Pyotr Kochetkov to Start Saturday vs. Lightning on Back-to-Back

Pyotr Kochetkov will protect the road goal for the Carolina Hurricanes against the Lightning on Saturday, as reported by Walt Ruff. The 26-year-old netminder gets the second half of a back-to-back after Brandon Bussi's shootout loss on Friday. Kochetkov has won his last two starts, stopping 40 of 44 shots. He faces a Lightning team that has struggled with consistent scoring, netting 13 goals in their last four games, with eight coming in a single contest.
