Hurricanes’ Kochetkov Has Earned Starting Position

The Carolina Hurricanes are in the middle of a six-game road trip, having just won the first three of the games.

In an impressive fashion, the Hurricanes defeated the Los Angeles Kings by a score of 4-2.

More impressive has been the play of 23-year-old Russian goalkeeper, Pyotr Kochetkov. Kochetkov made 31 saves to secure the victory for the Hurricanes. His fifth victory of the year.

The rookie was called up after Frederik Andersen was injured almost a month ago.

Called up to help the backup goalie, Antti Raanta, from carrying too heavy a load, Kochetkov has seemingly taken the starting position over together.
