Kochetkov allowed four goals on 23 shots in Monday's 4-3 overtime loss to Winnipeg.

EDGE Analysis

Kochetkov struggled from the start Monday, allowing a first-period goal to Pierre-Luc Dubois. However, the Canes were able to overcome a late 3-0 deficit and force overtime before Josh Morrissey beat Kochetkov on a breakaway. The 23-year-old Kochetkov is now 2-0-2 on the season, dropping his last two starts in overtime, with a .914 save percentage. He'll continue to back up Antti Raanta while Frederik Andersen (lower body) remains sidelined.

Kochetkov will get the starting nod in Winnipeg on Monday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kochetkov has been impressive in his limited NHL action this season. The rookie netminder has allowed just four goals on 70 shots through three starts, giving him a .943 save percentage alongside a 2-1-0 record. Monday will be his third consecutive road outing as he looks to bounce back from his first career loss.

Kochetkov allowed two goals on 21 shots in Saturday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Kochetkov had a 1-0 lead to protect for over 40 minutes, but he couldn't get it to the finish line. Sam Steel tied the game in the third period and Alex Goligoski won it for the win 1:12 into overtime. Despite the setback, Kochetkov has been effective through his three starts so far. He's allowed just four goals on 70 shots and posted a 2-0-1 record with one shutout. Antti Raanta has seen the more difficult matchups in a particularly tricky part of the schedule, but Kochetkov is showing that it's only economics that keeps him off the NHL roster when both Raanta and Frederik Andersen (undisclosed) are healthy.

Kocketkov will defend the road crease against Minnesota on Saturday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kochetkov has been outstanding in replacing the injured Frederik Andersen (lower body) on the Carolina roster, as he is 2-0-0 while giving up only two goals in 49 shots. He is coming off a 3-0 shutout win over Chicago on Monday and faces the Wild, who have lost two in a row and are scoring a modest 2.76 goals per game this season.

Kochetkov posted a 27-save shutout in Monday's 3-0 win over the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Kochetkov was playing just his fifth career regular-season game. He had an excellent outing and rode an early lead to his first shutout. The 23-year-old's only losses came in last year's postseason -- he's a perfect 5-0-0 to begin his regular-season career, including two wins this season. A tougher test awaits Thursday versus the Avalanche, though Kochetkov and Antti Raanta have been splitting starts evenly with Frederik Andersen (undisclosed) on the shelf.

Kochetkov was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports, indicating he will start Monday on the road versus Chicago.

EDGE Analysis

Kochetkov made 20 saves in a 7-2 win over Edmonton last Thursday during his season debut. He has been sharing starts with Antti Raanta because Frederik Andersen (lower body) has been unavailable.

Kochetkov made 20 saves in a 7-2 win over Edmonton on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

It was his season debut and coach Rod Brind'Amour was quick to commend him post game: "I really liked [Kochetkov's] game. He came in in a tough spot against a high-powered team and he made some huge saves. That's the difference in the game there early and we kind of settled in." Kochetkov competes hard and could be in line for a few more starts with Frederik Andersen out short-term with a lower-body injury.

Kochetkov is expected to guard the home net against Edmonton on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Kochetkov was called up by Carolina because Frederik Andersen (undisclosed) is unavailable. Antti Raanta started in Wednesday's 3-0 loss to Florida, so Kochetkov will get an opportunity to make his NHL season debut. He drew a tough assignment given that the Oilers have averaged 3.79 goals per game this season. Edmonton is missing one of their top forwards in Evander Kane (wrist), but they still have Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl. Kochetkov has a 3.00 GAA and .911 save percentage in five AHL games this season.

Kochetkov was called up from AHL Chicago on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports Frederik Andersen may have gotten injured at practice Tuesday, so Kochetkov was recalled as an insurance option. Ondrej Kase (concussion) was placed on injured reserve in a corresponding move. Kochetkov could play during this stint with the big club if Andersen is unable to suit up Wednesday versus the Panthers or Thursday versus the Oilers.

Kochetkov hit the waiver wire Wednesday to reassign him to the minors, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kochetkov stopped 26 of 29 shots in Tuesday's preseason clash with the Sabres but was a long shot to make the 23-man roster for Opening Night. Unless there is an injury to Frederick Andersen or Antti Raanta, Kochetkov shouldn't be expected to make his way back to the NHL any time soon.
