The Carolina Hurricanes were forced to turn to their third-string goalie on Wednesday night.
Boston Bruins forward David Pastrnak caught Antti Raanta in the mask with his hand as he skated by. Raanta dropped to the ice, had a cut on his mouth, left the game and didn't return. Pyotr Kochetkov, 22, entered the net for Carolina.
A five-minute major was originally called but on review, it was changed to a two-minute minor for goalie interference. It was the second consecutive day in which a backup goalie had to enter the game because of an injury. Tuesday, Pittsburgh Penguins goalie Louis Domingue wasafter Casey DeSmith left. Domingue made 17 saves to pick up the win against the New York Rangers.
David Pastrnak is ultimately given a 2-minute penalty for goaltender interference on Antti Raanta, who has left the ice.
