Hurricanes goaltender Pyotr Kochetkov<\/a> is coming off a bit of a quieter year after his save percentage went down from .911 in 2023-24 to just .897 last season.\u00a0 It appears there might be a reason for that as the netminder recently told Sports.ru\u2019s Dmitry Shevchenko<\/a> that he started playing through some injuries in November with some lingering throughout the season; the only time he missed was due to a concussion.\u00a0 Kochetkov is set to partner up with Frederik Andersen<\/a> as the tandem in Carolina once again next season and the Hurricanes will likely be counting on him to play at least 40 games for the third straight year.\u00a0 They\u2019ll be hoping that a healthier Kochetkov will be a better one between the pipes.<\/p>\n

Still with the Hurricanes, prospect Nils Juntorp<\/a> has signed with Boras HC in Sweden\u2019s HockeyEttan, per a team announcement<\/a>. The 21-year-old was a sixth-round pick by Chicago in 2022 and his rights were moved to Carolina in the Mikko Rantanen<\/a> and Taylor Hall<\/a> trade back in January.\u00a0 Juntorp had 20 points in 33 games with HC Dalen last season while also getting into three games at the second-tier Allsvenskan level.
\nAfter spending the last four seasons in Buffalo\u2019s system (including 2024-25 on an NHL contract), free agent forward Mason Jobst<\/a> won\u2019t be returning for a fifth, relays Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Herald<\/a>. The 31-year-old was the captain with AHL Rochester last season and had 37 points in 70 games after putting up 50 points in 64 outings in 2023-24.\u00a0 Jobst has 295 career AHL games under his belt, giving him veteran status which certainly is playing a role in limiting his marketability so far.
\nBlackhawks prospect Nathan Behm<\/a> announced<\/a> on his Instagram page that he has committed to Arizona State University for the 2026-27 season. The winger was a third-round pick back in June, going 66th overall after a solid season with WHL Kamloops that saw him record 31 goals and 35 assists in 59 games.\u00a0 He\u2019ll return to the Blazers for the upcoming season and then kick off his college career the following year.<\/p>\n
