“After last season, I never think about ‘I want this many games,’ or stuff like that,” Kochetkov said. “I just try and think about practice, recovery and next day. Nothing more because all my career, I looked too far every time. At first, I want to go to the NHL. After that it’s I want to be first goalie, I want to play more, blah, blah. When you’re older and you see a little bit of a different angle of your life and your game, now I just want to be excited for what I do and play games. That’s what I think about.”
