Per Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site, Raanta was the first goalie off the ice at morning skate, indicating he'll start between the pipes in Wednesday's road game versus the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta wasn't great in his last start Saturday against the Sabres, surrendering three goals on just 25 shots, but he was still able to come away with a win thanks to strong goal support from his teammates. The 33-year-old goaltender will try to extend his personal winning streak to three games in a road matchup with a Florida team that will be without Matthew Tkachuk (suspension), Aaron Ekblad (lower body) and Patric Hornqvist (upper body).

Raanta stopped 22 of 25 shots in Friday's 5-3 win over the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta got plenty of help from the Hurricanes' top-six forwards, who handled all of the team's offense in this contest. The 33-year-old goalie improved to 3-0-1, though he's allowed three goals in each of his last three starts. He'll continue to see a backup role behind Frederik Andersen, who is starting roughly two-thirds of the games. Raanta won't be confined specifically to back-to-backs, but he's unlikely to see a majority of the playing time unless Andersen gets hurt.

Raanta will be guarding the home crease against Buffalo on Friday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta is 2-0-1 this season and has allowed seven goals on 80 shots. He was 2-0-0 against the Sabres last season, giving up five goals on 55 shots. This is a different Buffalo team this year as they are 7-3-0 and in second place in the tough Atlantic Division. Buffalo has averaged 4.30 goals per game this season.

Raanta stopped 26 of 29 shots in a 4-3 overtime win over the Flyers on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

He and the Canes were up 2-0 after the first, but the Flyers picked away at that and eventually moved in front early in the third. Martin Necas tied it up and then set up the winner. Raanta was solid on the night and is now 2-0-1 with a 2.23 GAA and .912 save percentage. He remains a strong spot start when he is in the blue paint.

Raanta will start Saturday's road game against Philadelphia, Adam Kimelman of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta will get the second half of Carolina's back-to-back after Frederik Andersen played in Friday's 6-2 loss to the Islanders. He has stopped 47 of 51 shots this year en route to a 1-0-1 start.

Raanta allowed three goals on 32 shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta's second start of the year didn't go as smoothly as the first, as he squandered the early 2-0 lead the Hurricanes established. He'll want the second goal back, as Brett Ritchie scored from a tight angle. Raanta is 1-0-1 with four goals allowed on 51 shots through two starts. Frederik Andersen should be considered likely to start Monday in a favorable road matchup with the slumping Canucks.

Raanta was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports, indicating he will start Saturday on the road against Calgary.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta will make his second start of the year after the Hurricanes lost 6-4 to Edmonton on Thursday. He made 18 saves in a 2-1 win over San Jose on Oct. 14 during his last appearance in the crease. The Flames had a three-game win streak snapped by Buffalo on Thursday in a 6-3 defeat.

Raanta allowed a goal on 19 shots in Friday's 2-1 win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta gave up a goal to Evgeny Svechnikov late in the first period, but he kept the Sharks quiet over the final 40 minutes. It's a solid start to the year for Raanta, though this was hardly a challenging opponent for him in his season debut. The 33-year-old posted a 15-5-4 record with a 2.45 GAA and a .912 save percentage in 28 games last season. Raanta's long injury history makes him risky, but he shouldn't be overworked as the Hurricanes will likely favor Frederik Andersen by roughly a 2-to-1 ratio for starts in goal. The team's next game is Monday in Seattle.

Raanta is expect to start Friday on the road against San Jose, per Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.

EDGE Analysis

While it looked like Frederik Andersen would get the start, the Hurricanes are going with Raanta. The netminder was 15-5-4 with a 2.45 GAA and a .912 save percentage last season. His opponents, the Sharks, have returned home after opening the season in Europe and could still be jet-lagged.

Raanta is expected to start Monday at home in preseason action against Columbus, per Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.

EDGE Analysis

aanta occupied the starter's crease during the morning skate. He was a serviceable backup for the Hurricanes last season behind Frederik Andersen. He earned his fair share of starts because of injuries to Andersen.
