Pyotr Kochetkov stopped all 26 shots he faced Sunday, November 1 in Carolina's 7-0 victory over Winnipeg. The shutout win came in 59:58 of ice time and marked a clean performance against a Jets team held scoreless.

The shutout arrives as Kochetkov works with a 51% start share in his recent sample, suggesting he splits time roughly evenly. A win this decisive could push his workload higher, though his save quality grades only 19 out of 100 among goalies for goals saved above expected and high-danger saves.

Kochetkov's 26-save shutout Sunday, November 1 in the 7-0 win over Winnipeg represents exactly the kind of performance that can shift a split workload. He has started 51% of games in his recent sample, a near-even timeshare, and now carries a 2.55 goals-against average with a .900 save percentage. With Carolina playing four times this week on Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, the Hurricanes have plenty of opportunity to ride the hot hand.

The troubling number is his process rating of 19 out of 100 among goalies, measuring goals saved above expected and high-danger saves. That grade suggests he has been fortunate rather than dominant across his recent 92-game sample. Still, a 26-save shutout against Winnipeg is tangible production, and Carolina's offensive support makes any goalie sharing their net a viable streamer when he gets the call.

What to do

• Stream Kochetkov in his next confirmed start after the shutout performance earned him consideration for more work.

• Monitor Carolina's goalie deployment this week with four games on the schedule (Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday).

• Temper expectations given his 19-out-of-100 save quality grade despite the strong 2.55 goals-against average and .900 save percentage.
