Kochetkov turned aside 19 of 21 shots in Sunday's 4-2 victory over the Capitals. Kochetkov had a light workload in Sunday's win as a result of Carolina outshooting Washington by a count of 45 to 21. The 25-year-old netminder is riding a four-game win streak, and he's allowed exactly two goals in three of those contests. Kochetkov has posted a 5-1-0 record, .893 save percentage and 2.51 GAA across six appearances.

Kochetkov will tend the twine at home against Boston on Thursday, Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal reports. Kochetkov will make consecutive starts for the first time this season after Frederik Andersen (lower body) was deemed week-to-week. Looking ahead, the 25-year-old Kochetkov figures to carry the load for the Canes while Spencer Martin serves as the No. 2 option. In his four outings this year, Kochetkov is 3-1-0 with a 2.76 GAA and .894 save percentage.

Kochetkov stopped 30 of 32 shots in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Flames. He also recorded an assist in Eric Robinson's empty-net goal. Kochetkov has been alternating with Frederik Andersen between the pipes, but the 25-year-old Russian netminder has been solid, all things considered. Even though he was woeful in the 4-3 loss to the Blues on Saturday, he's posted a save percentage above the .920 mark in his other two outings. He's gone 2-1-0 with a 2.70 GAA and a .896 save percentage across three starts, but his upside will remain limited as long as he continues to share the workload with Andersen, with the possibility of Kochetkov taking over as the full-time starter being slim at the moment.

Kochetkov stopped 15 of 19 shots in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Blues. Kochetkov was coming off a solid win in his season debut against the Devils on Oct. 15, but he didn't have his best outing against the Blues. The Hurricanes have been rotating goalies early in this campaign, so Frederik Andersen has a solid chance to return to the crease for Tuesday's road matchup at Edmonton.

Kochetkov will protect the road goal versus the Blues on Saturday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports. Kochetkov won his season debut, stopping 24 of 26 shots versus the Devils on Tuesday. The 25-year-old netminder has alternated starts with Frederik Andersen so far, and that arrangement could continue if both goalies play well. The Blues have scored just 13 goals over five games, so Kochetkov has a somewhat favorable matchup.
