Yaniv Perets News

With Pyotr Kochetkov (undisclosed) doubt for Saturday's game against the Ottawa Senators, in addition to Frederik Andersen (lower body) being out long-term, the Hurricanes have recalled Perets from the Chicago Wolves (AHL). If Kochetkov is not able to suit up on Saturday, Perets will likely serve as the backup to Spencer Martin. The 24-year-old Perets has a 3.67 GAA and .825 SV% in three games with the Wolves (AHL) this season.

Perets was recalled on Friday as Pyotr Kochetkov is in concussion protocol and remains out of the lineup indefinitely after exiting Thursday's contest against the Anaheim Ducks. Perets, who has a .906 SV% and 2.62 GAA in 15 games with the Norfolk Admirals of the ECHL, will likely serve as the backup to Antti Raanta while Kochetkov is out of the lineup.

The Hurricanes placed Antti Raanta on waivers on Saturday, so Perets will likely serve as Pyotr Kochetkov's backup on Sunday. The 23-year-old netminder turned pro this season after three seasons at Quinnipiac University. He has gone 5-5-1 with a 2.38 GAA and .916 SV% in 11 ECHL games this season.

Perets was an undrafted free-agent goaltender that backstopped Quinnipiac University to a 2023 National Championship. The 23-year-old went 34-4-3 with a 1.49 GAA and .931 SV% in 41 games this season.
