Pyotr Kochetkov - Starting SaturdayPer Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal, Kochetkov will get the road start in Toronto on Saturday, according to coach Rod Brind'Amour.
ImpactKochetkov is 8-7-3 with a 2.65 GAA and an .898 save percentage after stopping 35 shots Wednesday in a 5-2 win over Nashville. Kochetkov has taken over as the No. 1 goaltender with the Hurricanes as Frederik Andersen has been out of action since Nov. 2 with a blood clotting issue. The Maple Leafs are tied for third in NHL scoring, averaging 3.53 goals per game.

Jake Allen - Guarding cage SaturdayAllen will tend the twine on the road against the Panthers on Saturday.
ImpactAllen will be making his fourth start in December, having gone 1-1-1 with a 2.99 GAA in his last three contests. The Habs continue to rotate through all three netminders with Samuel Montembeault taking the majority of the workload and likely facing the Lightning on Sunday. Without consistent starts, Allen won't offer more than mid-range fantasy value.
