Hurricanes Bet on Kochetkov for Back-to-Back Starts
14 Oct
Summary
- Kochetkov starts consecutive games for Carolina.
- He holds a 3-1-2 record against Washington.
- Carolina leads the Metro Division standings.
The Carolina Hurricanes, currently leading the Metro Division, are gearing up for a home matchup against the Washington Capitals on Tuesday evening. As part of the NHL's Frozen Frenzy, the Hurricanes announced their starting goaltender decision just before the game.
Pyotr Kochetkov will be between the pipes for the second game in a row. In his previous three starts this season, Kochetkov has allowed only five goals on 57 shots. He also boasts a 3-1-2 record in previous regular-season contests against the Capitals, with a strong save percentage.
This marks a significant test for Kochetkov as he makes back-to-back starts, with his recent performance against the Philadelphia Flyers on Sunday being a strong indicator of his form. The Hurricanes' overall winning streak adds to the anticipation of this division showdown.
