SPENCER MARTIN NEWS

Sent down to minors Martin was reassigned to AHL Chicago on Wednesday.

Impact Martin effectively cost himself the backup job in Carolina after going 2-3-1 with a 4.38 GAA and .825 save percentage in his last six outings. Even with Pyotr Kochetkov now healthy after suffering a concussion, the Canes were concerned enough about Martin's play that they signed journeyman backstop Dustin Tokarski to an NHL deal Monday and brought him up to the NHL in favor of Martin on Wednesday.

Chased from net after two periods Martin allowed five goals on 28 shots in two periods of action Saturday of a 6-0 loss to Florida.

Impact The Hurricanes didn't show up Saturday for themselves or Martin, who has basically allowed 10 goals to the Panthers in less than 24 hours. Martin and the Canes were clawed Friday night in a 6-3 loss, too. At this point, we can't recommend Martin, and we can't help but think that the Canes braintrust has to be searching for veteran options to help in net given his play and injuries to both Frederik Andersen (knee) and Pyotr Kochetkov (concussion).

Going back-to-back Martin will protect the road goal in Florida on Saturday, George Richards of Florida Hockey Now reports.

Impact Martin will play both ends of a back-to-back series with the Panthers as he allowed five goals on 29 shots Friday in a 6-3 loss. Martin is 3-3-1 with a 3.62 GAA and an .850 save percentage this season. The 29-year-old will be backed up by Yaniv Perets as Frederik Andersen (knee surgery) and Pyotr Kochetkov (concussion) are out of action.

Blitzed by Florida in defeat Martin conceded five goals on 29 shots in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Panthers. The sixth marker was an empty-netter.

Impact Martin was attempting to win his third straight game Friday, but Florida struck for three third-period goals to defeat Carolina on home ice. The Ontario native is Carolina's de facto No. 1 netminder at the moment, as Frederik Andersen (knee) and Pyotr Kochetkov (concussion) are working their way back to full health. Martin is 3-3-1 with an .850 save percentage and a 3.62 GAA through eight appearances.

Facing Panthers Martin will be between the home pipes versus Florida on Friday, according to Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.

Impact Martin will make his third straight start as Frederik Andersen (knee surgery) and Pyotr Kochetkov (concussion) are out of action. Martin is 3-2-1 with a 3.33 GAA and an .856 save percentage in seven appearances this season. Yaniv Perets will back up Martin on Friday.

Second straight win Martin made 19 saves in a 4-3 win over the Rangers on Wednesday.

Impact The Canes played a full 60-minute game and staged a third-period comeback to earn the win. Martin earned his second consecutive win after taking over the starter's reins due to injuries to both Frederik Andersen (knee) and Pyotr Kochetkov (concussion). There have been rumors that the Canes might go out and trade for a veteran netminder to help Kochetkov this season, but Martin's recent efforts could quash that rumor fast. That is if he can start stopping a few more pucks. He's allowed seven snipes in those two straight wins.

Expected starter Wednesday Martin is set to start at home against the Rangers on Wednesday, per Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.

Impact Martin has a 2-2-1 record, 3.40 GAA and .854 save percentage in six appearances in 2024-25. He allowed four goals on 19 shots en route to a 6-4 victory over Dallas in his last start Monday. The Rangers have an impressive 12-7-1 record and rank 11th offensively with 3.35 goals per game, but they're on a three-game losing streak.

Bailed out by offense Monday Martin made 15 saves in Monday's 6-4 win over the Stars.

Impact Getting his first start since Pyotr Kochetkov (concussion) was injured, Martin didn't exactly do much to inspire confidence that he can handle the workload of a No. 1 goalie. Carolina was facing a 3-1 deficit heading into the third period before the offense erupted, and the 29-year-old netminder still gave up a tying tally to make it 4-4 with just over five minutes left before the Hurricanes put the game away. Martin is 2-2-1 in six appearances this season with a 3.40 GAA and .854 save percentage, and it wouldn't be a shock if Yaniv Perets got a look between the pipes Wednesday against the Rangers.

Expected to start Martin will patrol the home crease against Dallas on Monday, per Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.

Impact Martin has a 1-2-1 record with one shutout, a 3.21 GAA and an .870 save percentage through five appearances this season. He will occupy the No. 1 goalie role for the Hurricanes because of injuries to Frederik Andersen (knee) and Pytor Kochetkov (concussion). Yaniv Perets was recalled from AHL Chicago on Sunday to be the backup netminder. Dallas is tied for 11th in the league with 3.42 goals per game in 2024-25.

Impact Martin's outing was a short one, and Sean Monahan had the lone shootout tally to decide the game. Depending on the severity of Kochetkov's injury, Martin may be set for No. 1 duties in goal moving forward -- there was no update after the game. Martin is 1-2-1 with 10 goals allowed on 77 shots through five appearances this season, with his lone win being a shutout. The Hurricanes' next game is a tough one at home versus the Stars on Monday.

Concedes four goals Thursday Martin stopped 17 of 21 shots in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Devils.

Impact Martin made his third start of the season, and while that's a small sample size to draw conclusions, he's been all over the place. He recorded a 24-save shutout win over the Senators on Nov. 16, but he gave up at least four goals in the other two starts. Through four total appearances, as he also worked in relief against Utah on Nov. 13, he's gone 1-2-0 with a 3.25 GAA and an .868 save percentage.

Set to guard road net Martin is expected to start on the road against the Devils on Thursday, per Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.

Impact Martin has a 1-1-0 record, 2.79 GAA and .891 save percentage in three outings in 2024-25. He posted a 24-save shutout over Ottawa in his last start Saturday. The Devils rank eighth offensively with 3.43 goals per game, so they are likely to be a challenging adversary.

Earns first career shutout Martin posted a 25-save shutout in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Senators.

Impact The Hurricanes were able to score in each period and Martin did his part to quiet a tough offense. This was Martin's first career shutout as well as his first win over three appearances in 2024-25. He's now allowed six goals on 56 shots while going 1-1-0. It's unclear if Pyotr Kochetkov (undisclosed) will be ready to play Sunday versus the Blues -- if not, Martin could go back-to-back or Yaniv Perets could be in line for his second career appearance.

Slated to start Martin is expected to patrol the home crease Saturday against Ottawa, per Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.

Impact Martin will make his second NHL start in 2024-25 because Frederik Andersen (lower body) and Pyotr Kochetkov (undisclosed) are both unavailable. The 29-year-old Martin has stopped 25 of 31 shots in two appearances with the Hurricanes this season, including a relief outing against Utah on Wednesday after Kochetkov sustained an injury. Ottawa sits 11th in the league this campaign with 3.44 goals per game.
