The Carolina Hurricanes have a real gem in the net with Pyotr Kochetkov. He has shown flashes of brilliance this season and could be a special talent.
Recently, Kochetkov was on a tear in his first real stint in the NHL before giving way for Antti Raanta in a streak of games.
Did Rod Brind’Amour do a disservice to Kochetkov?
The young, rising star has struggled in his return to the crease, and to no surprise, the Hurricanes have also struggled. Since ending their incredible winning streak, the Hurricanes have lost three straight.
During the incredible streak in December, Raanta contributed greatly but Kochetkov won the NHL rookie of the month for a reason.
