PHILADELPHIA – Pyotr Kochetkov will be back between the pipes for the first time since Dec. 20, 2025, on Saturday, when the Carolina Hurricanes take on the Philadelphia Flyers.<\/p>\n

Healthy and ready to roll, the backstop made two appearances during the preseason, including a win over the Nashville Predators in Greensboro.<\/p>\n

In front of him, Rod Brind’Amour told reporters pregame that Mike Reilly\u00a0might make his season debut on the blue line. He did not specify who would come out, or if the team would roll 11 forwards and seven defensemen.<\/p>\n

Reilly played 42 games last season, and dressed for two more during the team’s run to the Stanley Cup.<\/p>\n

“He knows how to play. That position is a tough one when you’re in and out. You have to be able to handle that properly, and that’s what being a pro is all about. He’s definitely that,” Brind’Amour said of the veteran blueliner.<\/p>\n

You can catch all the action tonight at 7 p.m. on Hurricanes Hockey Network.<\/a><\/p>\n

PP2: Ehlers, Hall,\u00a0Jankowski (Staal), and Stankoven with Miller<\/p>\n

Jordan Staal has been taking the faceoffs to start most power plays. If he wins it, he’ll stay on the ice. When the puck comes out of the zone, he jumps off, and Nikolaj Ehlers jumps on with the first unit. When with the second unit, Mark\u00a0Jankowski jumps on when Staal goes off.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PHILADELPHIA – Pyotr Kochetkov will be back between the pipes for the first time since Dec. 20, 2025,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":299419,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[69,71,70],"class_list":["post-299418","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia-headlines","tag-philadelphia-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/299418","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=299418"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/299418\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/299419"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=299418"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=299418"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=299418"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
