The Hurricanes, riding a six-game winning streak, will roll with Kochetkov between the pipes for the fourth straight game. Kochetkov has been tremendous lately, allowing three or fewer goals in his last four outings (4-0-0), posting a respectable .905 SV%. The 25-year-old Kochetkov has a 2.51 GAA and .893 SV% in six outings this season (5-1-1) and will continue to see most of the action in the crease for the Hurricanes as long as Frederik Andersen (lower-body) is sidelined. The Hurricanes enter Tuesday's contest as sizeable -298 home favorites against the Philadelphia Flyers.

With Frederik Andersen still sidelined due to a minor injury, the Hurricanes will roll with Kochetkov for a second consecutive game. The 25-year-old Kochetkov has won three of four starts (3-1-0), allowing three or fewer goals three times, posting a 2.77 GAA and .894 SV%. The Hurricanes, riding a four-game winning streak, enter the action on Thursday as -169 home favorites against a Boston Bruins club with a 4-5-1 record.

After being re-evaluated, the Hurricanes received bad news regarding Andersen's lower-body injury, downgrading his initial day-to-status to week-to-week.

The 35-year-old netminder has a 1.48 GAA and .941 SV% through four outings this season (3-1-0). Expect Pytor Kochetkov to control the Hurricanes' crease in Andersen's absence.

Andersen has not played in seven days since saving 19 of 21 shots (.905 SV%) in a 4-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning. Andersen will likely see a steady split in playing time with Pyotr Kochetkov throughout the season unless one can run away with the starting job. The Hurricanes enter action on Friday as -161 road favorites against the Penguins.
