Kochetkov suffers first loss as Predators down Hurricanes 4-1
Eventually the Hurricanes were going to lose again.
One of the biggest truisms in the NHL is that good goaltending will beat just about anyone, especially on any given night. For the Hurricanes, Juuse Saros is on the list of players who just manage to elevate to a different level when they are across the ice. It happened again Tuesday Night as he made 29 saves in a 4-1 Nashville win over Carolina.
On the other side, Pyotr Kochetkov did what he could to keep Carolina into the game, but his 16 saves were not enough as frustration mounted and despite dominating the first period Carolina went into the locker room down 1-0.
