Antti Raanta - Page 2 - NHL News & Rumors

Finally back in win column Raanta made 18 saves in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Canadiens.

Impact Making his first NHL start since Dec. 15, Raanta wasn't busy and wasn't particularly sharp, but he got enough offensive support to pick up his first win since Nov. 22. The veteran has had a rough season, stumbling to a 3.56 GAA and .855 save percentage through 15 appearances, but Carolina seems content to run with him as Pyotr Kochetkov's backup for now and give Raanta a chance to turn things around.

Set to face Canadiens Raanta is slated to start at home against Montreal on Thursday.

Impact Raanta was recalled from AHL Chicago on Sunday after posting a 2.90 GAA and an .875 save percentage in two minor-league contests. At the NHL level this season, he has a 6-5-1 record, 3.60 GAA and .854 save percentage in 14 appearances. A game against the Canadiens might help boost his confidence -- Montreal ranks 27th offensively this year with 2.79 goals per game.

Promoted from AHL Raanta was recalled from AHL Chicago on Sunday, per PuckPedia.com.

Impact Raanta allowed six goals on 48 shots in two AHL appearances. The 34-year-old posted a brutal .854 save percentage in 14 NHL outings prior to his demotion.

Placed on waivers The Hurricanes have placed Raanta on waivers Saturday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

Impact Raanta is 6-5-1 this season, but that has more to do with the Hurricanes scoring than his play in net, as he has a 3.60 GAA and .854 save percentage. The final straw came in his last two starts, giving up 10 goals on 54 shots in a loss to Vancouver and an overtime defeat versus Nashville. It remains to be seen what the Hurricanes will do with Raanta, should he pass through waivers as they could still keep him in the NHL, or send him to the minors.

Rough night in OT loss Raanta turned aside 24 shots in Friday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Predators.

Impact The veteran netminder didn't seem comfortable all night, starting in the first period when a weak backhand by Juuso Parssinen trickled through Raanta's five-hole and just across the goal line. He's hasn't won a game since Nov. 22, going 0-3-1 across his last five appearances with a 4.75 GAA and brutal .805 save percentage, and Raanta has fallen firmly behind Pyotr Kochetkov on the depth chart for Carolina.

In goal Friday Raanta will get the starting nod at home against the Predators.

Impact Raanta has been stuck in a rut lately, going 0-3-0 with a brutal .807 save percentage over his last four appearances. Friday's game will be his first appearance since coughing up four goals in a loss to Vancouver on Dec. 9. The 34-year-old is 6-5-0 with a 3.40 GAA and an .860 save percentage through 13 outings this season.

DECEMBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Surrenders four goals in loss Raanta stopped 20 of 24 shots in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Canucks.

Impact Raanta struggled once again, failing to pick up a win for the fourth straight outing. In that span, he's given up 17 goals while going 0-3-0. The 34-year-old netminder is 6-5-0 with a 3.40 GAA and an .860 save percentage through 13 appearances, though Pyotr Kochetkov hasn't done much better. With the Hurricanes having lost four games in a row with two to go on the road trip, it's best for fantasy managers to stay away from the team's netminders until they can right the ship.

DECEMBER 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Set to start Saturday Raanta is expected to start on the road against Vancouver on Saturday, according to Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.

Impact Raanta has a 6-4-0 record, 3.33 GAA and .863 save percentage in 12 contests this campaign. He's 0-2-0 over his last three outings while stopping just 51 of 64 shots (.797 save percentage). Vancouver will be a difficult team for Raanta to rebound against -- the Canucks rank third offensively this year with 3.81 goals per game.

DECEMBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Long relief outing Raanta stopped 25 of 28 shots in relief of Pyotr Kochetkov in Wednesday's 6-1 loss to the Oilers.

Impact Raanta played 54:14 in the game, and the Oilers hardly let up after chasing Kochetkov early in the first period. With 13 goals allowed over his last three appearances, Raanta is far from a reliable option for fantasy managers. He's at a 6-4-0 record with a 3.33 GAA and an .863 save percentage over 12 contests. Given his heavy workload Wednesday, it's unclear if Raanta will play Thursday versus the Flames or if head coach Rod Brind'Amour will give Kochetkov a chance at redemption.

Makes 20 saves in loss Raanta allowed two goals on 22 shots in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Jets.

Impact Raanta was decent in his first start since Nov. 24, but a couple of Winnipeg goals proved enough to hand him the loss, as Carolina could only score once on Laurent Brossoit despite recording 43 shots. The 34-year-old Raanta falls to 6-4-0 with a subpar .859 save percentage on the season. Despite his struggles, Raanta should continue to share netminding duties with Pyotr Kochetkov while Frederik Andersen (illness) remains out.

Set to face Winnipeg Raanta was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports, indicating he will defend the road net Monday against Winnipeg.

