Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Pyotr Kochetkov (undisclosed) won't dress for Thursday's meeting with the New Jersey Devils. According to Hurricanes head coach Rod Brind'Amour, Kochetkov is "nicked up" and will be re-evaluated on Friday. His absence gives Brandon Bussi the backup job on Thursday night. Carolina picked up Bussi off waivers on Oct. 5. The 27-year-old has yet to play in the NHL. Given Bussi's lack of experience, it will be crucial for the team that Frederik Andersen stays healthy. The Danish veteran has made only 38 starts over the past two seasons.--Taavi Pailk
