Kochetkov will guard the road cage during Saturday's matchup with the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Kochetkov will be making his NHL debut Saturday. The 22-year-old netminder was excellent for Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod of the KHL this season before joining the Huricanes' AHL affiliate in February, going 10-10-2 while posting an admirable 2.23 GAA and .926 save percentage. He'll try to secure his first career NHL victory in a road matchup with a New Jersey team that's 16-18-4 at home this year.

Kochetkov was recalled from AHL Chicago on an emergency basis Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Carolina's top goaltender, Frederik Andersen, left Saturday's game with an undisclosed injury, so the Hurricanes brought up Kochetkov to add another netminder to the mix. Kochetkov will presumably back up Antti Raanta if Andersen misses any time, but he was just named the AHL Rookie of the Month for March and went 13-1-1 with Chicago, so the 22-year-old could get his first chance to show what he can do at the top level.
