Hurricanes' Pyotr Kochetkov: Out for at least one week
Per Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer, Kochetkov (lower body) will miss at least one week of action, according to head coach Rod Brind'Amour on Saturday.
Kochetkov sat out Opening Night against New Jersey on Thursday and will miss at least the next three games. Still, Brind'Amour is hopeful that Kochetkov could travel with the Hurricanes on the team's upcoming six-game road trip, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports, which begins Tuesday against the Sharks. Frederik Andersen will probably continue to start in Kochetkov's absence, while Brandon Bussi will be the backup. Kochetkov was 27-16-3 with a 2.60 GAA and an .897 save percentage across 47 regular-season appearances in 2024-25.

Hurricanes' Pyotr Kochetkov: Not in lineup Thursday
Head coach Rod Brind'Amour said Thursday that Kochetkov (undisclosed) was "nicked up" and will not back up Frederik Andersen versus New Jersey on Thursday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
Kochetkov missed practice Wednesday and Thursday with the injury. Andersen will get the Opening Night start, while Brandon Bussi serves as the backup. Kochetkov should tentatively be considered day-to-day as the regular season gets underway.

Hurricanes' Pyotr Kochetkov: Misses practice
Kochetkov missed Wednesday's practice due to an undisclosed injury, per Ryan Henkel of The Hockey News.
It sounds like this is the same injury Kochetkov was dealing with during training camp. The goaltender was able to start in Saturday's exhibition clash against Nashville without issue, but the injury is bothering him again. Kochetkov's availability for Carolina's season opener against New Jersey on Thursday is uncertain as a result. Frederik Andersen will probably start Thursday regardless, but if Kochetkov isn't an option, then Brandon Bussi would slot in as Andersen's understudy.

Hurricanes' Pyotr Kochetkov: In goal for preseason finale
Kochetkov will defend the road net against Nashville on Saturday in exhibition action, per Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site.
Kochetkov missed some time during training camp due to a minor injury, but he will return to the crease in Carolina's preseason finale. He earned a 27-16-3 record with two shutouts, a 2.60 GAA and an .897 save percentage across 47 appearances during the 2024-25 regular season. Kochetkov is poised to split starts with Frederik Andersen in the 2025-26 campaign.

Hurricanes' Pyotr Kochetkov: Available Saturday
Kochetkov (undisclosed) is slated to be in the lineup versus the Predators on Saturday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
The Canes haven't named a starter yet, but based on the roster, it will be either Kochetkov or Cayden Primeau. Regardless of who starts Saturday's preseason finale, it will almost certainly be Frederik Andersen who gets the nod for Opening Night versus New Jersey on Thursday. Still, Kochetkov should see plenty of work even as the backup to the oft-injured Andersen.

Hurricanes' Pyotr Kochetkov: Back skating
Kochetkov (undisclosed) skated with the non-game group Monday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
Carolina has been extremely cautious with injuries during training camp, and Kochetkov had been off the ice since Thursday due to a minor issue. If he doesn't return to the lineup for Saturday's preseason finale in Nashville, he still could be an option for Opening Night on Oct. 9 versus New Jersey.

Hurricanes' Pyotr Kochetkov: Won't suit up against Bolts
Kochetkov (undisclosed) will not be in the crease versus the Lightning on Friday, Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site reports.
Kochetkov may not have featured in Friday's game even if he was healthy, considering the Hurricanes are heading into a back-to-back versus Nashville and Florida on Sunday and Monday, respectively. The 26-year-old netminder will likely enter the 2025-26 season as the No. 2 behind Frederik Andersen, though it could work out to more of an even split share between the duo.

Hurricanes' Pyotr Kochetkov: Dealing with minor injury
Head coach Rod Brind'Amour said Thursday that Kochetkov is dealing with a minor injury, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.
While the exact nature of Kochetkov's injury isn't yet clear, it seems unlikely that the issue will force him to miss too much time, and he should tentatively be considered day-to-day. Kochetkov went 27-16-3 with a 2.60 GAA and .897 save percentage over 47 regular-season appearances last year, and assuming he's healthy for the start of the 2025-26 campaign, he should split playing time with Frederik Andersen.

