Hurricanes Head Coach Rod Brind'Amour has rotated goalies almost evenly in recent seasons, but Pyotr Kochetkov's outstanding early-season performances have led him to deviate from the plan. The 27-year-old goalie returns to the crease on Tuesday for a fifth straight start. The 27-year-old goalie is coming off a 26-save shutout, his second of the season, in a 7-0 win over the Winnipeg Jets. The Hurricanes enter Tuesday's game as sizeable -196 road favourites against a Nashville Predators team coming off a 5-4 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Pohlkhamp made his professional debut last season with the San Jose Barracuda (AHL) after completing his collegiate hockey career. The 22-year-old defenseman has yet to play an NHL game and has seven assists this season in 10 games with the Barracuda.

Myatovic was drafted 33rd-overall by the Ducks in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft, but he has yet to make his NHL debut. The 21-year-old forward has eight points (5G / 3A) this season in 11 games with the San Diego Gulls (AHL).

Groulx has spent most of his career in the AHL, but started the 2026-27 campaign with the Maple Leafs. He will head back to the Marlies (AHL), where he has 52 points (28G / 24A) last season in 59 games.

Clarke left practice early on Monday and did not return, but will be ready to play on Wednesday against the San Jose Sharks. The 23-year-old Clarke was recently demoted from the top powerplay unit, replaced by Erik Gustafsson, but is still having a solid season, with 10 points (3G / 7A) in 13 games.

Brossoit returned last season after nearly a two-year injury absence. The 33-year-old goalie has spent most of his time in the AHL since then, but is trying to make the most of an opportunity with a Ducks team that has struggled between the pipes. In his only game this season, Brossoit saved 20 of 23 shots (.870 SV%) in a 6-3 win over the Ottawa Senators. The Ducks enter Tuesday's game as -153 road favourites against a Vancouver Canucks team that has scored two or fewer goals in four of their last five (1-4-0).

Hall hasn't played since suffering an upper-body injury on October 13th. He has been a full participant at practice since Monday, but Head Coach Rod Brind'Amour said he will likely miss at least one more game. The 34-year-old Hall has five points (3G / 2A) in eight games this season and hopes to continue as an effective depth contributor for the Hurricanes.

Cossa made his NHL debut with the Detroit Red Wings last season, playing one game, but this season has been his first full-time exposure at the NHL level. The 23-year-old goalie has had some solid outings, but has been inconsistent between the pipes, posting a subpar 3.20 GAA and .855 SV% in five appearances (3-1-0). That said, he was solid in his most recent outing, saving 30 of 33 shots (.909 SV%) in a 4-3 overtime win over the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Mammoth enter Tuesday's game as -128 road favourites against a Toronto Maple Leafs team that is 1-2-0 in their last three games.

Beniers did not practice on Sunday due to an undisclosed injury, but he was back with the team on Tuesday. The 23-year-old Beniers is averaging 17:43 time-on-ice and has seven points (3G / 4A) in 14 games this season. Seattle returns to action on Wednesday against the Calgary Flames.
