Status report
Kochetkov is expected to start after Raanta made 20 saves in a 4-3 loss at the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday. ... Pesce, who did not practice Monday due to an illness, was a full participant in the Hurricanes morning skate Tuesday but is questionable to dress, coach Rod Brind’Amour said; If Pesce cannot play, DeAngelo, a defenseman, will take his place. … Noesen will take Bunting’s spot on the first line. … An MRI Monday indicated Svechnikov will “be out probably for at least a while,” Brind’Amour said. The forward has missed two games. ... The Senators will dress the same lineup they used in a 5-1 win at the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday. ... Kastelic, a forward, was a full participant in practice for the second straight day, but will miss his 14th straight game; he likely will return sometime during Ottawa's upcoming five-game road trip, coach D.J. Smith said.
