Kochetkov will start in Philadelphia on Wednesday.

The Hurricanes will turn to Kochetkov between the pipes again on Wednesday for his seventh start of November. The 25-year-old Kochetkov has been winning all season but has been especially dominant lately. In his first five games (4-1-0), Kochetkov was sporting a subpar .891 SV%, in contrast to the .915 SV% he has in six games since (5-1-0). The Hurricanes enter Wednesday's contest as sizeable -228 road favorites against the Philadelphia Flyers.

Kochetkov will start on Sunday against the St. Louis Blues.

Kochetkov exited Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Utah Hockey Club due to an undisclosed injury, did not play on Saturday but will return to the crease on Sunday. The 25-year-old Kochetkov has been solid between the pipes for the Hurricanes this season, posting a 2.56 GAA and .897 SV% in 10 games (8-2-0).

Perets has been recalled from Chicago (AHL).

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.

Yaniv Perets
Jarvis (upper-body) is hopeful to return to practice next week but is considered week-to-week for now.

Jarvis was a late scratch on Monday with his absence not being announced prior to warmups, did not play on Wednesday, and will likely miss some more time due to an upper-body injury. The 22-year-old Jarvis has 11 points (4G / 7A) in 13 games this season.

Seth Jarvis
Andersen (lower-body) is expected to be out "way longer" than his original week-to-week designation.

Originally expected to be a minor injury, Hurricanes' head coach Rod Brind'Amour revealed on Friday that Andersen will be out of the lineup for the foreseeable future. Adding insult to injury for the Hurricanes, Pyotr Kochetkov (undisclosed) suffered an injury on Wednesday and might be unable to suit up on Saturday. Expect Spencer Martin to control the Hurricanes' crease during this uncertain time between the pipes for the Hurricanes.

Frederik Andersen
Kochetkov (undisclosed) is doubtful to play vs. Ottawa on Saturday.

Kochetkov left Wednesday's game against Utah HC, leaving the contest after allowing three goals on 18 shots (.833 SV%), due to an undisclosed injury. If Kochetkov is unable to play on Saturday, expect the Hurricanes to recall a goalie to serve as the backup to Spencer Martin.

Smith has been recalled from Chicago (AHL).

Smith was the 17th overall pick of the New Jersey Devils in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft but has had trouble establishing himself at the NHL level. The 24-year-old puck-moving defenseman has not played an NHL game since a nine-game stint with the Pittsburgh Penguins in the 2022-23 season.

Kochetkov (undisclosed) left Wednesday's game vs. Utah early and did not return.

Kochetkov did not finish Wednesday's game against Utah HC, leaving the contest after allowing three goals on 18 shots (.833 SV%), due to an undisclosed injury. The Hurricanes do not practice on Thursday so an update will likely not be available until Friday. With Frederik Andersen (lower body) already sidelined, the Hurricanes might have to rely on Spencer Martin to tend the twine in the interim if Kochetkov's injury lingers.

Kochetkov will start in Utah on Wednesday.

The Hurricanes' eight-game winning streak was snapped on Saturday, but they returned to the win column after Kochetkov saved 30 of 32 shots (.938 SV%) in a 5-2 win over the Vegas Golden Knights on Monday. The 25-year-old Kochetkov has been solid for the Hurricanes this season, especially stepping up in the absence of Frederik Andersen (lower body), posting a .911 SV% during a seven-game winning streak. The Hurricanes enter Wednesday's contest as sizeable -197 road favorites against the Utah Hockey Club.

Smith has been reassigned to the Chicago Wolves (AHL).

Smith was the 17th overall pick of the New Jersey Devils in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft but has had trouble establishing himself at the NHL level. The 24-year-old puck-moving defenseman has not played an NHL game since a nine-game stint with the Pittsburgh Penguins in the 2022-23 season.

Ty Smith
Jost will make his Hurricanes debut on Monday.

Jost will draw into the lineup in place of Seth Jarvis, who is out with an upper-body injury. Jost scored three goals and added three assists in 43 games with the Sabres last season. He signed one-year deal worth $775K with Carolina in the off-season.

Tyson Jost
Kochetkov will start in Vegas on Monday.

Spencer Martin was the starting goalie for the Hurricanes on Saturday, a 6-4 loss to the Colorado Avalanche, snapping an eight-game winning streak. As such, the Hurricanes will quickly revert to the services of Kochetkov between the pipes on Monday in a contest against the Vegas Golden Knights. The 25-year-old Kochetkov has been solid for the Hurricanes this season, especially establishing himself since the injury to Frederik Andersen (lower body), posting a 2.51 GA and .896 SV% in eight games (7-1-0). The Hurricanes enter the action on Monday as -149 road favorites against a Golden Knights club without Mark Stone for a second straight game.
