Carolina Hurricanes Roster Moves 10/18

Last night, the Carolina Hurricanes pulled out a come-from-behind win over the San Jose Sharks thanks to four goals in the third period from Seth Jarvis, Stefan Noesen, Martin Necas, and Brett Pesce; Jarvis’ goal was his second of the game. The big news was Frederik Andersen, who left in the first period after getting hit in the head. Andersen was replaced by Anti Raanta, who came in 12 of the 14 shots for the win to improve to 1-1-0. Andersen did practice today, but with the Hurricanes playing the Seattle Kraken on Thursday and the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday, they called up Pyotr Kochetkov from the Syracuse Crunch of the AHL.

The next two games are big games against good teams for the Hurricanes; hopefully, the injury to Andersen isn’t severe, but if he does need to miss time, the Hurricanes have a reliable goalie in Kochetkov who can come in and win games for them.
