Raanta turned aside 24 shots in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Raanta earned his fourth consecutive win while picking up his first shutout of the season. The 33-year-old netminder improves to 8-2-2 despite a subpar .894 save percentage. It was an encouraging performance for Raanta, who's been sharing starting duties with rookie Pyotr Kochetkov while Frederik Andersen (lower body) remains sidelined.

Raanta will guard the home goal versus the Blackhawks on Tuesday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Raanta will make his third straight start, and he's picked up wins in four of his last five outings. In that span, he's allowed 17 goals on 106 shots -- he's been shaky, but he's done enough to get results. The 33-year-old will have a very favorable matchup Tuesday, as Chicago is 2-8-0 in its last 10 games.

Raanta made 26 saves Saturday in a 5-4 overtime win over Dallas.
EDGE Analysis
Raanta last played December 1 and was leaky before he was pulled. And despite the win Saturday, he really didn't impress. It was the first game this season (10 starts) where he allowed more than three goals. Rookie Pyotr Kochetkov is 5-0-1 in December with two shutouts and just nine goals allowed (four were allowed in one game). Raanta just isn't playing well enough to steal time from the 23-year-old.

Raanta was pulled after two periods in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Blues. He allowed three goals on 15 shots.
EDGE Analysis
Two were on the power play, but even then, Raanta looked leaky when he was in the blue paint -- a couple of those goals were questionable at best. Still Rod Brind'Amour is known to ride his goalies, so there's always a risk Raanta could be nicked up. He did appear to be slow to get up on a couple plays in the second period, so we'll watch this carefully. Frederick Andersen is already out with a lower-body injury and while he's been great so far, Pyotr Kochetkov has just nine career NHL starts. Kocketkov stopped 10-of-11 shots in relief and got the win.
