Kochetkov's last Hurricane start was on January 15th, and he took the overtime loss after stopping 29 of 23 shots (.906 SV%) from the Vancouver Canucks. The 23-year-old rookie has been great in his limited fill-in appearances this season, with his 10-4-5 record, 2.33 GAA and .913 SV%. He will face the Philadelphia Flyers, who have lost five of their last six contests and are 29th in goals per game in the NHL (2.62).

Chatfield "tweaked something with his groin" that head coach Rod Brind'Amour does not believe to be serious but he will miss Thursday's game as he is considered day-to-day for the time being.

Stillman had missed the Sabres' previous game after acquiring an upper-body injury due to a fight vs. Tampa Bay on March 4th but is expected to be back in the lineup Thursday. The 25-year-old defenseman has five assists, 29 SOG, 30 PIMs and a -15 plus/minus through 34 games between Buffalo and Vancouver this season.

Lemieux has a goal, three assists, 25 SOG, 53 PIMs and a -4 plus/minus through 29 games between Philadelphia and Los Angeles but will not play Thursday due to an undisclosed injury. The 26-year-old has played in two games for Philadelphia since being traded at the deadline last week.

Antti Raanta suffered an undisclosed injury in Tuesday's game in Montreal, so Kochetkov comes up to serve as the Hurricanes' No.2 netminder behind Frederik Andersen. WIth a back-to-back on Saturday/Sunday, there's a good chance that Kochetkov seems some action.

Jost has six goals, 18 points, 71 SOG, 19 PIMs and a -5 plus/minus through 43 games this season but will not play Monday vs. Edmonton due to an undisclosed injury. The 24-year-old is considered day-to-day with his recent injury.

Stillman was forced to leave Saturday's game after a fight with Tanner Jeannot and did not return. Given the nature of the injury, Stillman likely will not be available for Monday's game against the Oilers, so look for Kale Clague or Jacob Bryson to draw back in.
