Kochetkov had a rough return in his first game back from a concussion on Tuesday as he allowed four goals on 28 shots (.857 SV%) in a loss to Seattle but will have a chance at redemption vs. Colorado as he takes the crease Thursday. The 25-year-old has had an up-and-down season despite his 10-3-0 record, with a 2.55 GAA and .900 SV%. He will host the Avalanche on Thursday, who have lost three of their last five games but had an inspiring 5-4 comeback win over Buffalo their last time out.

With recent injuries to Frederik Andersen and Pyotr Kochetkov, Martin was thrust into the crease in Carolina and struggled when called upon, posting a 3.89 GAA and .846 SV% in nine appearances (3-4-1). The Hurricanes recalled Dustin Tokarski in a corresponding move.

Tokarski has been stellar with the Chicago Wolves (AHL) this season season, posting a 1.61 GAA and .933 SV% in five games (4-1-0). The 35-year-old NHL journeyman has played 80 career NHL games (23-34-12), posting a 3.15 GAA and .902 SV%. In a corresponding move, Spencer Martin was sent down to Chicago (AHL).

Kochetkov has not played since November 23rd due to a concussion but will return to the crease on Tuesday against the Seattle Kraken. The 25-year-old Kochetkov has a 2.42 GAA and .904 SV% in 13 appearances this season (10-2-0). The Hurricanes have been outscored 12-3 in their last two games (0-2-0) but enter Tuesday's contest as -245 home favorites against a Kraken club averaging 2.84 goals per game.

Stillman was signed by the Hurricanes in the offseason but has yet to play a game in the 2024-25 season. His last NHL game was in the 2022-23 season as a member of the Buffalo Sabres when he had three points (1G / 2A) in 18 games. He has one point (0G / 1A) in four games with the Chicago Wolves (AHL) this season.

Perets was recalled last week after Pyotr Kochetkov suffered an upper-body injury. His reassignment to the AHL is likely an indication that Kochetkov is ready to return to the lineup. Perets is 1-2-0 with a 3.67 GAA and .825 SV% with the Chicago Wolves (AHL) this season.

Kochetkov left last Saturday's game in overtime following a collision with Zach Werenski and has not suited up since, leaving the Hurricanes goaltending duties to Spencer Martin, who got the nod against the Panthers on Friday. Assuming Kochetkov is unavailable, then the Hurricanes will have to choose between starting Martin on back-to-back days or handing Yaniv Perets the first start of his NHL career.

Kochetkov left last Saturday's game in overtime following a collision with Zach Werenski and has not suited up since, leaving the Hurricanes goaltending duties to Spencer Martin. Martin will tend the twine again on Friday but the 25-year-old Kochetkov could be ready to suit up on Saturday.

With Pyotr Kochetkov (concussion) still sidelined, Martin will return to the crease for the Hurricanes. The 29-year-old Martin has showcased mixed results this season, posting a 3.33 GAA and .856 SV% in seven appearances (3-2-1), but has won two straight. The Hurricanes enter Friday's contest as -154 home favorites against a Florida Panthers club that defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs 5-1 in their most recent outing, snapping a season-worst four-game losing skid.

Pyotr Kochetkov (concussion) is reportedly nearing a return to the crease, but Martin will continue as the Hurricanes starting netminder in the interim. The 29-year-old Martin has showcased up-and-down results in limited action this season, posting a 3.40 GAA and .854 SV%, including one shutout, in six appearances (2-2-1). The Hurricanes enter the action on Wednesday as -179 home favorites against a New York Rangers club coming off a disappointing 5-2 loss to the St. Louis Blues.

Martin will likely tend the twine again on Wednesday but the 25-year-old Kochetkov could be ready to suit up this weekend.
