Kochetkov will protect the home goal versus the Sabres on Saturday, Ryan Henkel of The Hockey News reports.
Kochetkov will make his second start of the season after posting a 26-save shutout versus the Rangers on Tuesday. The Sabres have won just once in their last six games, scoring 13 goals in that span, so this should be a good matchup for Kochetkov to keep things rolling.
