Raanta allowed just one goal on 36 shots in Monday's 5-1 win over Boston.
EDGE Analysis
Raanta was nearly perfect in his first career playoff start. A third-period goal from Taylor Hall was the lone blemish for the 32-year-old netminder as he earned the win despite Boston out-shooting Carolina 36-25. Raanta should be back between the pipes on Wednesday if Frederik Andersen (undisclosed) remains sidelined.

Raanta will be between the home pipes for Monday's Game 1 clash with Boston, Sara Civian of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The decision to start Raanta shouldn't come as a surprise after Frederik Andersen (undisclosed) was ruled out for Game 1. It will be the 32-year-old Raanta's first career playoff start having featured exclusively in relief for his prior five postseason appearances.

Raanta (lower body) made 27 saves in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Raanta left his previous start with a lower-body injury but looked healthy in Carolina's season finale. The Hurricanes' first-round opponent has yet to be decided, but Raanta will likely get the Game 1 nod over rookie Pyotr Kochetkov with Frederik Andersen still sidelined by an undisclosed injury.

Raanta is slated to start between the pipes in Thursday's regular-season finale versus the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Frederik Andersen (undisclosed) has yet to resume skating, so Raanta is on track to enter the playoffs as Carolina's No. 1 option in net. Raanta will try to end the regular season with a bang by securing his 15th win of the year in a favorable home matchup with a New Jersey team that's 11-25-4 on the road this campaign.

Raanta (lower body) should be available to at least dress for Tuesday's matchup with the Rangers, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Raanta's availability is good news for the Hurricanes even if he doesn't get the start as the team may need him to carry the load heading into the postseason. While Frederik Andersen (undisclosed) figures to claim the starting job once cleared to play, Raanta may have to get the team through the first round of the playoffs.

Raanta suffered a lower-body injury Sunday and had to exit in the second period against the Islanders, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Raanta stopped 17 of 18 shots before departing the game with a 2-1 lead. Pyotr Kochetkov replaced him in Carolina's crease. With Frederik Andersen sidelined by an undisclosed injury, the Hurricanes could be without their top two goalies heading into the playoffs.

Raanta will man the road crease Sunday against the Islanders, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Frederik Andersen (undisclosed) still on the mend, Raanta continues to operate as the top option in Carolina's net. Raanta has won both of his starts since Andersen went down, improving his record to 14-5-4 along with a 2.44 GAA and .912 save percentage. He'll have a nice opportunity to continue his winning ways against an Islanders team that has allowed 18 goals during its current four-game losing streak.

Raanta made 20 saves in a 4-2 win over the Jets on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Kyle Connor scored at 7:10 of the first to put the Jets up 1-0 and then Pierre-Luc Dubois wired a wrister from the left circle through Brett Pesce's legs and over Raanta's glove. But that was it. Raanta is the de facto starter while Freddie Andersen remains out with a lower-body injury. There is no timetable for his return although his MRI did return negative.

Raanta will start against Winnipeg on Thursday, Sara Civian of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
With workhorse starter Frederik Andersen out until at least April 25, Raanta will make his fourth appearance in as many games. His .912 save percentage and 2.46 GAA across 25 games this season have quietly provided solid fantasy results behind an above-average Carolina offense. As such, the 32-year-old should make for a great play against a Jets team that's dropped three games in a row by a combined score of 16-5.

Raanta stopped 23 of 26 shots in Monday's 5-3 win over Arizona.
EDGE Analysis
It was the third consecutive start for Raanta, with Frederik Andersen (undisclosed) still sidelined. The 32-year-old netminder was aided by a strong offensive output from the Hurricanes, en route to the victory against his former team. It's been an up-and-down year for Raanta, but he should be able to pick up some more wins down the stretch behind a 106-point Hurricanes team. His record improves to 13-5-4 with a .912 save percentage.
