Kochetkov allowed three goals on 41 shots but was the unlucky overtime loser for his fourth straight defeat as he took on Boston in his previous start.

He takes on the Pittsburgh Penguins, who are ninth in the NHL in both goals per game (3.45) and shots per game (33.0).

Jost will head to the press box yet again Tuesday after being a healthy scratch for the Wilds' last two games. The seven-year veteran has struggled this season, collecting three assists and a -4 plus/minus along with 10 SOG through 11 games played at the bottom of Minnesota's lineup.
