Kochetkov will start in Washington on Friday.

The Hurricanes have rotated between Kochetkov and Freddie Andersen since the latter returned from his injury, and that trend will continue in Washington on Friday. Kochetkov was outstanding in his last start, allowing just a single goal on 31 shots as the Hurricanes secured a 4-1 victory on Long Island. The 24-year-old netminder has been on a tear of late, posting a .939 SV% and a 7-4-0 record over his last 11 appearances. He's got a great chance of staying in the win column on Friday night with the Hurricanes being -200 favourites in Washington.

Kochetkov will start on Long Island on Tuesday.

Kochetkov will be back between the pipes on Tuesday after Frederik Andersen got the nod in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Senators. Kochetkov performed admirably his last time out, stopping 36 of the 40 shots he faced as the Hurricanes edged the Maple Leafs in a 5-4 shootout victory on Saturday. He continues to split time with Andersen as Carolina has rotated their netminder each game since Andersen's return from injury. Kochketkov is a good bet to stay in the win column on Tuesday with the Hurricanes being -160 favourites on Long Island.
