Kochetkov could be close to losing his grip on a timeshare with Frederik Andersen in the Carolina crease.

Starting in Toronto Kochetkov will be between the visiting pipes in Toronto on Saturday, according to Terry Koshan of The Toronto Sun.

Impact Kochetkov has given up only three goals on 49 shots in his last two starts. The 24-year-old netminder has been splitting the net of late with Frederik Andersen, settling into his role as a co-starter with the Danish goaltender. Kochetkov is 17-12-3 with a 2.35 GAA and a .911 save percentage this season. He is 1-0-0 against the Maple Leafs this season, giving up two goals on 27 shots in a 3-2 victory Dec. 30.

Comes up short in goaltending duel Kochetkov made 23 saves in Tuesday's 1-0 loss to the Rangers.

Impact Facing fellow Russian netminder Igor Shesterkin, Kochetkov rose to the occasion and was arguably the better goalie on the night. There was nothing he could do on the game-winner though, a wild shot from the side boards by Adam Fox late in the first period that deflected home off the skate of Brady Skjei. Kochetkov has moved into a timeshare with Frederik Andersen since the veteran's return, and he seems unlikely to relinquish that spot -- he's allowed two goals or less in five of his last six starts, going 3-3-0 with a 1.87 GAA and .936 save percentage.

Tending twine Tuesday Kochetkov will patrol the home crease Tuesday against the Rangers, per Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal.

Douses Devils on Saturday Kochetkov made 23 saves in Saturday's 4-2 win over New Jersey.

Impact The 24-year-old goalie needed a good response after Frederik Andersen made his return to the Carolina crease Thursday, and Kochetkov came through with an impressive performance. Over 10 outings since the All-Star break he's gone 6-4-0 with a .930 save percentage, but despite his strong play during that time, Kochetkov may have to settle for a timeshare with Andersen down the stretch.

MARCH 10 • ROTOWIRE

Facing Devils Kochetkov will be between the visiting pipes in New Jersey on Saturday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

Impact Kochetkov has been outstanding in his last eight games, as he is 5-3-0 with a 1.84 GAA and a sizzling .938 save percentage. Overall, the netminder is 16-11-3 on the season. He will face the Devils, who are averaging 3.32 goals, eighth in the NHL.

Late collapse against Winnipeg Kochetkov stopped 27 of 31 shots in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Jets, with Winnipeg's final goal coming into an empty net.

Impact The Hurricanes grabbed a 3-0 lead in the second period, but Kochetkov had the wheels come off in the third, beginning with a Kyle Connor shot from the blue line 96 seconds into the final frame. The 24-year-old netminder hadn't allowed more than three goals in an outing since Dec. 23, but with Frederik Andersen (illness) nearing his return to action, Kochetkov can't afford many slips if he wants to retain a significant role in the Carolina crease. On the season, he sports a 16-11-3 record with a 2.41 GAA and .910 save percentage.
