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.
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.

With Pyotr Kochetkov (undisclosed) doubt for Saturday's game against the Ottawa Senators, in addition to Frederik Andersen (lower body) being out long-term, the Hurricanes have recalled Perets from the Chicago Wolves (AHL). If Kochetkov is not able to suit up on Saturday, Perets will likely serve as the backup to Spencer Martin. The 24-year-old Perets has a 3.67 GAA and .825 SV% in three games with the Wolves (AHL) this season.
Jarvis was a late scratch on Monday with his absence not being announced prior to warmups, did not play on Wednesday, and will likely miss some more time due to an upper-body injury. The 22-year-old Jarvis has 11 points (4G / 7A) in 13 games this season.
Kochetkov left Wednesday's game against Utah HC, leaving the contest after allowing three goals on 18 shots (.833 SV%), due to an undisclosed injury. If Kochetkov is unable to play on Saturday, expect the Hurricanes to recall a goalie to serve as the backup to Spencer Martin.
Smith was the 17th overall pick of the New Jersey Devils in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft but has had trouble establishing himself at the NHL level. The 24-year-old puck-moving defenseman has not played an NHL game since a nine-game stint with the Pittsburgh Penguins in the 2022-23 season.
Kochetkov did not finish Wednesday's game against Utah HC, leaving the contest after allowing three goals on 18 shots (.833 SV%), due to an undisclosed injury. The Hurricanes do not practice on Thursday so an update will likely not be available until Friday. With Frederik Andersen (lower body) already sidelined, the Hurricanes might have to rely on Spencer Martin to tend the twine in the interim if Kochetkov's injury lingers.
The Hurricanes' eight-game winning streak was snapped on Saturday, but they returned to the win column after Kochetkov saved 30 of 32 shots (.938 SV%) in a 5-2 win over the Vegas Golden Knights on Monday. The 25-year-old Kochetkov has been solid for the Hurricanes this season, especially stepping up in the absence of Frederik Andersen (lower body), posting a .911 SV% during a seven-game winning streak. The Hurricanes enter Wednesday's contest as sizeable -197 road favorites against the Utah Hockey Club.
