Top Pyotr Kochetkov News

  • Hurricanes' Pyotr Kochetkov: Sunk by Isles

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

    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, Carolina 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.

  • Hurricanes' Pyotr Kochetkov: Set to start Saturday

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

    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.

  • Hurricanes' Pyotr Kochetkov: Back in win column Thursday

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

    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 (.851 save percentage). 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.

  • Hurricanes' Pyotr Kochetkov: Set to face Colorado

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

    Kochetkov has a 10-3-0 record, 2.55 GAA and .900 save percentage across 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.

  • Hurricanes' Pyotr Kochetkov: Gives up four goals Tuesday

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

    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.

  • Hurricanes' Pyotr Kochetkov: 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.

    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 the Kraken, who have generated 70 goals through 25 contests.

  • Hurricanes' Pyotr Kochetkov: Returns to practice

    Kochetkov (concussion) returned to practice Monday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

    Kochetkov sustained a concussion against the Blue Jackets in overtime during a Nov. 23 matchup, and he's been sidelined since then. However, he appears to have cleared the league's concussion protocol and should be close to returning to game action. The Hurricanes will likely wait to see how he feels ahead of Tuesday's home game against the Kraken before determining his status, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him dress for that matchup, especially after Yaniv Perets was sent down Monday. Head coach Rod Brind'Amour said after Monday's practice session that Kochetkov is a possibility for Tuesday, but he has one more test to pass before he's given the green light, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.

  • Hurricanes' Pyotr Kochetkov: Doubtful for Saturday

    Kochetkov (concussion) is considered doubtful to play Saturday versus the Panthers, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

    Head coach Rod Brind'Amour said he'd like Kochetkov to get a practice in before returning. Brind'Amour did not declare a starter for Saturday -- his options are Spencer Martin, who took a 6-3 loss Friday versus the Panthers, or Yaniv Perets if Kochetkov doesn't play.

  • Hurricanes' Pyotr Kochetkov: Might be available for Saturday

    Kochetkov (concussion) isn't expected to play Friday, but he's feeling good and might return for Saturday's road game against the Panthers, per Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.

    Kochetkov has a 10-2-0 record, 2.43 GAA and .904 save percentage in 13 outings in 2024-25. Spencer Martin is set to start Friday while Yaniv Perets is expected to serve as the understudy. When Kochetkov is healthy, he will likely act as the Hurricanes' No. 1 goaltender, which will push Martin into the backup role and probably result in Perets heading back to AHL Chicago.

  • Hurricanes' Pyotr Kochetkov: Officially out Wednesday

    Kochetkov (concussion) is considered day-to-day but won't be in the lineup versus the Rangers on Wednesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

    With Frederik Andersen (knee) also sidelined, the Canes will likely turn the crease over to Spencer Martin for Wednesday's matchup. Still, the fact that Kochetkov has been upgraded to day-to-day is a positive step forward and could be an indication he'll be ready to play in one end of the Canes' upcoming back-to-back against the Panthers on Friday and Saturday.

  • Hurricanes' Pyotr Kochetkov: In concussion protocol

    Kochetkov is out indefinitely after entering the NHL's concussion protocol, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports Monday.

    With Frederik Andersen (knee) already on the shelf, Kochetkov's concussion will force the Hurricanes to continue utilizing Spencer Martin between the pipes. With a back-to-back upcoming, Carolina may even have to deploy Yaniv Perets versus the Panthers either Friday or Saturday. The 25-year-Kochetkov was putting together a strong campaign prior to getting hurt, posting a 10-2-0 record, 2.43 GAA and .904 save percentage over 13 appearances.

  • Hurricanes' Pyotr Kochetkov: Injured in overtime

    Kochetkov (upper body) sustained an injury during overtime versus the Blue Jackets on Saturday, and there was no update on his status after the contest, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

    Kochetkov looked to take a blow to the head, per Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal reports. Prior to the injury, Kochetkov allowed four goals on 31 shots. With the Hurricanes already missing Frederik Andersen (knee) into late January in a best-case scenario, this could develop into a crease crisis for the team. Spencer Martin is likely to take over as the starter during Kochetkov's absence, and Yaniv Perets would be in line for a call-up, but it wouldn't be surprising for Carolina to attempt to make a trade if there's bad news about Kochetkov's recovery timeline.

