Antti Raanta News

Raanta will get his first start in three contests after Pyotr Kochetkov showed some impressive play over the Hurricanes' previous two victories (1.00 GAA). The 34-year-old veteran netminder has looked horrendous filling in for the Injured Frederik Andersen (blood clot) with his 6-5-0 record, 3.40 GAA and .860 SV%. He'll host the Nashville Predators Friday, who are winners of two-straight but are 17th in the NHL in goals per game (3.07).

He'll host the Nashville Predators Friday, who are winners of two-straight but are 17th in the NHL in goals per game (3.07).

Raanta will start for the first time since a monumentally poor performance on November 24th when he allowed eight goals on 14 shots (.429 SV%) in an 8-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning. Raanta is posting a career-worst GAA (3.47) and save percentage (.854), well below the usually-dependable netminder's career average of 2.47 GAA and .916 SV%. The 11-year veteran is undoubtedly struggling between the pipes this season, but there is very little room for error being a goaltender for the Hurricanes, who lead the league in shot suppression (24.7 SA / GP). The Hurricanes are -141 road favourites against a Jets team held to three or fewer goals in each of their last six games (3-3-0).

Raanta exited Wednesday's contest for precautionary reasons associated with a lower-body concern but seems no worse for wear as he will start on Friday against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Injury concerns are always a worry with Raanta, but so long as he is healthy, he should continue to see a fair share of action in the Hurricanes crease. In his last six outings (5-1-0), Raanta has allowed only 12 goals and registered a .912 SV%, strong numbers for any netminder on a Hurricanes team that leads the league in shot suppression (25.8 SA / GP).

Raanta has won four of his last five starts (4-1-0), most recently a 26-save performance (.929 SV%) in a 4-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins, and will start for the second consecutive game when the Hurricanes host the Edmonton Oilers. Raanta has seen a slight edge in playing time over Pyotr Kochetkov since Frederik Andersen was placed on injured reserve, a trend that will likely continue if the veteran goaltender continues to collect victories. The Hurricanes are -140 home favourites against an Oilers team that has lost two straight (0-2-0) but has scored three or more goals in five consecutive outings (3-2-0).

Raanta will get his first start in three games Saturday after losing his previous start vs. Florida on November 10th in a 30-save (.882 SV%) loss. The 34-year-old veteran netminder has failed to impress as a Frederik Andersen (injury) replacement, with his 4-2-0 record, 3.01 GAA, and .877 SV%. He will face Pittsburgh on Saturday, who had a five-game winning streak snapped last game but are still leading the NHL in shots per game (34.6).

Raanta will be the Hurricanes' starting goalie for the second consecutive game since the news that Frederik Andersen will be out indefinitely due to a blood clotting issue. In his first game as the bonafide number-one goalie, Raanta saved 19 of 21 shots (.905 SV%) and is on a personal three-game winning streak, saving 61 of 66 shots in that span (.924 SV%). The Hurricanes are -128 road favourites but will be challenged against a Florida Panthers team with points in six of their last seven games (5-1-1).

Raanta is the starter for the Hurricanes on Tuesday in their first game without Frederik Andersen, who is away from the team to tend to a blood clotting issue. In five games this season (3-1-0), Raanta has played well below his career average, posting a 3.03 GAA and .870 SV%, but should see the majority of action between the pipes in the interim. Going forward, he will also battle for time with Pyotr Kochetkov, recalled from Syracuse (AHL) on Monday, and possibly Jaroslav Halak, who joined the team on a free-agent tryout. The Hurricanes are -203 home favourites on Tuesday against the Buffalo Sabres, who are 6-6-0 on the season.

With Pyotr Kotchekov being sent to Syracuse (AHL) and Frederik Andersen getting the start Thursday, Antti Raanta will take the pipes Friday vs. San Jose. The 34-year-old has been horrendous thus far in 2023-24, with his 1-1-0 record, 4.41 GAA and .818 SV%. He will hope to get his season back on track against the winless San Jose Sharks (0-6-1), who are last in the NHL in both shots per game (24.3) and goals per game (1.14).
