Pyotr Kochetkov

Pyotr Kochetkov stopped 18 of 21 shots in Saturday’s 6-3 loss to the Maple Leafs. Two of Toronto’s goals came on empty nets, and one was an own goal.

Fantasy Impact

It was a rough start for Kochetkov, as he found himself down 4-0 before the first period ended. While the Hurricanes rallied late, it wasn’t enough to overcome the early deficit. Despite the loss, Kochetkov has been relatively steady, going 5-2-2 over his last nine appearances while allowing 24 goals in that span. His role remains fluid in Carolina’s crease, making him more of a streaming option in favorable matchups rather than a locked-in fantasy starter.

Kochetkov turned aside 36 of 39 shots for a .923 save percentage in the Hurricanes’ 7-3 triumph. He allowed three even-strength goals but denied all seven power-play opportunities faced, helping Carolina secure the win.

Fantasy Impact

Kochetkov’s outing highlights his capacity to shoulder a heavy workload when called upon. While he may share time in the crease, he has the potential for solid peripherals behind Carolina’s stout defense. He’s worth considering as a streaming option or a promising tandem piece in many formats.

Kochetkov made 18 saves in Thursday's 3-2 victory over Chicago.

Fantasy Impact

Kochetkov allowed a pair of breakaway goals but remained solid otherwise, securing his third win in his last four starts. Since Frederik Andersen’s return, Kochetkov has settled into a timeshare, posting a 3-0-1 record with a 1.99 GAA and a .921 save percentage in that stretch. He continues to be a viable fantasy option despite the reduced workload.

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.

Pyotr Kochetkov stopped 22 of 23 shots in the Hurricanes' 2-1 victory over the Stars on Tuesday. The 25-year-old allowed a third-period goal to Thomas Harley but was backed by a quick response from Carolina’s offense to secure the win.

Fantasy Impact

Kochetkov continues to provide steady goaltending, improving to 18-9-2 with a 2.47 GAA and a .904 save percentage over 30 appearances this season. While the Hurricanes have been rotating starts between Kochetkov and Frederik Andersen, the young netminder remains a reliable fantasy option in favorable matchups. If the rotation holds, Kochetkov’s next opportunity could come Saturday against the Islanders, making him a viable streaming choice for managers in need of goaltending depth.
