Kochetkov missed the first month of the season with a lower-body injury, but was assigned to Chicago on a conditioning loan on Friday.

Kochetkov has been battling a lower-body injury since the beginning of October and has yet to suit up this season. It's unclear how many AHL appearances he will require before being ready to make his season debut. The 26-year-old Kochetkov posted a 2.60 GAA and .897 SV% in 47 appearances last season (27-16-3).

Jarvis (undisclosed) has a chance to play on Saturday vs. Boston.

Jarvis suffered an undisclosed injury and exited Thursday's 6-2 win over the New York Islanders in the third period. The 23-year-old Jarvis has been held off the scoresheet in three straight but has still been productive in the early stages of the 2025-26 season, scoring 11 points (7G / 4A) in 10 games. He appeared to suffer the injury on a shot block. Hurricanes' head coach Rod Brind'Amour originally stated that the injury "doesn't look great," but the team seems to have avoided a serious injury, as he could return to the lineup on Saturday.
