Jankowski scored in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Los Angeles Kings but will be reassigned to the Milwaukee Admirals (AHL), ending his five-game stint with the Predators. The 29-year-old Jankowski has 329 NHL games under his belt but has spent the majority of the 2023-24 campaign with Milwaukee in the AHL, scoring an impressive 47 points (15G / 32A) in 42 games.
Kochetkov will look to extend Carolina's winning streak to four as he takes the Hurricane crease over for the first time in three games on Thursday vs. Florida. The 24-year-old netminder now finds himself amongst three other capable goaltenders in Carolina and will look to continue to improve on his 14-9-3 record, 2.46 GAA and .905 SV%. He will take on one of the NHL's hottest teams in Florida on Thursday, who have won six straight and lead the NHL in shots per game (34.0).
The Stars recalled Stankoven ahead of Tuesday's game against the Rangers, but immediately loaned him back after Matt Duchene (lower-body) was deemed fit to play. The highly-touted prospect's NHL debut will have to wait. Stankoven has transitioned seamlessly in his first professional season, leading the AHL with 57 points (24G / 33A) in 46 games with the Texas Stars.
The Stars are without forwards Evgenii Dadonov (lower-body) and presumably Matt Duchene (lower-body), who was a last-minute scratch on Monday. The Stars are playing the back end of a back-to-back on Tuesday and have recalled some offensive pedigree in the form of their highly touted prospect. Stankoven has transitioned seamlessly in his first professional season, leading the AHL with 57 points (24G / 33A) in 46 games with the Texas Stars. He could make his NHL debut on Tuesday depending on the health and availability of other Stars' players, namely Duchene.
Tokarski's latest stay in the NHL lasts less than a day, as the Sabres just recalled him from Rochester earlier today. The 34-year-old has struggled in the AHL this season, with his 7-7-2 record, 3.47 GAA and .888 SV%. He last appeared in the NHL with Pittsburgh in 2022-23 and had a 1-2-0 record with a .897 SV%.
Chatfield was a late scratch from Monday's game, with the Hurricanes not announcing his absence until the start of warmups. Tony DeAngelo will likely draw into the lineup in Chatfield's place.
Jankowski played the last three games for the Predators, registering a -2 plus/minus and four shots on goal while averaging nearly 12 minutes on the ice. He will likely play again in the Predators' next matchup on Tuesday against the Vegas Golden Knights.
Kochetkov did not participate at the morning skate on Monday due to an illness but is expected to ready to back-up Spencer Martin in the evening. Kochetkov has been excellent lately, allowing three or fewer goals in 10 straight outings (7-2-0), posting a .923 SV%.
Frederick Andersen temporarily occupied the starter's crease at the Hurricanes' morning skate on Monday, indicating he is nearing a return, but Martin tend the twine for the second straight contest. Martin has been excellent in two games with the Hurricanes, notably on Saturday when he saved 29 of 30 shots (.967 SV%) in a 3-1 win over the Vegas Golden Knights. The Hurricanes are significant -435 home favourites on Monday against a Chicago Blackhawks club that snapped an eight-game losing streak on Saturday.
Tokarski was surprisingly called up from Rochester (AHL) on Thursday after Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen was ruled out due to a lower-body injury, but was immediately sent back down the following day. The 34-year-old has struggled in the AHL this season, with his 7-7-2 record, 3.47 GAA and .888 SV%. He last appeared in the NHL with Pittsburgh in 2022-23 and had a 1-2-0 record with a .897 SV%.

The Hurricanes will turn back to Kochetkov on Friday as the 24-year-old netminder is set to make a fifth consecutive start. Kochetkov will be eager for a shot at redemption after being saddled with the loss in Dallas on Tuesday, allowing three goals on 22 shots in the eventual 4-2 defeat. His start on Friday opens up the door for Spencer Martin to make his second appearance as a Hurricane when the team travels to Vegas on Saturday, though there is the outside chance the team opts to go to Kochetkov on back-to-back nights.

Tokarski was surprisingly called up from Rochester (AHL) on Thursday and will wait to see what it means for the rest of the Sabres' crease as they take on Florida.

Andersen was diagnosed with deep-vein thrombosis and subsequent pulmonary embolisms in November. On Thursday, he returned to practice at full capacity for the first time since his diagnosis. Anderson has a 2.87 GAA and .894 SV% in six games this season (4-1-0), and at the very least, he will likely return to a timeshare between the pipes.
Kochetkov will start for the fourth straight game as the Hurricanes attempt to extend their winning streak to three on Tuesday night. Kochetkov is coming off his best performance of the season, a 34-save shutout in a 1-0 overtime victory against the New Jersey Devils. The Hurricanes are slight +103 road underdogs against a Dallas Stars club that has won five of their last six contests (5-1-0).
