Kochetkov allowed one goal on 23 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Kochetkov played a strong game, earning his third win in his last four outings. The 25-year-old netminder gave up the lone tally to Thomas Harley in the third period, but the Hurricanes regained the lead just 24 seconds later on a deflected goal. Kochetkov improved to 18-9-2 with a 2.47 GAA and a .904 save percentage over 30 appearances. If the Hurricanes continue to alternate goalie starts, Frederik Andersen would play Thursday at home versus the Blue Jackets and Kochetkov's next outing would be Saturday on the road against the Islanders.

Kochetkov will start on the road against the Stars on Tuesday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kochetkov stopped 29 of 31 shots in a win over the Golden Knights on Friday. He has gone 3-2-1 with a 2.51 GAA and a .911 save percentage over six games in January. It appears the Hurricanes are alternating between Kochetkov and Frederik Andersen now, so the extra rest may help Kochetkov put in good performances on a more consistent basis.

Kochetkov stopped 29 of 31 shots in Friday's 3-2 win over the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Vegas scored the first and last goals of the game, but the Hurricanes had the three tallies in between to give Kochetkov enough support for the win. The 25-year-old has won just three of his last eight starts while giving up 22 goals in that span, and his margin of error is thinner now that Frederik Andersen (knee) is back from a nearly three-month absence. Kochetkov is up to 17-9-2 with a 2.52 GAA and a .902 save percentage through 29 starts this season, but he may get stuck in a 50-50 timeshare moving forward.

Kochetkov is slated to start in Friday's home tilt against Vegas.
EDGE Analysis
Kochetkov has allowed three goals in each of his past four appearances while posting a 1-2-1 record and an .893 save percentage in that span. He's 16-9-2 with a 2.54 GAA and a .901 save percentage in 28 outings overall. Frederik Andersen (knee) was activated off injured reserve and is expected to serve as the backup netminder. Beyond that, Andersen's return will likely result in Kochetkov's workload diminishing meaningfully. A strong showing against Vegas might help Kochetkov stave that off for at least a little longer, but the Golden Knights rank fourth in goals per game with 3.41, so they're a challenging adversary.

Kochetkov stopped 17 of 20 shots in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Kochetkov hasn't been playing at his best of late, winning just one of his previous four starts, although the record doesn't tell the whole story here. He's recorded a save percentage of at least .880 in three of his last four outings despite going 1-2-1 with a 3.01 GAA in that span.

Kochetkov will protect the home net versus Anaheim on Sunday, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kochetkov is coming off a 30-save effort in Thursday's 6-3 win over Toronto. He has a 16-9-1 record with one shutout, a 2.52 GAA and a .902 save percentage through 27 appearances this season. Anaheim sits 31st in the league with 2.45 goals per game in 2024-25 and lost 6-0 against Philadelphia on Saturday.

Kochetkov made 30 saves in a 6-3 win over the Maple Leafs on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Auston Matthews, William Nylander and Nicholas Robertson beat him, but he then made some huge saves in the third to preserve the lead and get the win. Kochetkov has won just twice in his last six starts (2-3-1), and his overall stats (16=9-1, 2.52, .902) continue to fuel rumors the Canes will go shopping for net insurance before the deadline. If so, Kochetchov's value could take hit.

Kochetkov is expected to start in Thursday's home tilt against Toronto, according to Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal.
EDGE Analysis
Kochetkov has a 15-9-1 record, 2.50 GAA and .902 save percentage in 26 outings in 2024-25. He's struggled recently, allowing 14 goals on 136 shots (.897 save percentage) while earning just one win across his past five starts. The Maple Leafs rank 12th in goals per game with 3.14.

Kotchetkov made 31 saves in a 3-2 loss to Tampa Bay on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
This was a heartbreaker -- Brayden Point drove a stake through the Canes' heart with the game-winner with 52 seconds left in the third. Kochetkov has just one win since the holiday break (1-3-1), and there are plenty of murmurs around the league that the Canes will go shopping for a netminding upgrade/insurance. Depending on that outcome, Kochetkov's yo-yo value of late could end up flattening. Insulate your team if you can.
