Raanta will protect the home goal Saturday versus the Sabres, Sara Civian of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta took the loss Thursday, allowing three goals on 20 shots versus the Senators, so it seems odd for him to get another start so soon. He'll face a Sabres team that has scored four times in each of its last two games, but they lost both contests.

Raanta gave up three goals on 20 shots in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta was outplayed by Senators counterpart Anton Forsberg, as Ottawa won despite Carolina's 49-20 edge in shots. Carolina scored twice in the third period to erase a 2-0 deficit, only to watch Raanta give up the game-winning goal just 19 seconds after the Hurricanes tied it. This was the first regulation loss for the 32-year-old Finn (3-1-1), but Raanta's sub-.900 save percentage this season doesn't inspire confidence.

Raanta is on track to start between the pipes in Thursday's home game versus the Senators, Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta was pretty shaky in his last start Friday against the Flyers, surrendering three goals on just 23 shots, but he still came away with a win thanks to fantastic goal support from his teammates. The 32-year-old goaltender will attempt to pick up his fourth win of the year in a highly favorable home matchup with an Ottawa team that's 1-7-1 on the road this season.

Raanta turned aside 20 shots in Friday's 6-3 win over the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

It was a bumpy beginning to the afternoon for Raanta, who got beaten by Ivan Provorov only 50 seconds into the game, but after allowing Philadelphia's third goal of the goal early in the second period, the veteran netminder settled down and let his offense get to work. Raanta is no threat to Frederik Andersen's hold on the No. 1 job for Carolina, but he has yet to take a regulation loss this season (3-0-1) and carries a 2.36 GAA and .903 save percentage.

Raanta will guard the road cage during Friday's matchup with the Flyers, Adam Kimelman of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta was solid in his last start Monday against the Sharks, turning aside 25 of 27 shots, but he ultimately came away with an overtime loss due to insufficient goal support from his teammates. The 32-year-old netminder will try to get back in the win column in a road matchup with a Philadelphia team that's averaging 3.11 goals per game at home this year, 18th in the NHL.

Raanta yielded two goals on 27 shots in Monday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta gave up the tying goal to Kevin Labanc in the third period before Alexander Barabanov finished off a passing play in overtime to complete the Sharks' comeback. The 32-year-old Raanta suffered his first defeat in four appearances this year -- he has a 2-0-1 record with just seven goals allowed on 80 shots. Frederik Andersen will continue to see most of the playing time, so Raanta's unlikely to help fantasy managers outside the deepest of formats.

Raanta will get the starting nod for Monday's road clash with San Jose, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta will be making just his fourth appearance in the crease for the Canes this season after having posted a 2-0-0 record and 2.27 GAA in his prior three outings. The netminder is unlikely to see heavy usage this year as long as starter Frederik Andersen continues to be in peak form.

Raanta gave up two goals on 23 shots in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Momentum shifted by the period in this contest, with Raanta giving up two goals in a span of 1:19 during the middle stanza. The Hurricanes rallied ahead in the third period, and Raanta made it stick for the win. The Finn improved to 2-0-0 in three appearances (two starts) this year. He's allowed five goals on 53 shots so far, but Frederik Andersen has taken full control of the No. 1 job, so Raanta shouldn't be expected to play often.

Raanta will guard the road cage during Tuesday's game versus Vegas, Sara Civian of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta wasn't great in his lone start of the season Oct. 29 versus Chicago, surrendering three goals on just 26 shots, but he was still able to come away with a victory thanks to strong goal support from his teammates. The 32-year-old backstop will try to secure his second win of the year in a road matchup with a surging Golden Knights team that's won three straight contests.

Raanta (concussion) isn't ready to return to the ice Saturday, Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Third goalie Alex Lyon's starting Saturday indicates Raanta, who practiced Friday, needs more time to recover from his concussion. The 32-year-old will presumably be ready by Thursday, which is the next time Carolina might consider starting a goalie besides Frederik Andersen.
