Kochetkov has not played since November 23rd due to a concussion but his presence at practice along with Yaniv Perets being reassigned to the Chicago Wolves (AHL) is an indication that he is likely on route to return to the crease. The 25-year-old Kochetkov has a 2.42 GAA and .904 SV% in 13 appearances this season (10-2-0).
Perets was recalled last week after Pyotr Kochetkov suffered an upper-body injury. His reassignment to the AHL is likely an indication that Kochetkov is ready to return to the lineup. Perets is 1-2-0 with a 3.67 GAA and .825 SV% with the Chicago Wolves (AHL) this season.
Kochetkov left last Saturday's game in overtime following a collision with Zach Werenski and has not suited up since, leaving the Hurricanes goaltending duties to Spencer Martin, who got the nod against the Panthers on Friday. Assuming Kochetkov is unavailable, then the Hurricanes will have to choose between starting Martin on back-to-back days or handing Yaniv Perets the first start of his NHL career.
Kochetkov left last Saturday's game in overtime following a collision with Zach Werenski and has not suited up since, leaving the Hurricanes goaltending duties to Spencer Martin. Martin will tend the twine again on Friday but the 25-year-old Kochetkov could be ready to suit up on Saturday.
Stankoven is battling an undisclosed ailment and will miss his first game of the season on Friday. The 21-year-old rookie has 15 points (4G / 11A) in 21 games this season. Roope Hintz (undisclosed) will draw back into the lineup for the Stars.
Kochetkov left Saturday's game in overtime following a collision with Zach Werenski. The Hurricanes recalled Yaniv Perets from Chicago (AHL) on Sunday, who has served as the backup to Spencer Martin since Kochetkov's absence.

On the tail end of a back-to-back, the Canadiens will turn to Primeau in net on Wednesday against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Primeau has struggled this season and as a result has seen very limited action lately. The 25-year-old netminder is sporting an ugly 4.59 GAA and .842 SV% in eight appearances (1-2-1).
Jarvis has not played since November 9th, missing seven games, but will draw back into the lineup on Monday night against the Dallas Stars. Prior to getting hurt, Jarvis had 11 points (4G / 7A) in 13 games. He will likely suit up on a line with Martin Necas and Jack Drury.
Kochetkov left Saturday's game in overtime following a collision with Zach Werenski. The Hurricanes recalled Yaniv Perets from Chicago (AHL) on Sunday, suggesting that Kochetkov won't be available for Monday's game vs. Dallas. The Hurricanes have yet to provide an update on Kochetkov, but it would be a crushing blow if he misses an extended period of time. The Hurricanes are already without Frederik Andersen (knee) for the next 8-to-12 weeks. Expect Spencer Martin to see the majority of time in the Hurricanes' crease with Kochetkov sidelined.
Jost has played the previous seven games for the Hurricanes but will return to the Chicago Wolves (AHL). 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.
