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.

His career numbers are 15-7-5 with a .908 save percentage and a 2.43 GAA. This year with, Syracuse has made one start, going 1-0-0 with a .912 save percentage and a 2.79 GAA.
