Cruises to win Saturday Kochetkov made 28 saves in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Rangers.

Impact The Hurricanes took their foot off the gas in the third period after building a 5-1 lead, but Kochetkov made sure the visitors never got too close. The 25-year-old is still having a sluggish end to the regular season, allowing at least three goals in six straight starts since a shutout over the Flyers on March 15, and over that stretch he's gone 2-4-0 with a 4.06 GAA and .830 save percentage.

Slated to start Kochetkov is expected to protect the home net against the Rangers on Saturday, according to Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.

Impact Kochetkov has one win in his last five outings (1-4-0), allowing 21 goals on 110 shots. He has a 26-15-3 record with two shutouts, a 2.58 GAA and an .897 save percentage across 45 appearances this season. The Rangers sit 12th in the league with 3.08 goals per game in 2024-25.

Gets no help in loss Kochetkov made 15 saves in Tuesday's 3-0 loss to the Sabres.

Impact After a scoreless first period, Tage Thompson ripped a puck past Kochetkov just 92 seconds into the second frame, and it was all the support James Reimer would need in the other crease. Kochetkov is stumbling toward the finish line on the regular season, going 1-4-0 over his last five starts with a 4.28 GAA and .809 save percentage, which may put Frederik Andersen in the driver's seat to be the Hurricanes' No. 1 goalie in the playoffs.

Expected starter in Buffalo Kochetkov is slated to tend the road twine Tuesday against the Sabres, per Heather Engel of NHL.com.

Impact Kochetkov has faltered of late, going 1-3-0 with a 4.61 GAA and an .804 save percentage over his last four starts, which comes on the heels of a five-game winning streak. It won't get any easier against a Buffalo team that has won four consecutive games and seven of its last eight. Kochetkov is 2-0-0 with a 2.00 GAA against the Sabres in his career.

Falters against Red Wings Kochetkov stopped 16 of 20 shots in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Red Wings. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Kochetkov has allowed 18 goals across his last four games, going 1-3-0 in that span. Just one of the team's he's faced in that span is currently in a playoff spot, so this is not a good look for Kochetkov. His defeat Friday sent him to 26-14-3 with a 2.57 GAA and an .899 save percentage over 44 starts this season. The Hurricanes will likely turn to Frederik Andersen for Saturday's game in Boston, while Kochetkov's next turn in the goalie rotation would be Tuesday in Buffalo.

Between pipes Friday Kochetkov will defend the visiting cage in Detroit on Friday.

Impact Kochetov picked up his first victory in three starts Sunday, turning aside 27 shots in a 6-4 win over the Islanders. Kochetkov is 26-13-3 with a pair of shutouts, a 2.54 GAA and a .900 save percentage across 43 appearances this season. He is alternating starts with Frederik Andersen and it remains to be seen if this arrangement will continue in the playoffs. The Red Wings are generating 2.81 goals per games in 2024-25, 21st in the NHL.

Gives up four goals in win Kochetkov allowed four goals on 31 shots in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Islanders.

Impact Kochetkov ended a two-game slide, but it wasn't a confident performance. He's given up 14 goals over his last three games after allowing just six tallies during the five-game win streak that preceded this stretch. For the season, Kochetkov is up to 26-13-3 with a 2.54 GAA and a .900 save percentage over a career-high 43 games. If the Hurricanes continue to alternate between Kochetkov and Frederik Andersen, Kochetkov will dodge Wednesday's matchup versus the Capitals and instead play Friday on the road against the Red Wings.

Guarding goal Sunday Kochetkov will protect the home net against the Islanders on Sunday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

Impact Kochetkov has lost his last two outings, surrendering 10 goals on 41 shots. He has a 25-13-3 record with two shutouts, a 2.50 GAA and a .901 save percentage through 42 appearances this season. The Islanders dropped a 5-3 decision to Tampa Bay on Saturday.

Handed second straight loss Kochetkov made 13 saves in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Predators.

Impact He wasn't busy, and Kochetkov also didn't look sharp on Nashville's opening goal -- he lost the puck on a rebound and let it trickle behind him early in the first period when he thought he had it pinned to his pad, leaving an easy tap-in for Michael Bunting. The 25-year-old netminder gave up seven goals in his prior start Saturday against the Kings, and while Carolina isn't likely to deviate from its strict timeshare in the crease between Frederik Andersen and Kochetkov, the latter is looking a little fatigued as he approaches a career-high workload.

Drawing favorable matchup Kochetkov will tend the home twine Tuesday versus the Predators.

Impact Kochetkov's five-game winning streak was snapped in Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Kings. That performance marked the first time this season that Kochetkov has surrendered more than four goals in a game. He's sporting a 25-12-3 record, 2.49 GAA and .902 save percentage through 41 appearances. Fantasy managers should feel confident that the Russian netminder will bounce back Tuesday against a Nashville club that sits last in the NHL with 2.54 goals per game in 2024-25.

Rough day in L.A. Kochetkov stopped 18 shots in Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Kings.

Impact The Carolina offense didn't wake up until late in the second period, at which point the 'Canes were already staring at a 6-0 deficit. Kochetkov had allowed just six goals while winning each of his prior five starts and hadn't given up more than four goals in an outing all season, so this performance can be written off as just one of those afternoons.
