Kochetkov stopped 35 shots in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

Carolina got out-shot 36-18 on the night -- the biggest volume Kochetkov has faced so far in 2024-25 -- but the 25-year-old netminder made sure the result was never in doubt and took a shutout into the third period, only for Blake Lizotte to spoil it. The Hurricanes have won eight straight games and Kochetkov has been between the pipes for six of them, posting a 2.33 GAA and .905 save percentage over that stretch.

Kochetkov is slated to tend the twine at home against Pittsburgh on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Kochetkov will make his fifth consecutive appearance in the crease and is riding a five-game winning streak in which he posted a 2.59 GAA and .883 save percentage. As long as Frederik Andersen (lower body) remains on the shelf, the 25-year-old Kochetkov should continue to see the majority of the starts -- especially considering the Canes don't have a back-to-back on the schedule until they face the Senators and Blues on Nov. 16 and 17, respectively.

Kochetkov made 12 saves in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

It was far from a sharp performance from Kochetkov, who likely wants another crack at Travis Konecny's third-period tally that tied the score at 4-4, but the Carolina offense came out on top in the end. Kochetkov has started four straight games, winning all four with a 2.74 GAA but an .861 save percentage, and he might be due for a breather Thursday at home against the Penguins. With Frederik Andersen (lower body) still sidelined, Spencer Martin could see his first action of the season instead.

Kochetkov will draw the home start in Tuesday's divisional tilt against the Flyers, per Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.

EDGE Analysis

Kochetkov has won four consecutive outings, and he's allowed more than two goals in a game just once during that span. The Hurricanes have done a great job of limiting scoring opportunities in front of him -- Kochetkov has faced more than 30 shots once this season through six appearances. Overall, Kochetkov is up to a 5-1-0 record with an .893 save percentage and a 2.51 GAA.

Kochetkov turned aside 19 of 21 shots in Sunday's 4-2 victory over the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

Kochetkov had a light workload in Sunday's win as a result of Carolina outshooting Washington by a count of 45 to 21. The 25-year-old netminder is riding a four-game win streak, and he's allowed exactly two goals in three of those contests. Kochetkov has posted a 5-1-0 record, .893 save percentage and 2.51 GAA across six appearances.

Kochetkov will protect the home net Sunday against Washington, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kochetkov has won his past three outings, stopping 67 of 74 shots. He has a 4-1-0 record with a 2.61 GAA and an .891 save percentage through five appearances this season. Washington ranks third in the league with 4.40 goals per game in 2024-25.

Kochetkov made 13 saves in Thursday's 8-2 rout of the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

The ice was tilted all night, and Kochetkov faced exactly five shots in each period while Carolina's offense went wild. The 25-year-old netminder should see a heavy workload while Frederik Andersen (lower body) is sidelined, but Kochetkov's value in fantasy formats that reward bulk saves could be muted even in a starting role due to the Hurricanes' suffocating defense -- he's 4-1-0 to begin the season with a 2.61 GAA in five appearances, but he has just an .891 save percentage and has faced fewer than 20 shots in two of those outings.

Kochetkov will tend the twine at home against Boston on Thursday, Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kochetkov will make consecutive starts for the first time this season after Frederik Andersen (lower body) was deemed week-to-week. Looking ahead, the 25-year-old Kochetkov figures to carry the load for the Canes while Spencer Martin serves as the No. 2 option. In his four outings this year, Kochetkov is 3-1-0 with a 2.76 GAA and .894 save percentage.

Kochetkov stopped 24 of 27 shots in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Kochetkov looked en route to securing an easy win, but things got complicated after he allowed two goals in the third period. Fortunately for him, Sebastian Aho scored the game-winning goal just 43 seconds into overtime, allowing the 25-year-old netminder to secure his third win of the campaign. The Hurricanes have been rotating between the pipes this season. Although Kochetkov is 3-1-0 through four appearances, his 2.76 GAA and .895 save percentage would be career-worst marks for him if sustained over the course of a full season.

Kochetkov is slated to serve as the starting goaltender for Monday's road game against Vancouver, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kochetkov will start for the fourth time over the Hurricanes' first eight games of the season. Across his previous three starts, he's logged a 2-1-0 record, 2.70 GAA and .896 save percentage. Frederik Andersen (lower body) is considered day-to-day, and even though Spencer Martin was called up Monday, Kochetkov could see a slight increase in playing time if Andersen is forced to miss multiple games.
