RALEIGH, N.C. — Carolina Hurricanes coach Rod Brind'Amour says goaltender Pyotr Kochetkov is in the concussion protocol. Kochetkov was knocked from Saturday's game against Columbus after a collision with teammate Sean Walker. Brind'Amour didn't have an exact timeline for Kochetkov's return for a team already dealing with injury concerns at the position. The 25-year-old Kochetkov is 10-2-0 this year with a 2.42 goals-against average and a .904 save percentage. The Hurricanes said last week that netminder Frederik Andersen would need knee surgery with a projected recovery time of 8 to 12 weeks.
