Kochetkov will defend the cage against the Predators on the road Wednesday, Nick Kieser of Nashville Hockey Now reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kochetkov has lost three of his last four contests, posting a 1-1-2 record despite recording a solid 2.43 GAA over that stretch. While Antti Raanta has been recalled from the minors, the 24-year-old Kochetkov figures to continue to see the majority of the starts, at least until Frederik Andersen (illness) is cleared to return.