  • Hurricanes' Pyotr Kochetkov: Set to start Saturday

    Kochetkov was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports, indicating he will guard the road goal Saturday versus Columbus.

    Kochetkov has won his last two starts, stopping 47 of 49 shots. He has a 10-2-0 record with a 2.30 GAA and a .907 save percentage across 12 appearances this campaign. Columbus ranks 10th in the league with 3.42 goals per game in 2024-25.

  • Hurricanes' Pyotr Kochetkov: Not busy in Philly

    Kochetkov turned aside 18 shots in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Flyers.

    A goal by Ryan Poehling through a partial screen early in the second period scuttled any thoughts of a shutout, but Kochetkov otherwise had no trouble shutting down the Philly offense. The 25-year-old netminder has gone 8-1-0 in nine starts since Frederik Andersen (lower body) landed on the shelf with a 2.16 GAA and .911 save percentage. Andersen still has no timeline for his return, so Kochetkov should maintain a firm hold on the No. 1 job for the Hurricanes.

  • Hurricanes' Pyotr Kochetkov: Set to guard road goal

    Kochetkov is expected to start on the road against Philadelphia on Wednesday, according to Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.

    Kochetkov stopped 29 of 30 shots en route to a 4-1 win over St. Louis in his last start Sunday. He's 9-2-0 with a 2.42 GAA and a .904 save percentage in 11 outings this season. The Flyers rank 20th offensively with 2.79 goals per game.

  • Hurricanes' Pyotr Kochetkov: Back in win column

    Kochetkov turned aside 29 of 30 shots in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Blues.

    Kochetkov had a seven-game win streak snapped against Utah on Wednesday, but he got back on track Sunday against St. Louis. The 25-year-old has been one of the league's better netminders through the early portion of the campaign -- Kochetkov is tied for second in the NHL with nine wins. The Russian backstop is up to a 9-2-0 record, .904 save percentage and 2.42 GAA overall.

  • Hurricanes' Pyotr Kochetkov: Ready to go Sunday

    Kochetkov (undisclosed) will start at home Sunday against the Blues, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.

    Kochetkov was sidelined by an injury Saturday against Ottawa, but he's good to go ahead of Sunday's matchup with St. Louis. The 25-year-old netminder is 8-2-0 with an .897 save percentage this year while taking over as Carolina's top goaltender with Frederik Andersen (lower body) sidelined.

  • Hurricanes' Pyotr Kochetkov: In doubt for Saturday

    Kochetkov (undisclosed) may not be available against the Senators on Saturday, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.

    It's bad timing for the Hurricanes, as in addition to Kochetkov, they are already without Frederik Andersen (lower body). Even if Kochetkov is cleared to play, the team may opt to have him take the second game of the back-to-back versus the Blues on Sunday just to give him some more time to recover. If he can't go at all, the team will need to recall a backstop from the minors and could be forced to use Spencer Martin in both ends of the back-to-back.

  • Hurricanes' Pyotr Kochetkov: Exits in third period

    Kochetkov (undisclosed) exited Wednesday's game versus Utah in the third period, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

    Kochetkov appeared to be injured on Utah's second goal, but he stayed in a while longer. He allowed a total of three goals on 18 shots, and one more potential tally was overturned on a review. If Kochetkov is out beyond Wednesday's game, the Hurricanes will need to make a roster move, as Spencer Martin is the only other healthy goalie on the roster.

  • Hurricanes' Pyotr Kochetkov: Draws start Wednesday

    Kochetkov was the first goalie off Wednesday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports, indicating he'll start on the road against Utah.

    Kochetkov has been hot lately, picking up wins in each of his last seven starts while posting a 2.28 GAA and .911 save percentage during that time. He'll start in a second consecutive game Wednesday and has a favorable matchup against Utah, who has averaged just 2.73 goals per game this season.
