RALEIGH, NC. -Just one day after being emergency recalled from the Chicago Wolves (AHL), Pyotr Kochetkov appears in line to start for the Carolina Hurricanes on Friday.

Recalled due to an injury to Antti Raanta (who did not take part in morning skate) Tuesday night in Montreal, tonight would be Kochetkov's 20th game of the season with the Canes. 10-4-5, his .913 save percentage and three shutouts both either lead or are tied for the lead among the team's netminders.
Since being reassigned to Chicago in mid-January, the 22-year-old from Russia went 11-3-1 with a .918 SV% as a member of the Wolves.
