Carolina Hurricanes Sign Goalie Pyotr Kochetkov to Two-Year Extension
The deal keeps Kochetkov in Carolina as the Hurricanes pair him with Brandon Bussi after he missed most of last season with a lower-body injury.
- On Friday, the Carolina Hurricanes announced a two-year contract extension for goaltender Pyotr Kochetkov with an average annual value of $3.95 million, securing the 27-year-old through the 2028-29 season.
- Financial terms for the deal include a $2.4 million salary with a $1.5 million signing bonus for 2027-28, then $3 million salary and $1 million signing bonus for 2028-29.
- Drafted in 2019, the Russian netminder holds a 2.46 GAA and.904 save percentage in 125 games, though Kochetkov missed most of the 2025-26 campaign with a lower-body injury.
- General Manager Eric Tulsky praised Kochetkov's "aggressive style," saying the team believes in his ability to win games. Kochetkov will form a tandem with Brandon Bussi, who helped clinch the franchise's second Cup title.
- The defending Stanley Cup champion Hurricanes open their 2026-27 regular season on Tuesday against the Florida Panthers in Raleigh, with Kochetkov anchoring the team's title defense.
