Spencer Martin will start Wednesday vs. Tampa Bay.

Martin allowed four goals on 35 shots (.886 SV%) for his fifth-straight loss as he was defeated by Florida in his previous start. The 27-year-old has been very poor for the Canucks all season, as shown by his .880 SV%, 3.76. GAA and 11-10-1 record. He draws the unfortunate start of the Tampa Bay Lightning, who are in the middle of a four-game winning streak and are fifth in the NHL in goals per game (3.6).

The Hurricanes have reassigned Pyotr Kocetkov to Chicago (AHL).

The Hurricanes were carrying three goalies since Frederik Andersen returned but have demoted Kochetkov to the AHL and will carry Andersen and Antti Raanta moving forward. Kochetkov started off great, going 10-1-4 with a .928 SV% and three shutouts in his first 15 games. However, he was 0-3-1 with a .861 SV% in his last four games. Before getting called up, Kochetkov was 2-2-1 with a .911 SV% in the AHL.

Dustin Tokarski will start Friday vs. Winnipeg.

Tokarski stopped 18 of 19 shots (.947 SV%) for a relief victory and his first of the year over Vancouver in his last game. The 33-year-old had been excellent in the minors with his 8-6-7 record, .926 SV% and 2.22 GAA. He will face Winnipeg Friday, who have won six of their last seven contests with a 4-2 win over Buffalo last game.
