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 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.

Kochetkov stopped 30 of 32 shots in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Flames. He also recorded an assist in Eric Robinson's empty-net goal.
EDGE Analysis
Kochetkov has been alternating with Frederik Andersen between the pipes, but the 25-year-old Russian netminder has been solid, all things considered. Even though he was woeful in the 4-3 loss to the Blues on Saturday, he's posted a save percentage above the .920 mark in his other two outings. He's gone 2-1-0 with a 2.70 GAA and a .896 save percentage across three starts, but his upside will remain limited as long as he continues to share the workload with Andersen, with the possibility of Kochetkov taking over as the full-time starter being slim at the moment.

Kochetkov was the first goalie to leave the ice Thursday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports, indicating he'll tend the twine on the road versus the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Kochetkov and veteran Frederik Andersen have been going every other game to open the season, with the 25-year-old Kochetkov posting a 1-1-0 record and .867 save percentage in two games. If he continues to perform at a subpar level, Kochetkov could find himself watching from the bench as the No. 2 option more often.

Kochetkov stopped 15 of 19 shots in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Kochetkov was coming off a solid win in his season debut against the Devils on Oct. 15, but he didn't have his best outing against the Blues. The Hurricanes have been rotating goalies early in this campaign, so Frederik Andersen has a solid chance to return to the crease for Tuesday's road matchup at Edmonton.
