Pyotr Kochetkov

Pyotr Kochetkov allowed three goals on 20 shots in Tuesday's 4-0 loss to the Lightning.

Fantasy Impact

Kochetkov received no help in this one, but he also did not have his best night in net. He and Frederik Andersen may split starts the rest of the way to keep the latter fresh for the playoffs, which may give Kochetkov a chance to be a productive goalie for Fantasy down the stretch here. He fell to 12-7-5 with a 2.43 GAA and a .909 SV%. He remains a deep-league streaming option or a strong handcuff if you also roster Andersen.

Pyotr Kocehtkov allowed three goals on 44 shots in the 5-3 win over the Maple Leafs.

Kochetkov flashed his potential and stole the win in a huge game for the Canes. Kochetkov improved to 12-6-5 with a 2.41 GAA and a .911 SV%. At this point, he is currently the backup to Frederik Andersen in Carolina. He is only a streaming option or a handcuff if you also roster Andersen. Regardless, he is the goalie of the future for the Canes and is an extremely valuable piece in keeper or dynasty formats.

Pyotr Kochetkov earned the loss on Friday, allowing five goals on 22 shots in the 5-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.

Fantasy Impact

Kochetkov has now lost two straight games since his dominant shutout in his return. He is clearly the backup to Frederik Andersen at this time, which does put a cap on his Fantasy ceiling. Kochetkov is a great handcuff if you also roster Andersen, and works well as a streamer if you're in need of a goalie on a day that he starts. His numbers fell to 11-6-5 with a 2.38 GAA and a .909 SV%.

Pyotr Kochetkov allowed three goals on 23 shots in Sunday's 3-0 loss to the Devils.

Fantasy Impact

The Canes could not manage to beat Vitek Vanecek in this one despite throwing everything they had at him. This lead to a quiet night for Kochetkov, and he let in three goals that he will probably want back. He was not at his best, and it comes at an unfortunate time as he truly needed to force the Canes' hand if he wanted a shot at staying on the main roster. His shutout the other night was impressive, but nights like this will erase any progress a young goaltender has made. It remains to be seen what the Canes will do when Antti Raanta is healthy, but monitor this situation closely for now. Kochetkov fell to 11-5-5 with a 2.25 GAA and a .915 SV%.

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.
