NEWARK, N.J. - The Carolina Hurricanes are likely to have Pyotr Kochetkov (14-6-0 | 2.43 GAA | .903 SV%) between the pipes on Friday as they go head-to-head with the New Jersey Devils.
Kochetkov will try for his 15th win of the season, looking to follow up a 22-save win over the Rangers just five days ago. In that effort, he also became the first NHL goaltender this season to record multiple points.
As for the cast of skaters in front of him, Sebastian Aho went into the holiday break hot, recording points in five consecutive games. Jack Roslovic, who is expected to be skating alongside Aho at five-on-five tonight, enters with points in back-to-back contests.
