Stankoven (lower-body) will return on Monday in Utah.

Stankoven has missed the last two games due to a lower-body injury but will re-enter the lineup on Monday against the Utah Hockey Club. The 21-year-old Stankoven is in the mix for the Calder Trophy, with 15 points (4G / 11A) in 21 games but has been held off the scoresheet in five of his last six.

Kochetkov (concussion) is a possibility to return on Tuesday vs. Seattle.

Kochetkov has not played since November 23rd due to a concussion but his presence at practice along with Yaniv Perets being reassigned to the Chicago Wolves (AHL) is an indication that he is likely on route to return to the crease. The 25-year-old Kochetkov has a 2.42 GAA and .904 SV% in 13 appearances this season (10-2-0).

Perets has been reassigned to Chicago (AHL).

Perets was recalled last week after Pyotr Kochetkov suffered an upper-body injury. His reassignment to the AHL is likely an indication that Kochetkov is ready to return to the lineup. Perets is 1-2-0 with a 3.67 GAA and .825 SV% with the Chicago Wolves (AHL) this season.

Yaniv Perets
Kochetkov is considered doubtful to play Saturday in Florida.

Kochetkov left last Saturday's game in overtime following a collision with Zach Werenski and has not suited up since, leaving the Hurricanes goaltending duties to Spencer Martin, who got the nod against the Panthers on Friday. Assuming Kochetkov is unavailable, then the Hurricanes will have to choose between starting Martin on back-to-back days or handing Yaniv Perets the first start of his NHL career.

Kochetkov (concussion) is improving and has a chance to return on Saturday in Florida.

Kochetkov left last Saturday's game in overtime following a collision with Zach Werenski and has not suited up since, leaving the Hurricanes goaltending duties to Spencer Martin. Martin will tend the twine again on Friday but the 25-year-old Kochetkov could be ready to suit up on Saturday.

Stankoven (undisclosed) is out vs. Colorado on Friday and considered day-to-day.

Stankoven is battling an undisclosed ailment and will miss his first game of the season on Friday. The 21-year-old rookie has 15 points (4G / 11A) in 21 games this season. Roope Hintz (undisclosed) will draw back into the lineup for the Stars.

Kochetkov (concussion) is out vs. New York on Wednesday but only considered day-to-day.

Kochetkov left Saturday's game in overtime following a collision with Zach Werenski. The Hurricanes recalled Yaniv Perets from Chicago (AHL) on Sunday, who has served as the backup to Spencer Martin since Kochetkov's absence. Martin will likely tend the twine again on Wednesday but the 25-year-old Kochetkov could be ready to suit up this weekend.

Pyotr Kochetkov
Kochetkov is out indefinitely as he remains in concussion protocol.

Kochetkov left Saturday's game in overtime following a collision with Zach Werenski. The Hurricanes recalled Yaniv Perets from Chicago (AHL) on Sunday, suggesting that Kochetkov won't be available for Monday's game vs. Dallas. The Hurricanes have yet to provide an update on Kochetkov, but it would be a crushing blow if he misses an extended period of time. The Hurricanes are already without Frederik Andersen (knee) for the next 8-to-12 weeks. Expect Spencer Martin to see the majority of time in the Hurricanes' crease with Kochetkov sidelined.

The Hurricanes have recalled Yaniv Perets from Chicago (AHL).

Pyotr Kochetkov left Saturday's game with an upper-body injury following a collision and Perets' call-up suggests that Kochetkov won't be available for Monday's game. Perets, who is 1-2-0 with a 3.67 GAA and .825 SV% in the AHL this season, will likely serve exclusively as Spencer Martin's backup.
