Langhamer’s return to the AHL suggests that the Coyotes may be getting Antti Raanta back in time for Thursday’s game in Boston. Langhamer stopped all 10 shots that he faced in relief of Scott Wedgewood on November 25th but that was the only action that he saw. He returns to the Roadrunners where he is 1-0-1 with a 1.59 GAA and .947 SV% in three games.

Langhamer, 23, served as Louis Domingue’s backup over the weekend but will swap spots with Adin Hill and head back to Tucson. Langhamer has yet to appear in a game this season, but was 8-11-0 with a 3.36 GAA and .902 SV% in 25 games with the Roadrunners last year.
Antti Raanta left Thursday’s game with a lower-body injury and was unable to return. Langhamer’s call-up suggests that Raanta will miss at least Saturday’s game vs. Boston. Look for Langhamer, who was 8-11-0 with a 3.36 GAA and .902 SV% with Tucson last year, to backup Louis Domingue while Raanta is sidelined.
Langhamer allowed one goal on eight shots to preserve the Coyotes’ win over the Ducks after replacing an injured Mike Smith on Monday. With Smith healthy and Louis Domingue now good to go, Langhamer will return to the Tucson, where he is 4-5-0 with a 2.90 GAA and .914 SV% this season.
Langhamer was an emergancy call-up to serve as Anders Lindback’s backup on the weekend, but with Mike Smith still out, they’ve recalled Louis Domingue, who is a more NHL-ready goalie, to replace Langhamer.
