Pyotr Kochetkov - NHL News & Rumors

Minimal offensive support in defeat Kochetkov conceded three goals on 22 shots in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Capitals.

Impact Kochetkov turned in a solid performance Friday in a goaltender duel against Charlie Lindgren, but the Hurricanes weren't able to muster up enough offensive support for their netminder. Kochetkov hasn't been able to get into a groove lately, as he's alternated wins and losses over seven appearances in December. The 25-year-old is sporting a 13-6-0 record, .900 save percentage and 2.51 GAA through 20 appearances. Carolina has had five different goaltenders make an appearance in 2024-25, but Kochetkov has been the only one to start in at least eight games.

Kochetkov has started six of Carolina's seven games to begin December, going 3-3-0 with a 2.58 GAA and .899 save percentage, and he'll be firmly entrenched at the top of the depth chart until Frederik Andersen (knee) is ready to return from knee surgery.

Receiving start Tuesday Kochetkov will guard the home goal versus the Islanders on Tuesday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

Impact Kochetkov has lost three of his last five games, giving up 15 goals in that span. The 25-year-old will catch a bit of a break Tuesday, as the Islanders are averaging just 2.63 goals per game this season.

On wrong side of shutout Kochetkov allowed two goals on 21 shots in Friday's 3-0 loss to the Senators. The third goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Kochetkov didn't get any help in this game, taking his third loss in five starts. The 25-year-old has allowed just two goals in each of the last two games, so he appears to be turning a corner in his performance, though the Hurricanes' offense hasn't been all that helpful lately with 13 goals scored over the last five contests. Kochetkov dropped to 12-5-0 with a 2.61 GAA and an .895 save percentage over 18 appearances. The Hurricanes' next game is Sunday versus the Blue Jackets.

Starting versus Senators Kochetkov will guard the home goal versus the Senators on Friday, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.

Impact Kochetkov will look to win consecutive games for the first time since Nov. 17 and 20. The 25-year-old has gone 2-2-0 with 13 goals allowed on 95 shots over his last four outings. The Senators have scored 21 goals over their last seven games, going 4-2-1 in that span.

Collects 12th win Kochetkov stopped 21 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Sharks.

Impact He gave up tallies to Luke Kunin in the first and second periods, but Kochetkov shut the door in the third as Carolina rallied from a one-goal deficit. The 25-year-old netminder has alternated wins and losses over four starts since returning from a concussion, and on the season he's 12-4-0 over 17 appearances with a 2.64 GAA and .894 save percentage. With Frederik Andersen (knee) not expected back until some time in February, Kochetkov should continue to see a heavy workload.

Set to start Tuesday Kochetkov will guard the home goal versus the Sharks on Tuesday, Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal reports.

Impact Kochetkov will get a favorable matchup after dropping two of his previous three outings. He allowed 11 goals on 72 shots in that span. The Sharks are averaging 2.73 goals per game this season.

Sunk by Isles Kochetkov stopped 21 shots in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Islanders.

Impact Three goals in the back half of the second period gave New York a 4-2 lead, and while the Hurricanes absolutely dominated the third by out-shooting the Isles 19-2, they couldn't find an equalizer. Kochetkov has lost two of three starts since returning from a concussion, giving up 11 goals on just 72 shots over that stretch, but with Frederik Andersen (knee) sidelined until late January at the earliest, the younger netminder has little competition for the top spot in the Carolina crease.

Set to start Saturday Kochetkov is expected to start on the road against the Islanders on Saturday, per Stefen Rosner of NHL.com.

Impact Kochetkov has an 11-3-0 record, 2.58 GAA and .897 save percentage across 15 appearances in 2024-25. He stopped just 16 of 19 shots in his last start Thursday, but the Hurricanes helped him out, leading to a 5-3 victory over Colorado. The Islanders rank 29th in goals per game with 2.48.

Back in win column Thursday Kochetkov made 16 saves in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Avalanche.

Impact Artturi Lehkonen opened the scoring midway through the first period, but the Hurricanes took control of the game in the middle frame and Kochetkov never relinquished the lead. It was the 25-year-old netminder's first win since Nov. 20, and in two starts since returning from a concussion, Kochetkov has given up seven goals on only 47 shots. With Frederik Andersen on the shelf after knee surgery and lacking a clear return date, Carolina may have to give the recently signed Dustin Tokarski more work than the team intended if Kochetkov doesn't regain his form quickly.

DECEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Set face Colorado Kochetkov is expected to start at home against Colorado on Thursday, per Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer.

Impact Kochetkov has a 10-3-0 record, 2.55 GAA and .900 save percentage in 14 outings in 2024-25. He missed four straight games due to a concussion but returned Tuesday, stopping 24 of 28 shots en route to a 4-2 loss to Seattle. The Avalanche are a difficult adversary, ranking 10th in goals per game with 3.27.

DECEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Gives up four goals Tuesday Kochetkov stopped 24 of 28 shots in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Kraken.

Impact Kochetkov was beaten just a few seconds into the first period, and he also gave up goals in the second and third frames, including two in a five-minute span when the game was tied 2-2 in the final stretch. This was the 25-year-old's first start since Nov. 20, when he secured a win over the Flyers, and his first loss since Nov. 13, when he gave up four goals against Utah in a 4-1 defeat. Kochetkov has made 14 appearances this season and owns a 10-3-0 record while posting a 2.55 GAA and a .900 save percentage.

DECEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Slated to start Tuesday Kochetkov (concussion) is expected to be in goal for Tuesday's home matchup against the Kraken, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

Impact Kochetkov has missed four consecutive games. He conceded four goals on 31 shots in a 5-4 loss to Columbus in his last start. The 25-year-old will face a Kraken team that's generated 70 goals through 25 contests.
