PHILADELPHIA - The Carolina Hurricanes will go with Pyotr Kochetkov between the pipes on Wednesday as they take on the Philadelphia Flyers.
After missing one game due to injury, the 25-year-old returned on Sunday, stopping 29 out of 30 in a win over St. Louis.
Kochetkov is 9-2 through 11 games this season and is 3-1 against Philadelphia in his young career.
In front of him, the team will stick with the same cast of skaters that's led them to back-to-back victories. Martin Necas will try to match the Canes' longest point streak (since relocation) as he tries to find the scoresheet for a 14th consecutive game.
Seth Jarvis (upper-body injury) will not play and did not travel with the team, but Rod Brind'Amour said pre-game that it is an option for the forward to meet the team on the trip.
