Pyotr Kochetkov will start Thursday vs. Philadelphia.

Kochetkov will start his second consecutive game for the Hurricanes as the 24-year-old Russian netminder is reeling after a 22-save, 4-0 shutout victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday. Before his strong performance on Saturday, Kochetkov had lost all three appearances (0-3-0), allowing 11 goals on 67 shots (.836 SV%). The Hurricanes will hope to keep things rolling for Kochetkov on Wednesday as they are -248 home favourites against a Philadelphia Flyers team on a two-game winning streak.

Jack Roslovic (fractured ankle) has been placed on the injured reserve and is expected to be out for 4-6 weeks.

Roslovic left the Blue Jackets' previous game vs. the Rangers after 16:17 TOI after blocking a shot and will now miss 4-6 weeks with a fractured ankle. The 26-year-old heads to the injured reserve with two goals, six assists, 29 SOG, six PIMs, and a -6 plus/minus through 14 games prior to his injury. David Jiricek has been recalled in a corresponding roster move.

Jack Roslovic (undisclosed) has been placed on the injured reserve.

Roslovic played the entire game for the Blue Jackets on Sunday but suffered an undisclosed injury at some point and has since been placed on the injured reserve, meaning he will miss at least one week. Roslovic was off to a strong start this season, tallying eight points (2G / 6A) in 14 games and 29 shots while averaging 16:31 time-on-ice. Kent Johnson, who was sent down to Cleveland (AHL) last week, could be an option to replace Roslovic's offence for the Blue Jackets should they opt to recall him.

Shayne Gostisbehere will draw back into the Red Wings' lineup Saturday vs. Columbus.

After recording nine points (3G / 6A) in his first seven games as a Red Wing, Gostisbehere went invisible, recording zero points and a -8 plus/minute rating in his last six contests, leading to his eventual healthy scratch on Thursday. He will return to the lineup on Saturday against the Columbus Blue Jackets.

In five games (1-2-1), Martin boasts a 2.62 GAA and .928 SV%. The Blue Jackets played the Stars on October 30th, with Merzlikins between the pipes, losing 5-3. Martin and the Blue Jackets are listed as +199 home underdogs on Thursday.

Pyotr Kochetkov has been recalled from Syracuse (AHL).

With news that Frederik Andersen will be out indefinitely because of a blood clotting issue, the Hurricanes have recalled Kochetkov from the Syracuse Crunch of the AHL. Kochetkov recently had a great three-game stint in the AHL (3-0-0), posting a 1.63 GAA and .932 SV%, which starkly contrasts his poor 4.33 GAA and .836 SV% from an earlier three-game stint (0-3-0) with the Hurricanes. Antti Raanta will likely be the go-to option between the pipes while Andersen is away from the team. The Hurricanes also announced on Monday that veteran goalie Jaroslav Halak will be joining the team on a free-agent tryout.

Frederik Andersen had a blood clotting issue and is out indefinetly.

Andersen did not participate in practice on Monday due to what was originally described as an undisclosed medical issue. Don Waddell, Hurricanes President and GM, has since put out a statement noting that Andersen had a blood clotting issue that needed to be addressed. There is no timeline for his return. Anderson has a 2.87 GAA and .894 SV% in six games this season (4-1-0). Assuming he misses extended time, Antti Raanta will be the likely candidate to take on most of the Hurricanes' goaltending duties. The Hurricanes also announced on Monday that veteran goalie Jaroslav Halak will be joining the team on a free-agent tryout.
