Hurricanes Switch Goalies for Game 3, Starting Kochetkov over Andersen Against Panthers
- For the third match in the Eastern Conference finals, the Carolina Hurricanes opted to start Pyotr Kochetkov as their goaltender against the Florida Panthers on Saturday.
- Coach Rod Brind'Amour made the goalie switch to change the team's momentum after Frederik Andersen allowed nine goals in the first two games.
- Kochetkov, who made his NHL debut in 2022 and was drafted in 2019, previously had strong regular-season performances against Florida and a 2.48 goals-against average.
- Kochetkov allowed five third-period goals as Florida won 6-2, taking a 3-0 lead in the series; Brind'Amour said, "Just change the vibe a little bit."
- The goalie change reflects Carolina's effort to improve saves despite previous struggles, but the loss increased Florida's commanding position in the Eastern Conference finals.
