Kochetkov will defend the road net Tuesday in preseason action versus Tampa Bay, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kochetkov compiled a 23-13-4 record with four shutouts, a 2.33 GAA and a .911 save percentage over 42 regular-season contests in 2023-24. Even if Frederik Andersen stays healthy this campaign, Kochetkov could push for plenty of starts. The talented duo may share time in the crease in 2024-25.
