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.
On the tail end of a back-to-back, the Canadiens will turn to Primeau in net on Wednesday against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Primeau has struggled this season and as a result has seen very limited action lately. The 25-year-old netminder is sporting an ugly 4.59 GAA and .842 SV% in eight appearances (1-2-1).
Smith re-enters the lineup after sitting out Saturday's game against the Sabres. Klim Kostin will sit in his place.
Jarvis has not played since November 9th, missing seven games, but will draw back into the lineup on Monday night against the Dallas Stars. Prior to getting hurt, Jarvis had 11 points (4G / 7A) in 13 games. He will likely suit up on a line with Martin Necas and Jack Drury.
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.

Smith has not appeared in an NHL game yet this season but has three assists in four AHL games with Chicago.
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.
Jarvis has missed the last seven games with an upper-body injury, but it looks like he'll return Monday vs. the Stars. Prior to getting hurt, Jarvis had 11 points (4G / 7A) in 13 games.
Valimaki was a surprise scratch on Thursday, with his absence not being announced prior to warmups. Robert Bortuzzo will enter the lineup in his place.
Will Smith will be sidelined for a maintenance day on Thursday, replaced by Givani Smith. The 26-year-old Givani Smith has scored zero points this season while being limited to only four games.
Originally expected to be a minor injury, the Hurricanes have revealed that Andersen will be sidelined for approximately 8-12 weeks after undergoing a procedure on his knee. Pyotr Kochetkov has filled in admirably in Andersen's absence and should continue to do so with Spencer Martin as his backup.
Jarvis will miss a fifth straight game on Wednesday but appears to be nearing a return from his upper-body injury. The 22-year-old Jarvis has 11 points (4G / 7A) in 13 games this season.
The Hurricanes will turn to Kochetkov between the pipes again on Wednesday for his seventh start of November. The 25-year-old Kochetkov has been winning all season but has been especially dominant lately. In his first five games (4-1-0), Kochetkov was sporting a subpar .891 SV%, in contrast to the .915 SV% he has in six games since (5-1-0). The Hurricanes enter Wednesday's contest as sizeable -228 road favorites against the Philadelphia Flyers.
Hall was a healthy scratch on Saturday but will draw back into the lineup on Tuesday against the Anaheim Ducks. The 2017-18 Hart Trophy winner has struggled with the Blackhawks, scoring only six points (2G / 4A) in 17 games while averaging a career-low 15:10 time-on-ice.
Reilly has been out of the lineup for all of November after suffering a concussion. He has since recovered from the concussion but will be out of the lineup indefinitely after he undergoes a procedure on his heart on Tuesday.
Kochetkov exited Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Utah Hockey Club due to an undisclosed injury, did not play on Saturday but will return to the crease on Sunday. The 25-year-old Kochetkov has been solid between the pipes for the Hurricanes this season, posting a 2.56 GAA and .897 SV% in 10 games (8-2-0).
