Story summary

The Carolina Hurricanes signed goaltender Pyotr Kochetkov to a two-year extension on Friday, ensuring he will remain with the team through the 2028-29 season. The contract has an average annual value of $3.95 million, with Kochetkov set to earn $2 million in 2027-28 and $3 million in 2028-29, including signing bonuses.

Kochetkov, a 27-year-old netminder who was due to become an unrestricted free agent, played only nine games last season because of a lower-body injury. Despite his limited appearances, the Hurricanes value his aggressive playing style and believe in his ability to help them win championships. This signing solidifies Kochetkov's partnership with Brandon Bussi for this upcoming season, as they aim to defend their Stanley Cup title won last year when Bussi clinched it with a shutout against Vegas.
