He was especially strong on the penalty kill, stopping all six power-play shots and finishing the game with a .933 save percentage. With a recent shutout under his belt, Kochetkov is trending upwards and should continue to see the lion's share of starts for Carolina.

Falls to Dallas Kochetkov allowed two goals on 16 shots in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Stars.
Impact It wasn't the busiest outing for Kochetkov, but a Jason Robertson goal late in the first period and Wyatt Johnston's tally midway through the second would prove to be enough to stick the 24-year-old netminder with the loss. Kochetkov had been sharp coming into Saturday's contests, going 3-1-0 with a pair of shutouts and a .970 save percentage in his previous four outings. He's now 15-10-3 on the season with a .910 save percentage and 2.36 GAA.

Making home start Kochetkov will defend the blue paint during Thursday's home game versus Florida, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.
Impact Kochetkov was excellent in his last appearance Friday against Arizona, stopping 30 of 31 shots en route to a 5-1 road victory. He'll try to pick up a second straight win in a brutal home matchup with a scorching-hot Panthers team that's won nine of its last 10 games and six straight.
FEBRUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE
Makes 30 saves in win Kochetkov stopped 30 of 31 shots in Friday's 5-1 win over the Coyotes.

He's played in all five games since the All-Star break, allowing nine goals while going 3-2-0 with a shutout in that span. The 24-year-old is up to 14-9-3 with a 2.46 GAA and a .905 save percentage through 28 appearances this season.

Makes 34 saves in shutout Kochetkov recorded a 34-save shutout in Saturday's 1-0 overtime win over the Devils.
Impact Since being recalled from the AHL on Feb 4, Kochetkov has started three straight games and the Hurricanes were rewarded with this decision. Participating in a classic goaltending battle with Vitek Vanecek, Kochetkov turned aside all 34 shots fired at him, including eight on the power play and two in overtime. The most impressive saves were first on a Nico Hischier power-play chance when he was in front all alone and then in overtime on a Tyler Toffoli breakaway that he calmly kicked into the corner. With this effort, Kochetkov is looking to convince the big club to keep him on board for the remainder of the season.

Picks up win after getting hook Kochetkov stopped 16 of 18 shots in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche.
Impact The 24-year-old netminder made his second straight start following his return from a concussion, but after Kochetkov gave up two goals in five seconds right before the first intermission, coach Rob Brind'Amour elected to turn to Antti Raanta to begin the second period. Raanta suffered a lower-body injury and wasn't able to return for the final frame, however, putting Kochetkov back between the pipes. To his credit he did play better upon his return, turning aside all 10 shots he saw in the final 20 minutes. Kochetkov was already the Hurricanes' first choice in net, but if Raanta's injury proves to be serious, he could be poised for a very heavy workload.

Tending twine Thursday Kochetkov will defend the cage at home versus the Avalanche on Thursday, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.
Impact Kochetkov will look to bounce back from a disappointing return from the minors against the Canucks in which he gave up three goals on 19 shots on Tuesday. If he continues to struggle, the netminder could find himself watching Antti Raanta from the bench, or even back in the minors if Frederik Andersen is cleared to return this season.
FEBRUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE
Falls to Canucks in return Kochetkov turned aside 16 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to Vancouver.
Impact Out since Jan. 11 due to a concussion, Kochetkov wasn't too busy in his return but also had little chance on any of the pucks that beat him -- two were tipped home by Elias Lindholm on power plays, while J.T. Miller's game-winner was set up when the puck took a bad bounce off a stanchion behind the Carolina net and caught the goalie out of position. Kochetkov had been looking good prior to getting hurt, and since the beginning of December he sports a 2.41 GAA and .909 save percentage over 15 outings with an 8-4-2 record. Antti Raanta also looked much improved in January however (2.06 GAA and .903 save percentage in eight appearances), and the duo could operate in a timeshare until Kochetkov shows he's fully shaken off any rust.

Guarding crease Tuesday Kochetkov will protect the home net Tuesday versus Vancouver, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

In 23 NHL appearances this season, he has provided a mark of 11-7-3 with one shutout, a 2.58 GAA and a .900 save percentage. The Canucks sit first in the league this campaign with 3.80 goals per contest.
