Kochetkov led the Hurricanes onto the ice for warmups.

The Hurricanes' goaltender carousel will continue on Tuesday as Pyotr Kochetkov returns to the crease after backing up Spencer Martin in a loss Sunday. The 24-year-old has been one of the NHL's hottest net minders as of late with his overall 15-10-3 record, 2.36 GAA, .910 SV% and 3 shutouts. He'll head to Minnesota to take on the Wild on Tuesday, who have won seven of their last nine games and are 14th in the NHL in goals per game (3.16).

Kochetkov will look to extend Carolina's winning streak to four as he takes the Hurricane crease over for the first time in three games on Thursday vs. Florida.

Martin will start on Monday vs. Chicago.

Frederick Andersen temporarily occupied the starter's crease at the Hurricanes' morning skate on Monday, indicating he is nearing a return, but Martin tend the twine for the second straight contest. Martin has been excellent in two games with the Hurricanes, notably on Saturday when he saved 29 of 30 shots (.967 SV%) in a 3-1 win over the Vegas Golden Knights.

Kochetkov will start in Arizona on Friday.

The Hurricanes will turn back to Kochetkov on Friday as the 24-year-old netminder is set to make a fifth consecutive start. Kochetkov will be eager for a shot at redemption after being saddled with the loss in Dallas on Tuesday, allowing three goals on 22 shots in the eventual 4-2 defeat. His start on Friday opens up the door for Spencer Martin to make his second appearance as a Hurricane when the team travels to Vegas on Saturday, though there is the outside chance the team opts to go to Kochetkov on back-to-back nights.

Andersen (blood clot issue) practiced in full in Carolina on Thursday for the first time since stepping away from the team.

Andersen was diagnosed with deep-vein thrombosis and subsequent pulmonary embolisms in November. On Thursday, he returned to practice at full capacity for the first time since his diagnosis. Anderson has a 2.87 GAA and .894 SV% in six games this season (4-1-0), and at the very least, he will likely return to a timeshare between the pipes.

Kochetkov will start in Dallas on Tuesday.

Kochetkov is coming off his best performance of the season, a 34-save shutout in a 1-0 overtime victory against the New Jersey Devils.
