Pyotr Kochetkov allows three goals in overtime loss
by Bruno Mulé | Hurricanes Correspondent | Sun, Jan 26th 12:20pm EST
Pyotr Kochetkov stopped 23 of 26 shots in the Hurricanes' 3-2 overtime loss to the Islanders on Saturday, despite his team taking an early 2-0 lead.
Fantasy Impact:
Kochetkov faltered after a strong start, allowing the Islanders to tie the game in regulation before Brock Nelson's overtime winner sealed the comeback. This marks Kochetkov's second loss in five outings, dropping him to an 18-9-3 record with a 2.48 GAA and a .903 save percentage over 31 starts. If the Hurricanes maintain their rotation, expect Frederik Andersen to start Tuesday versus the Rangers, leaving Kochetkov for a favorable home matchup against the Blackhawks on Thursday.
