Pyotr Kochetkov dazzles with shutout in return

Pyotr Kochetkov earned a shutout victory in his return to the NHL on Thursday, turning aside all 19 shots he faced in the 1-0 win over the Flyers.
Fantasy Impact:
Kochetkov was back up with the big league club with the Canes needing a goaltender after the injury to Antti Raanta. They elected to give Kochetkov the start over Frederik Andersen in this one, and he rewarded the team for their decision. While Raanta is not expected to be out long, this remains a fluid situation that should be monitored closely. Kochetkov easily offers the most upside of the three, but may be clogged by the veterans ahead of him on the depth chart. On the year, the rookie improved to 11-4-5 with a 2.21 GAA and a .917 SV%, and a whopping four shutouts.
