Raanta had a concussion but was at practice Friday and is feeling better, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.

EDGE Analysis

What was initially labeled an upper-body injury turned out to be a concussion, which Raanta suffered last Saturday against the Panthers. The 32-year-old should still be considered day-to-day with a chance to return for Saturday's matchup against St. Louis.

Raanta (upper body) will not suit up for Tuesday's game against Tampa Bay.

EDGE Analysis

The recently called-up Alex Lyon will instead back up Frederik Andersen while Raanta recovers. A timetable for Raanta's return has not yet been established.

Raanta (upper body) was sent home from practice Sunday and will be further evaluated in Raleigh, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Alex Lyon is being called up from AHL Chicago, suggesting that Raanta will probably miss Tuesday's game in Tampa Bay, at a minimum. Raanta was helped off the ice following a collision Saturday against Florida.

Raanta (upper body) was injured in a collision with the Panthers' Ryan Lomberg during Saturday's game, George Richards of Panthers Press Box reports.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta needed help off the ice after the collision, which happened as he came out near the faceoff circle to play the puck. Injuries have been far too common a theme in the Finn's career, and this one came in just his second game this season after he relieved Frederik Andersen, who gave up four goals in the first period. An update on Raanta's status should surface prior to Tuesday's game against the Lightning.

Raanta stopped 23 shots in Friday's 6-3 win over Chicago.

EDGE Analysis

The two teams traded goals a couple times in the early going, but Raanta then settled in and the Hurricanes took a 4-2 lead into the first intermission. The veteran netminder was making his first appearance of the season, as Frederik Andersen had seen all the action for Carolina prior to Friday, but Raanta should be called upon a little more frequently once the 'Canes schedule gets busier.

Raanta will patrol the crease during Friday's home game versus the Blackhawks, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Frederik Andersen has been excellent early on this season, going 6-0-0 while posting a highly impressive 1.33 GAA and .956 save percentage, so Raanta hasn't gotten an opportunity to start until now. The 32-year-old Raanta will attempt to secure his first win of the year in a favorable home matchup with a struggling Chicago club that's gotten off to a disastrous 0-5-2 start this season.

Raanta is set to start between the pipes in Tuesday's home preseason game versus Nashville, Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta struggled in his preseason debut Friday against the Lightning, surrendering seven goals on just 25 shots en route to an 8-5 defeat, so he'll undoubtedly be highly motivated to bounce back against the Predators.

Raanta (upper body) will start Friday's preseason tilt against Tampa Bay, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta landed a two-year deal with Carolina this offseason and is expected to serve as Frederik Andersen's primary backup. The veteran goalie registered a 3.53 GAA and a .905 save percentage in 12 games with the Coyotes last season.

Raanta (upper body) will sign a two-year, $4 million contract with the Hurricanes on Wednesday, Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta has been plagued by injuries over the past three seasons, but he's been decent when healthy, going 25-25-5 while posting a 2.88 GAA and a .913 save percentage in 57 appearances with Arizona. Carolina is expected to sign Frederik Andersen to be its No. 1 netminder in 2021-22, but as long as he's able to stay healthy, Raanta should see 25-30 starts as the team's No. 2 option.

Raanta (upper body) will not play Saturday versus the Sharks, Alexander Kinkopf of the Coyotes' official website reports.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta will miss Saturday's season finale, thus ending his campaign. The Finn posted a 5-5-2 record with a 3.53 GAA and a .905 save percentage in 12 games, as injuries were once again the storyline of his season. Raanta will be an unrestricted free agent this summer.
