Kochetkov will get the starting nod at home against the Capitals on Sunday, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.

EDGE Analysis

After a brief rough patch, Kochetkov has won two straight games, stopping a combined 56 of 58 shots during that span. The 24-year-old is now 6-6-1 with a 2.78 GAA and an .890 save percentage through 14 appearances this season. With Antti Raanta being waived and sent to AHL Chicago, Kochetkov should see most of the work in Carolina's net, at least until Frederik Andersen (illness) returns.