Hurricanes' Pyotr Kochetkov: Yields six goals in loss
Kochetkov allowed six goals on 28 shots in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Panthers in Game 3.

Hurricanes' Pyotr Kochetkov: Tending twine in Game 3
Kochetkov will defend the road net against Florida on Saturday in Game 3, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.
Kochetkov has a 1-0 record with a 2.57 GAA and an .891 save percentage in three appearances this postseason. After Frederik Andersen got the hook in Game 2, the 25-year-old Kochetkov stopped four of the five shots he faced in relief in Thursday's 5-0 loss to the Panthers. Florida has the second-most goals per game (3.93) in the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Hurricanes' Pyotr Kochetkov: Allows one goal in relief
Kochetkov stopped four of five shots in relief Thursday in a 5-0 loss to the Panthers in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
The Canes simply could not deal with the Panthers' pressure game, and they left starter Frederik Andersen high and dry. Kochetkov came into the game to start the third with his team down 4-0, and the Panthers scored a power-play goal at 13:49 to seal the victory. Expect Andersen back in the net for Game 3; Kotchetkov is a solid netminder, but this team -- and its success -- belongs to Andersen.

Hurricanes' Pyotr Kochetkov: Rallies for 2OT win Tuesday
Kochetkov stopped 31 shots Tuesday in the Hurricanes' 5-4 double-overtime win over the Devils in Game 5 of their first-round series.
Making his first start of the playoffs in place of Frederik Andersen (undisclosed), Kochetkov watched New Jersey grab a 3-0 lead before the halfway mark of the first period on two deflected goals and a third that came after a giveaway at the Carolina blue line. The 25-year-old netminder didn't lose his focus though, and he stood tall as the 'Canes dominated the game beginning in the third period. The win advances Carolina to the second round, but with Andersen's status uncertain, Kochetkov may return to the bench when the team resumes play against either Washington or Montreal.

Hurricanes' Pyotr Kochetkov: Set to start Game 5
Kochetkov is expected to patrol the home crease against New Jersey on Tuesday in Game 5, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.
Kochetkov stopped 14 of 15 shots he faced in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Devils after Frederik Andersen (undisclosed) left Game 4 due to an injury. With Andersen unavailable for Tuesday's matchup, Spencer Martin will be Kochetkov's backup versus New Jersey. The 25-year-old Kochetkov posted a 27-16-3 record with two shutouts, a 2.60 GAA and an .897 save percentage across 47 regular-season appearances in 2024-25.

Hurricanes' Pyotr Kochetkov: Makes relief appearance in Game 4
Kochetkov made 14 saves on 15 shots after coming on in relief for Frederik Andersen (undisclosed) in the second period of Sunday's 5-2 win over New Jersey in Game 4.
Kochetkov allowed a goal to Timo Meier shortly after replacing Andersen, but the Hurricanes took control the rest of the way and beat Jacob Markstrom twice in the final frame. Kochetkov was not credited with the victory in this contest, but he may have a chance to clinch the series win in Game 5 on Tuesday if Andersen is unavailable. Over seven career postseason appearances, the 25-year-old Kochetkov has a 1-4 record, .870 save percentage and 3.73 GAA.

Hurricanes' Pyotr Kochetkov: Downed by Habs on Wednesday
Kochetkov stopped 17 of 20 shots in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Canadiens, with Montreal's final goal getting scored into an empty net.
With nothing on the line in their second-last game of the regular season, the Hurricanes rested a number of skaters and didn't provide Kochetkov with his usual support. It's the 25-year-old netminder's third loss in his last four starts, and over his last seven outings he's stumbled to a 3.91 GAA and .832 save percentage. Frederik Andersen has been marginally better during that stretch (2.80 GAA, .885 save percentage in his last six starts), but it's not yet clear which goalie Carolina will have between the pipes when the team kicks off its playoff run against New Jersey.
