Raanta saved 29 of 30 shots in a 5-1 win over the Sabres on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta was beaten by Alex Tuch at 14:45 of the first period, but Carolina still had a commanding 3-1 lead, and Raanta was perfect after that. The 33-year-old improved to 13-2-3 with a 2.46 GAA and a .902 save percentage in 19 contests this season. He's won his last three games while surrendering just four goals on 74 shots over that span.

Raanta is slated to start on the road against Buffalo on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta has a 12-2-3 record, 2.55 GAA and .897 save percentage in 18 contests this season. He's won his last two games while saving 41 of 44 shots over that span. Buffalo has the top-ranked offense with 3.76 goals per game.

Raanta turned aside 26 of 29 shots in Friday's 5-4 overtime win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

It's not often you see the winning netminder allow an empty-net goal, but that's exactly what happened in this one. The Hurricanes pulled Raanta late in the third period down 3-2 then gave up one more tally with just under two minutes left, but they managed to score twice before the final horn to force OT, where Martin Necas ended things. Raanta hasn't lost in regulation since mid-November, amassing a 12-2-3 record on the season with a 2.55 GAA despite a shaky .897 save percentage, but assuming Frederik Andersen (upper body) can use the All-Star break to get healthy again, the pecking order in net for Carolina isn't likely to change.

Raanta will defend the home crease versus San Jose on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta picked up the win in his last contest Wednesday, stopping all 15 shots in relief of the injured Frederik Andersen. Andersen will back up Raanta on Friday as he has recovered from his upper-body injury. Raanta is 11-2-3 with a 2.52 GAA and .898 save percentage this season. He will face the Sharks, who are 23rd in NHL scoring, averaging 2.98 goals per game.

Raanta stopped the 15 shots he faced in relief during Carolina's 3-2 overtime win against Dallas on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Frederik Andersen got the start, but he stopped just four of six shots in the first period and didn't come out for the second because of an upper-body injury. Raanta was in net to start the second frame, and because Dallas was ahead 2-1 at the time, Raanta was credited with the win. He's 11-2-3 with a 2.52 GAA and an .898 save percentage in 17 contests in 2022-23. The 33-year-old didn't play in Carolina's previous six games, but if Andersen's unavailable for any significant period of time, then Raanta is likely to receive a meaningfully increased workload.

Raanta stopped 15 of 18 shots Saturday, suffering a 4-3 shootout loss to the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta did not have his A-game Saturday, posting a .833 save percentage and allowing Kirill Marchenko's first career hat trick. Raanta is coming off a decent month of December, posting a 5-0-0 record with a 2.63 GAA and a .897 save percentage. Tuesday versus New Jersey could be the next time Raanta is between the pipes.

Raanta will defend to the road net Saturday versus Columbus, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

Raanta allowed four goals on 28 shots in Sunday's 5-4 shootout victory over the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta was shaky in the third period, allowing three goals. Fortunately, he was bailed out by the Hurricanes' offense before blanking the Devils in overtime and the subsequent shootout. The 33-year-old Raanta has won his last five starts as he improves to 10-2-2 with a .897 save percentage. He'll continue to share starting duties with Pyotr Kochetkov with Frederik Andersen (lower body) still on IR.

Raanta will defend the road net Sunday versus New Jersey, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

Raanta has a 9-2-2 record this season with a 2.53 GAA and a .900 save percentage in 14 appearances. New Jersey is tied for ninth in the NHL this year with 3.33 goals per game.

Raanta posted a 19-save shutout in Friday's 4-0 win over the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta has logged consecutive shutouts, and he's won five straight appearances. With Pyotr Kochetkov still a bit banged up -- though healthy enough to serve as backup -- Raanta appears to be trying to claim the starting job. This was Raanta's 17th career shutout, and it improved his season numbers to 9-2-2 with a 2.53 GAA and a .900 save percentage through 14 appearances. The Hurricanes' next game is in New Jersey on Sunday.
