Kochetkov has been tremendous lately and will start for the third straight game on Thursday as he searches for his third consecutive win. Kochetkov had a rough start to the season as he bounced back and forth between the AHL and NHL as the Hurricanes rotated three goaltenders but has found his footing since Frederik Andersen has been unable to play, recording a stellar .929 SV% in five appearances (3-1-0). The Hurricanes are -182 home favourites against a New York Islanders team that has lost two straight games and ranks third-worst in the league offensively (2.62 GF / GP).

Svechnikov was a last-minute healthy scratch on Tuesday due to an illness but is expected to return on Thursday against the New York Islanders. Svechnikov is coming off his best performance of the season, scoring two points (1G / 1A), his first goal, adding to his nine-point output (1G / 8A) through 12 games. The talented 23-year-old winger is still re-acclimating to the game after missing an extended period due to knee surgery and is averaging only 16:20 time-on-ice, nearly a full two minutes less than his totals from last season.

Svechnikov was a late scratch for Tuesday's game with the team making the announcement a little over 30 minutes before puck drop. The 2018 second-overall pick has one goal and eight assists in 12 games this season. His first chance to return to the Hurricanes' lineup will be Thursday's game against the Islanders.

Kochetkov will take the Hurricanes' crease for a second straight start after stopping 21 of 23 shots (.913 SV%) in a victory over Columbus last game. The 24-year-old has mostly struggled in 2023-24, with his 2-4-0 record, 2.91 GAA and .881 SV%. He heads to Philadelphia to take on the Flyers who have won six of their last eight games and are fifth in the NHL in shots per game (32.3).

Raanta exited Wednesday's contest for precautionary reasons associated with a lower-body concern but seems no worse for wear as he will start on Friday against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Injury concerns are always a worry with Raanta, but so long as he is healthy, he should continue to see a fair share of action in the Hurricanes crease. In his last six outings (5-1-0), Raanta has allowed only 12 goals and registered a .912 SV%, strong numbers for any netminder on a Hurricanes team that leads the league in shot suppression (25.8 SA / GP).

Raanta has won four of his last five starts (4-1-0), most recently a 26-save performance (.929 SV%) in a 4-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins, and will start for the second consecutive game when the Hurricanes host the Edmonton Oilers. Raanta has seen a slight edge in playing time over Pyotr Kochetkov since Frederik Andersen was placed on injured reserve, a trend that will likely continue if the veteran goaltender continues to collect victories. The Hurricanes are -140 home favourites against an Oilers team that has lost two straight (0-2-0) but has scored three or more goals in five consecutive outings (3-2-0).

Raanta will get his first start in three games Saturday after losing his previous start vs. Florida on November 10th in a 30-save (.882 SV%) loss. The 34-year-old veteran netminder has failed to impress as a Frederik Andersen (injury) replacement, with his 4-2-0 record, 3.01 GAA, and .877 SV%. He will face Pittsburgh on Saturday, who had a five-game winning streak snapped last game but are still leading the NHL in shots per game (34.6).
