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.
