Starting at TD Garden Kochetkov will tend the twine Monday in Boston, per Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.

Impact Kochetkov enters Monday's game with a 3-0-0 record, 1.93 GAA and .908 save percentage over four appearances in 2025-26. The Bruins are one of the hottest teams in the NHL right now -- they're 8-2-0 in their last 10 games. Kochetkov has fared well against Boston in his career, posting a 3-0-1 record, .929 save percentage and 1.97 GAA across four regular-season outings.

Not great in overtime win Kochetkov allowed three goals on 17 shots in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over the Canucks.

Impact Kochetkov remains undefeated on the year, but this was not a great performance for the 26-year-old. He allowed two goals in the first period and one more early in the second before the Hurricanes' possession game smothered the Canucks' offense. Through four appearances (three starts), Kochetkov has given up six goals on 65 shots. He should continue to see steady playing time while Frederik Andersen (concussion) is on the mend, but it could be Brandon Bussi's turn in goal Saturday versus the Oilers if Andersen isn't cleared to play.

Starting Friday Kochetkov will start at home versus the Canucks on Friday, Ryan Henkel of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Kochetkov's last outing was a brief relief appearance versus the Capitals on Tuesday, in which he didn't face a shot. Frederik Andersen (concussion) exited that contest, so Kochetkov could get an increase in playing time as long as Andersen is out. For Friday's game, Kochetkov will catch a bit of a break, as the Canucks will be without Quinn Hughes (undisclosed).

Makes cameo in relief Kochetkov didn't face a shot in 3:36 of ice time after replacing Frederik Andersen (concussion) late in the third period of Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Capitals.

Impact Kochetkov himself got pulled for an extra skater, as Alex Ovechkin scored Washington's final tally into an empty net. The two Carolina netminders had been alternating starts since Kochetkov recovered from a lower-body injury and made his season debut Nov. 4, but the 26-year-old could see his workload increase significantly in the short term if the team is cautious with Andersen, who has had multiple concussions in his career.

Earns another win Kochetkov stopped 19 of 22 shots in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Sabres.

Impact Kochetkov missed the start of the season due to a lower-body injury and posted a shutout in his 2025-26 debut Tuesday against the Rangers. He wasn't as effective this time around, but he got enough offensive support to improve to 2-0-0. Frederik Andersen isn't enjoying the best start to the campaign, so Kochetkov could be in line for more playing time if he continues to play like he has in his first two appearances.

Tending twine Saturday Kochetkov will protect the home goal versus the Sabres on Saturday, Ryan Henkel of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Kochetkov will make his second start of the season after posting a 26-save shutout versus the Rangers on Tuesday. The Sabres have won just once in their last six games, scoring 13 goals in that span, so this should be a good matchup for Kochetkov to keep things rolling.

Blanks Blueshirts in season debut Kochetkov turned aside 25 shots in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Rangers.

Impact Making his first start of the season after recovering from a lower-body injury, Kochetkov dazzled against a New York offense that has been snakebit so far in 2025-26, recording his 11th career shutout. The 26-year-old netminder could be eased into the campaign in a timeshare with Frederik Andersen, but the veteran's 2.96 GAA and .894 save percentage have left the door wide open for Kochetkov to seize the top job in the Carolina crease outright.

Kochetkov stops 25 shots in season debut in the Hurricanes' 3-0 victory over the Rangers

Pyotr Kochetkov made 25 saves in his season debut, Nikolaj Ehlers, Sean Walker and Seth Jarvis scored and the Carolina Hurricanes beat the New York Rangers 3-0 on Tuesday night

Slated to start in NYC Kochetkov is scheduled to start on the road against the Rangers on Tuesday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

Impact Kotchetkov is set to make his 2025-26 debut Tuesday, as he had been dealing with a lower-body injury and was recalled from a conditioning loan with AHL Chicago on Sunday. The 26-year-old posted a 27-16-3 record with two shutouts, a 2.60 GAA and an .897 save percentage over 47 regular-season appearances last year. After starting the campaign slowly, the Rangers are riding a three-game winning streak after their road trip out west, picking up wins against Vancouver, Edmonton and Seattle.

Returned from conditioning loan Kochetkov has been recalled from his conditioning loan by the Hurricanes from AHL Chicago on Sunday, according to the official AHL transaction log.

Impact Kochetkov has yet to appear in a game this season at the NHL level as he's been dealing with a lower-body injury since the start of the year. The 26-year-old played well in his lone start with AHL Chicago, making 22 saves on 23 shots on goal in a victory. He will now return to the NHL, presumably as the number two option behind Frederik Andersen.

NOVEMBER 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sent on conditioning assignment Kochetkov was sent to AHL Chicago on a conditioning assignment Friday.

Impact The Hurricanes activated Kochetkov from injured reserve earlier in the day, but they've decided he needs to get up to game speed in the minors. This likely means Frederik Andersen and Brandon Bussi will be the goalie tandem at the NHL level for a little longer. Expect Kochetkov to miss Saturday's game versus the Bruins at a minimum, though the team did not reveal how long his assignment will be.

Activated from injured reserve Kochetkov (lower body) was activated off injured reserve Friday.

Impact Kochetkov has not played this season as the Hurricanes have been relying on Frederik Andersson and Brandon Bussi for the first month of the season. Expect Bussi to be sent to the minors with the return of Kochetkov. Kochetkov could start as early as Saturday in Boston, but with the Hurricanes playing four games next week, including three games in four nights, look for Kochetkov to play at least twice over nine nights. Carolina placed K'Andre Miller (lower body) on injured reserve.

OCTOBER 27, 2025 • Associated Press

Placed on IR Kochetkov (lower body) landed on injured reserve Monday.

Impact The Hurricanes recalled Alexis Legault from AHL Chicago in a corresponding move. Kotchetkov's placement on IR is retroactive to Oct. 5, but he's not expected to suit up during the early portion of Carolina's road trip, which begins Tuesday in San Jose. It's unclear if Kochetkov made the trip out west, but Frederik Andersen will receive the bulk of the starts as long as Kochetkov is sidelined.

OCTOBER 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Out one week Per Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer, Kochetkov will miss one week of action with an undisclosed injury, according to head coach Rod Brind'Amour on Saturday.

Impact Kochetkov missed Opening Night and will miss at least the next three games. Frederik Andersen will continue to start while Brandon Bussi will back up Andersen while Kochetkov is on the sidelines. Kochetkov was 27-16-3 with a 2.60 GAA and an .897 save percentage across 47 regular-season appearances in 2024-25.

Impact Kochetkov missed practice Wednesday and Thursday with the injury. Andersen will get the Opening Night start with Brandon Bussi as the backup. Consider Kochetkov day-to-day at this time.
