Hurricanes aim for another deep push in 7th straight playoff trip entering Round 1 against Devils

The Carolina Hurricanes open their seventh straight trip to the Stanley Cup Playoffs with a first-round series against the New Jersey Devils

APRIL 19, 2025 • Associated Press

Downed by Habs on Wednesday Kochetkov stopped 17 of 20 shots in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Canadiens, with Montreal's final goal getting scored into an empty net.

Impact With nothing on the line in their second-last game of the regular season, the Hurricanes rested a number of skaters and didn't provide Kochetkov with his usual support. It's the 25-year-old netminder's third loss in his last four starts, and over his last seven outings he's stumbled 3.91 GAA and .832 save percentage. Frederik Andersen has been marginally better during that stretch (2.80 GAA, .885 save percentage in his last six starts), but it's not yet clear which goalie Carolina will have between the pipes when the team kicks off its playoff run against New Jersey.

Set to start Wednesday Kochetkov is expected to start on the road against Montreal on Wednesday, per Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.

Impact Kochetkov has surrendered at least three goals in each of his past six appearances, going 2-4-0 with a 4.06 GAA and an .830 save percentage over that stretch. He's 27-15-3 with a 2.59 GAA and an .897 save percentage in 46 outings this campaign. Montreal, which will be looking to earn at least one point Wednesday to secure its postseason berth, ranks 17th in goals per game with 2.95.

Cruises to win Saturday Kochetkov made 28 saves in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Rangers.

Impact The Hurricanes took their foot off the gas in the third period after building a 5-1 lead, but Kochetkov made sure the visitors never got too close. The 25-year-old is still having a sluggish end to the regular season, allowing at least three goals in six straight starts since a shutout over the Flyers on March 15, and over that stretch he's gone 2-4-0 with a 4.06 GAA and .830 save percentage.

Slated to start Kochetkov is expected to protect the home net against the Rangers on Saturday, according to Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.

Impact Kochetkov has one win in his last five outings (1-4-0), allowing 21 goals on 110 shots. He has a 26-15-3 record with two shutouts, a 2.58 GAA and an .897 save percentage across 45 appearances this season. The Rangers sit 12th in the league with 3.08 goals per game in 2024-25.

Gets no help in loss Kochetkov made 15 saves in Tuesday's 3-0 loss to the Sabres.

Impact After a scoreless first period, Tage Thompson ripped a puck past Kochetkov just 92 seconds into the second frame, and it was all the support James Reimer would need in the other crease. Kochetkov is stumbling toward the finish line on the regular season, going 1-4-0 over his last five starts with a 4.28 GAA and .809 save percentage, which may put Frederik Andersen in the driver's seat to be the Hurricanes' No. 1 goalie in the playoffs.

James Reimer's 33-save shutout leads Sabres over Hurricanes 3-0

James Reimer made 33 saves and helped lead the Buffalo Sabres to a 3-0 win against the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday night

APRIL 9, 2025 • Associated Press

Expected starter in Buffalo Kochetkov is slated to tend the road twine Tuesday against the Sabres, per Heather Engel of NHL.com.

Impact Kochetkov has faltered of late, going 1-3-0 with a 4.61 GAA and an .804 save percentage over his last four starts, which comes on the heels of a five-game winning streak. It won't get any easier against a Buffalo team that has won four consecutive games and seven of its last eight. Kochetkov is 2-0-0 with a 2.00 GAA against the Sabres in his career.

Falters against Red Wings Kochetkov stopped 16 of 20 shots in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Red Wings. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Kochetkov has allowed 18 goals across his last four games, going 1-3-0 in that span. Just one of the team's he's faced in that span is currently in a playoff spot, so this is not a good look for Kochetkov. His defeat Friday sent him to 26-14-3 with a 2.57 GAA and an .899 save percentage over 44 starts this season. The Hurricanes will likely turn to Frederik Andersen for Saturday's game in Boston, while Kochetkov's next turn in the goalie rotation would be Tuesday in Buffalo.

Between pipes Friday Kochetkov will defend the visiting cage in Detroit on Friday.

Impact Kochetov picked up his first victory in three starts Sunday, turning aside 27 shots in a 6-4 win over the Islanders. Kochetkov is 26-13-3 with a pair of shutouts, a 2.54 GAA and a .900 save percentage across 43 appearances this season. He is alternating starts with Frederik Andersen and it remains to be seen if this arrangement will continue in the playoffs. The Red Wings are generating 2.81 goals per games in 2024-25, 21st in the NHL.

APRIL 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Gives up four goals in win Kochetkov allowed four goals on 31 shots in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Islanders.

Impact Kochetkov ended a two-game slide, but it wasn't a confident performance. He's given up 14 goals over his last three games after allowing just six tallies during the five-game win streak that preceded this stretch. For the season, Kochetkov is up to 26-13-3 with a 2.54 GAA and a .900 save percentage over a career-high 43 games. If the Hurricanes continue to alternate between Kochetkov and Frederik Andersen, Kochetkov will dodge Wednesday's matchup versus the Capitals and instead play Friday on the road against the Red Wings.
