. He's gone 3-1-0 with a 2.76 GAA and a .895 save percentage in four appearances, although both figures would be career-worst marks for him if sustained over the course of a full season.

Set to start against Vancouver Kochetkov is slated to serve as the starting goaltender for Monday's road game against Vancouver, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

Impact Kochetkov will start for the fourth time over the Hurricanes' first eight games of the season. Across his previous three starts, he's logged a 2-1-0 record, 2.07 GAA and .896 save percentage. Frederik Andersen (undisclosed) is considered day-to-day, and even though Spencer Martin was called up Monday, Kochetkov could see a slight increase in playing time if Andersen is forced to miss multiple games.

Bounces back Thursday Kochetkov stopped 30 of 32 shots in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Flames. He also recorded an assist in Eric Robinson's empty-net goal.

Impact Kochetkov has been alternating with Frederik Andersen between the pipes, but the 25-year-old Russian netminder has been solid, all things considered. Even though he was woeful in the 4-3 loss to the Blues on Oct. 19, he's posted a save percentage above the .920 mark in his other two outings. He's gone 2-1-0 with a 2.70 GAA and a .896 save percentage across three starts, but his upside will remain limited as long as he continues to share the workload with Andersen, with the possibility of Kochetkov taking over as the full-time starter being slim at the moment.

First goalie off Thursday Kochetkov was the first goalie to leave the ice Thursday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports, indicating he'll tend the twine on the road versus the Flames.

Impact Kochetkov and veteran Frederik Andersen have been going every other game to open the season, with the 25-year-old Kochetkov posting a 1-1-0 record and .867 save percentage in two games. If he continues to perform at a subpar level, Kochetkov could find himself watching from the bench as the No. 2 option more often.

Subpar outing Saturday Kochetkov stopped 15 of 19 shots in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Blues.

Impact Kochetkov was coming off a solid win in his season debut against the Devils on Oct. 15, but he didn't have his best outing against the Blues and posted a mere .789 save percentage. The Hurricanes have been rotating goalies early in this campaign, so Frederik Andersen has a solid chance to return to the crease for Tuesday's road matchup at Edmonton.

Starting Saturday Kochetkov will protect the road goal versus the Blues on Saturday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

Impact Kochetkov won his season debut, stopping 24 of 26 shots versus the Devils on Tuesday. The 25-year-old netminder has alternated starts with Frederik Andersen so far, and that arrangement could continue if both goalies play well. The Blues have scored just 13 goals over five contests, so Kochetkov has a somewhat favorable matchup.

OCTOBER 19 • ROTOWIRE

Sharp in season debut Kochetkov made 23 saves in his season debut in a 4-2 win over New Jersey on Tuesday.

Impact He was sharp. Jack Hughes beat him with a perfect low wrist shot off the rush early in the second period. And Nico Hischier roofed the puck at 15:16 of the third on a five-on-three power power play. Don't be surprised to see Kochetkov move into the starter's seat this season and perhaps never relinquish it. Frederik Andersen is talented, but so injury prone. And Kochetkov proved he was more than capable to start last season.

Tending twine Tuesday Kochetkov will defend the home cage against the Devils on Tuesday, Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal reports,

Impact Kochetkov will make his 2024-25 season debut after Frederik Andersen took the opener against the Lightning on Friday. Last season, the 25-year-old Kochetkov went 23-13-4 with a 2.33 GAA and four shutouts in 42 regular-season outings. If he can live up to those numbers this year, Kochetkov could play his way into a split share with Andersen.

OCTOBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Sharp in Friday's win Kochetkov made 16 saves on 17 shots in Friday's 2-1 overtime exhibition win against Tampa Bay.

Impact Kochetkov has played well in two preseason contests to this point, turning aside 38 of 40 shots. The 25-year-old could push for the No. 1 netminding gig with the Hurricanes this year, especially given Frederik Andersen's age and recent injury history, though the latter has performed admirably when healthy. Kochetkov will look to build off his strong season in 2023-24 -- he sported a record of 23-13-4 with a .911 save percentage and a 2.33 GAA in 42 regular-season appearances.

OCTOBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Friday Kochetkov will guard the home goal versus the Lightning on Friday, Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal reports.

Impact Kochetkov has made just one other appearance, stopping 22 of 23 shots versus the Lightning on Sept. 24. The 25-year-old Kochetkov will challenge Frederik Andersen for playing time behind a strong Hurricanes team this season.

OCTOBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Facing Lightning Kochetkov will defend the road net Tuesday in preseason action versus Tampa Bay, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

Impact Kochetkov compiled a 23-13-4 record with four shutouts, a 2.33 GAA and a .911 save percentage over 42 regular-season contests in 2023-24. Even if Frederik Andersen stays healthy this campaign, Kochetkov could push for plenty of starts. The talented duo may share time in the crease in 2024-25.

Falls in overtime Kochetkov allowed three goals on 25 shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Rangers in Game 3.

Impact Making his first appearance of the postseason, Kochetkov held the Rangers off the board in the first period. However, New York would answer with goals in the second and third before Artemi Panarin tallied the game-winner in overtime. The 24-year-old Kochetkov served as Carolina's primary starting option while Frederik Andersen was unavailable for much of the regular season -- he went 23-13-4 with a .911 save percentage. Andersen will likely be back in net Saturday for Game 4.

In goal for Game 3 Kochetkov will get the starting nod at home versus the Rangers in Game 3 on Thursday, Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal reports.

Impact Kochetkov will make his first appearance in goal for the Canes since April 14 against the Blackhawks, a stretch of eight games on the bench. While the team did split the workload between the 24-year-old backstop and Frederik Andersen down the stretch, if Kochetkov does secure a Game 3 win, he should probably be considered a lock to start Game 4 as well.

MAY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Extends winning streak Kochetkov stopped 14 of 16 shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Kochetkov won his fourth straight start, though this wasn't the prettiest of performances for the 24-year-old. He's allowed five goals on 81 shots during the winning streak. Kochetkov improved to 23-13-4 with a 2.33 GAA and a .911 save percentage through 42 appearances this season. He's started every other game since late February, so it's likely Frederik Andersen will get the nod versus the Blue Jackets on Tuesday in the Hurricanes' regular-season finale.

APRIL 15 • ROTOWIRE

Guarding cage Sunday Kochetkov will get the starting nod in Chicago on Sunday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

Impact Kochetkov and Frederik Andersen continue to split reps evenly down the stretch as Carolina gears up for the postseason. During his three-game winning streak, Kochetkov has allowed just three goals on 65 shots. He's now 22-13-4 with a strong 2.34 GAA and .911 save percentage through 41 games.

APRIL 14 • ROTOWIRE

Wins third straight Kochetkov made 22 saves in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Bruins.

Impact Charlie McAvoy spoiled his shutout bid late in the second period, but it was still an impressive effort from the 24-year-old netminder. He's thriving in a timeshare with Frederik Andersen -- Kochetkov has won three straight starts and has only one regulation loss in his last seven, going 5-1-1 with a 2.26 GAA and .912 save percentage as the Hurricanes try to catch the Rangers for the top seed in the Eastern Conference.