Impact Raanta only made six saves on 14 shots in an 8-2 loss to Tampa Bay on Nov. 24 during his last appearance. He has posted a 6-3-0 record this season with a 3.47 GAA and an .854 save percentage through 10 games played. The Jets sit 14th in the league this campaign with 3.26 goals per contest.

DECEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Shredded for eight goals Raanta allowed eight goals on just 14 shots in Friday's 8-2 home loss against the Lightning.

Impact Raanta's stat line looks awful, but to be fair, a lot of the goals weren't entirely his fault. The Lightning took advantage of three penalties to the Hurricanes in the second period, scoring three power-play goals with a 4-minute and 20-second stretch. In the third period, Tampa Bay blitzed Raanta for five goals, and overall he allowed four goals on the man advantage, as the penalty kill was mostly non-existent for the Canes.

Set to start Friday Raanta (lower body) is expected to start in Friday's home game against Tampa Bay, according to Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer.

Impact Raanta availability was in question after he left Wednesday's contest after one period. He has a 6-2-0 record, 2.88 GAA and .885 save percentage in nine appearances this season. Tampa Bay is tied for seventh offensively this year with 3.50 goals per game.

Carolina Hurricanes goalie Antti Raanta leaves Oilers game with apparent injury Pyotr Kochetkov replaced Antti Raanta after the first period. Here’s what we know.

NOVEMBER 23, 2023 • CHARLOTTEOBSERVER.COM

Leaves game Wednesday Raanta (lower body) left Wednesday's game for precautionary reasons.

Impact Raanta stopped seven of eight shots as the Hurricanes built up a 4-1 lead after one period. Pyotr Kochetkov took over in goal for the second period, and he'd likely get the bulk of the starts if Raanta is out beyond Wednesday. If Raanta misses more time, Yaniv Perets will likely be called up from the ECHL as an emergency depth option.

Guarding home crease Wednesday Raanta is slated to start at home against Edmonton on Wednesday.

Impact Raanta will attempt to earn his second straight win after saving 26 of 28 shots in a 4-2 victory over Pittsburgh on Saturday. He has a 5-2-0 record, 2.88 GAA and .885 save percentage in eight outings this campaign. The Oilers have struggled offensively this year, ranking 21st with 2.94 goals per game.

Sharp in win Raanta made 26 saves in a 4-2 win over Pittsburgh on Saturday

Impact The only Pen that beat him was none other than Sidney Crosby, who used his patented backhand to fool the Canes' twine tender. Raanta has four wins in his last five starts, and he has plenty of opportunity to ring up some solid numbers with Frederik Andersen (illness) out indefinitely.

Impact Raanta allowed four goals on 34 shots in a 5-2 loss to Florida during his last outing. He has a 4-2-1 record this season with a 3.01 GAA and an .877 save percentage through seven appearances. Pittsburgh sits ninth in the league this campaign with 3.53 goals per contest.

NOVEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Chewed up by Panthers Raanta turned aside 30 of 34 shots in Friday's 5-2 loss to Florida.

Impact The Panthers' final goal was scored into an empty net. The 'Canes grabbed an early 1-0 lead but it quickly melted away as Florida came at Carolina in waves, and Raanta had little chance to stop any of the pucks that beat him. It's the veteran netminder's first loss since Oct. 15, leaving him with a solid 4-2-0 record through seven appearances, but on the season Raanta has a less appealing 3.02 GAA and .877 save percentage.

NOVEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Stationed between pipes Friday Raanta will get the starting nod in Florida on Friday, Doug Plagens of the Panthers Radio Network reports.

Impact Raanta will make his third straight start as he continues shouldering the load in Frederick Andersen's (illness) absence. Raanta has earned three straight wins, including his 20-save shutout Oct. 27 against the Sharks. During that stretch, he's posted a .924 save percentage. However, his season mark still sits at .877 through six appearances.

NOVEMBER 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sharp in OT win Raanta stopped 20 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Sabres.

Impact While he didn't see a lot of volume, Raanta had to make some very tough saves just to get Carolina to OT and set the stage for another Martin Necas game-winner. Raanta has won four straight starts, allowing a total of seven goals on 81 shots during those outings, and the fact that the Hurricanes brought in Jaroslav Halak on a free-agent tryout earlier this week is a strong sign Frederik Andersen (illness) won't be back on the ice any time soon. As long as Raanta can stay healthy himself, the 34-year-old appears set for a fairly hefty workload, with youngster Pyotr Kochetkov -- just called back up from AHL Syracuse on Monday -- backing him up for now.

Starting against Sabres Raanta will guard the home goal against Buffalo on Tuesday, per Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.

Impact Raanta made 22 saves in a 4-3 overtime win over the Islanders on Saturday. In five contests this campaign, he has a 3-1-0 record with a 3.03 GAA and an .870 save percentage. With Frederik Andersen out indefinitely due to a blood clotting issue, Raanta and Pyotr Kochetkov, who was recalled from AHL Syracuse on Monday, could share playing time.
