Carolina Hurricanes 3 – Chicago Blackhawks 0
Highlights: Rookie Pyotr Kochetkov made 27 saves for his first career shutout, and the Carolina Hurricanes beat the Chicago Blackhawks 3-0 on Monday night. Jordan Martinook and Jordan Staal each had a goal and an assist for Carolina (10-5-1). Andrei Svechnikov scored his team-leading 12th goal, and Brent Burns had two assists. Kochetkov wasn’t heavily tested throughout the game, but made some timely close-in stops in his second start this season and fifth game of his career. Chicago had its best chances in the third period as Kochetkov seemed to get even sharper. The 23-year-old Kochetkov is the first goalie in Hurricanes/Hartford Whalers franchise history to win his first five regular-season games. The 6-foot-3 native of Penza, Russia, made two starts last season. Read more at: https://www.espn.com/nhl/recap/_/gameId/401458834 (AP)
