Rookie goalie Pyotr Kochetkov of the Carolina Hurricanes won his NHL debut Saturday against the New Jersey Devils, not that he had anything to say about it after the game.
Kochetkov speaks no English, but he will have a lot to tell his family and friends in Russia about the way the Canes pulled out a 3-2 overtime victory after a third-period rally.
The Canes trailed 2-0 in the third period, but Brady Skjei's score with 4:36 left in regulation and then a goal by Nino Niederreiter with 1:56 left tied it. Skejii had his shot go off a New Jersey defender while Niederreiter knocked in a rebound.
