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.
Kochetkov stopped 31 of 33 shots (.939 SV%) as he picked up his third straight win in a victory over the Los Angeles Kings. Kochetkov has been sensational in filling in for the injured Frederick Andersen, posting a 5-1-3 record with his 2.27 GAA and .919 SV%. He takes on the Anaheim Ducks who are in the midst of a six-game losing streak after dropping their last contest 5-2 to Winnipeg.

Hayes has been acquired by the Carolina Hurricanes for future considerations after putting up one assist, 13 PIMs and a +3 plus/minus with the Henderson Silver Knights (AHL). Hayes played three games for the Golden Knight in 2021-22 with zero points, and one shot.
Kochetkov allowed three goals on 41 shots but was the unlucky overtime loser for his fourth straight defeat as he took on Boston in his previous start. The 23-year-old rookie has played well in limited starts despite what his 2-1-3 record may show, posting a .913 SV% and 2.33 GAA. He takes on the Pittsburgh Penguins, who are ninth in the NHL in both goals per game (3.45) and shots per game (33.0).
Martin stopped 26 of 27 shots (.963 SV%) in his last start as he picked up his sixth win in seven starts with a victory over Vegas. The 27-year-old has stolen the Canucks' starting gig for the time being due to his 6-1-1 record, 907 SV% and 3.12 GAA. He takes on the Washington Capitals, who surprisingly rank in the bottom ten in the NHL in both shots per game (30.2 - 22nd) and goals per game (2.7 - 26th).
