Aho has missed the Hurricane's last seven games due to a lower-body injury but will be a game-time decision Friday as they take on the Flyers. If Aho does return, it will be massive for Carolina, as he had 11 goals, 27 points, 7 SOG, 18 PIMS and a +2 plus/minus through 26 games prior to the injury.
Martin allowed five goals on 27 shots (.815 SV%) for his second straight five-goal loss as he was defeated by St. Louis in his last start. The 27-year-old has been leaned on heavily due to Thatcher Demko's injury, which has led to a not-so-pretty .885 SV%, 3.59 GAA but a decent 9-5-1 record. He takes on Seattle, who has won their last two games and are sixth in the NHL in goals per game (3.48).

Kochetkov stopped 23 of 25 shots (.920 SV%) for his fourth straight win in his last start as he beat the Pittsburgh Penguins. The rookie netminder has been a revelation for the Hurricanes in his first season, with his 9-1-4 record, 2.01 GAA and .923 SV%. He will face the New Jersey Devils, who are on a bit of a slide, having lost their last five games.

Martin allowed five goals on 27 shots (.815 SV%) as he picked up his second loss in three games with a defeat to the Winnipeg Jets in his last start. The 27-year-old has an impressive 9-4-1 record despite having a mediocre .889 SV% and 3.50 GAA. He will face the St. Louis Blues, who have won their last three games after a 5-2 victory over Calgary their last time out.

Kotchetkov stopped all 27 shots for his second straight shutout in a win over Detroit in his previous start. The 23-year-old has been incredible in replacing the injured Frederick Andersen, with his 7-1-4 record, 2.01 GAA, two shutouts and a .926 SV%. He will look to keep his shutout streak alive as he takes on Seattle, who have lost four of their last five games after a 6-2 loss to Tampa Bay in their last game.

Martin allowed three goals on 33 shots (.909 SV%) as he picked up a hard-fought loss vs. Minessota in his last start. The 27-year-old does not have great numbers despite his 8-3-1 record, with a .891 SV% and 3.45 GAA. He takes on the Calgary Flames, who have been stumbling as of late with three straight losses after a 2-1 shootout loss to Montreal Monday.

Fast was questionable to return Tuesday but is still day-to-day with a lower-body injury that will keep him out of the lineup. The 31-year-old has two goals, six assists, 23 SOG and is +3 plus/minus across 26 games prior to the injury.
Kochetkov stopped 16 of 16 shots for his 2nd shutout of the season in a win over the New York Islanders his last time out. Carolina's unexpected starter has been phenomenal this season, with a 6-1-4 record, .918 SV% and 2.21 GAA. He takes on the Detroit Red Wings, who have lost two straight and are 17th in the NHL in goals per game (3.07).
Aho remains day-to-day with a lower-body injury and will not be available for a second straight game. His next chance to return is Thursday vs. the Kraken on home-ice. Look for Paul Stastny to remain in the top-6 while Aho is out.
