Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Pyotr Kochetkov made history on Sunday, becoming only the third netminder in NHL history to begin a season with a 10-0 record as Carolina blanked the Winnipeg Jets in Raleigh, North Carolina.

The shutout victory extended Kochetkov's perfect start to the 2026-27 campaign, placing him in elite company among league goaltenders. Following the game, Hurricanes backup Brandon Bussi was seen congratulating Kochetkov on the milestone achievement.

The win keeps the Hurricanes undefeated through their first ten games, with Kochetkov's performance anchoring the team's early-season success.
