Raanta stopped 29 of 33 shots in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta allowed two goals in both the second and third periods as Carolina failed to close out the series in Game 6. Still, the 33-year-old netminder has had a strong series with a .926 save percentage. With Frederik Andersen's (lower body) status still uncertain, Raanta will likely be back in goal for Saturday's Game 7.

Raanta will guard the road goal during Thursday's Game 6 versus Boston, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta was fantastic in Tuesday's Game 5, turning aside 33 of 34 shots en route to a convincing 5-1 victory. The 33-year-old netminder will try to help the Hurricanes advance past the Bruins into the second round by shooting for his third win of the postseason Thursday.

Raanta made 33 saves in Tuesday's 5-1 Game 5 win over the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta replicated his performance from the series opener, in which he made 35 stops en route to a 5-1 win. The Hurricanes improved to 3-0 at home in this series. They can advance to the second round if they get their first road win in Thursday's Game 6, and Raanta's likely to start that one given the lack of recent updates from Carolina on Frederik Andersen's (undisclosed) status.

Raanta will patrol the home crease during Tuesday's Game 5 against Boston.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta wasn't great in Sunday's Game 4 versus the Bruins, surrendering four goals on just 27 shots en route to a 5-2 loss. The 32-year-old Finn will try to shake off that poor performance and shoot for his second win of the postseason in a rematch with the same Boston squad Tuesday.

Raanta allowed four goals on 27 shots in Sunday's 5-2 Game 4 loss to the Bruins. Boston's fifth goal was an empty-netter.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta was victimized by a tough no-call on Boston's second goal late in the second period. The play was almost a carbon copy of a Carolina goal that was waved off for goalie interference earlier in the series, but a Hurricanes challenge proved fruitless. With momentum and another power play to boot, the Bruins proceeded to pull away with three unanswered goals in the third. Raanta had allowed only one goal in three-plus periods of action prior to this game, so he's the favorite to start Game 5 at home Tuesday unless Frederik Andersen's ready to return from an undisclosed injury.

Raanta will start Sunday's Game 4 in Boston, Chip Alexander of the Raleigh News and Observer reports.

EDGE Analysis

He sustained an upper-body injury in Game 2 on Wednesday and dressed as the backup behind Pyotr Kochetkov for Friday's Game 3 loss, but Raanta's healthy enough to retake the starting role and will look to help the Hurricanes take a commanding 3-1 series lead against the Bruins. The Finnish netminder has stopped 41 of the 42 shots he's faced this postseason.

Raanta (upper body) will serve as Pyotr Kochetkov's backup in Friday's Game 3 against the Bruins, Luke DeCock of the Raleigh News and Observer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta is still feeling the effects of the hit he took from Boston's David Pastrnak which knocked him out of Wednesday's Game 2 against the Bruins, but he's evidently doing well enough to serve as Kochetkov's backup Friday. It wouldn't be surprising to see Raanta get the starting nod for Sunday's Game 4.

Raanta has been officially ruled out for the rest of Wednesday's Game 2 matchup with Boston due to an upper-body injury.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta -- who was hurt as the result of a collision with Bruins winger David Pastrnak -- was replaced in the crease by Pyotr Kochetkov. The Canes could find themselves in danger of missing both Raanta and Frederik Andersen (undisclosed) heading into Game 3.

Raanta left Wednesday's matchup with Toronto with an apparent head injury, Conor Ryan of MassLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta was injured in a collision with Boston's David Pastrnak for which the Boston forward was assessed a penalty. With Raanta coming out of the game, Pyotr Kochetkov took his place in the crease, making his first appearance in an NHL postseason game.

Per Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic, Raanta was the first goalie off the ice at morning skate, indicating he'll get the start in goal at home in Wednesday's Game 2 versus Boston.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta was fantastic in Monday's Game 1 against the Bruins, turning aside 35 of 36 shots en route to a convincing 5-1 win. He'll try to help his team maintain home-ice advantage by securing a second straight win over the same Boston squad Wednesday.
