The Winnipeg Jets lost 7–0 to Carolina on November 1, their ninth consecutive game without a win, as Kochetkov earned his tenth victory of the season.
Carolina routs Winnipeg in Sunday matinee
The Carolina Hurricanes defeated the Winnipeg Jets 7–0 at Lenovo Center in Raleigh on Sunday, November 1. According to the official NHL recap, Carolina goaltender Pyotr Kochetkov made 26 saves for a shutout while earning his 10th straight victory to start the season. Jets goalie Stuart Skinner allowed five goals on 17 shots and was replaced midway through the second period. The result leaves Winnipeg at 4–8–3, with a 0–7–2 record over its last nine games.
Walker's two goals lead seven-goal outburst
Defenceman Sean Walker opened the scoring short-handed during the first period and scored again during Carolina's four-goal second period. Juuso Välimäki, Sebastian Aho and Logan Stankoven also scored during that middle frame, putting the Hurricanes ahead 5–0 by the 9:09 mark. Mark Jankowski and Jesperi Kotkaniemi added third-period goals. Stankoven finished with a goal and two assists, and Walker had his first two-goal outing in two seasons with Carolina.
A goalie milestone and Winnipeg's next challenge
Kochetkov became the third NHL goaltender, according to the league, to win each of his first 10 games of a season, joining Jack Campbell and Carey Price in that particular milestone. The Jets are due to visit the Montréal Canadiens Tuesday, November 3, according to the official recap. Sunday's shutout is a separate newly completed game from CDN News's prior articles on Winnipeg's earlier losses, so it is not a recycled report or a change to the date of those earlier stories.
