Raanta is expected to start on the road against Vancouver on Saturday, according to Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta has a 6-4-0 record, 3.33 GAA and .863 save percentage in 12 contests this campaign. He's 0-2-0 over his last three outings while stopping just 51 of 64 shots (.797 save percentage). Vancouver will be a difficult team for Raanta to rebound against -- the Canucks rank third offensively this year with 3.81 goals per game.

Raanta stopped 25 of 28 shots in relief of Pyotr Kochetkov in Wednesday's 6-1 loss to the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta played 54:14 in the game, and the Oilers hardly let up after chasing Kochetkov early in the first period. With 13 goals allowed over his last three appearances, Raanta is far from a reliable option for fantasy managers. He's at a 6-4-0 record with a 3.33 GAA and an .863 save percentage over 12 contests. Given his heavy workload Wednesday, it's unclear if Raanta will play Thursday versus the Flames or if head coach Rod Brind'Amour will give Kochetkov a chance at redemption.

Raanta allowed two goals on 22 shots in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta was decent in his first start since Nov. 24, but a couple of Winnipeg goals proved enough to hand him the loss, as Carolina could only score once on Laurent Brossoit despite recording 43 shots. The 34-year-old Raanta falls to 6-4-0 with a subpar .859 save percentage on the season. Despite his struggles, Raanta should continue to share netminding duties with Pyotr Kochetkov while Frederik Andersen (illness) remains out.

Raanta was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports, indicating he will defend the road net Monday against Winnipeg.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta made only six saves on 14 shots in an 8-2 loss to Tampa Bay on Nov. 24 during his last appearance. He has posted a 6-3-0 record this season with a 3.47 GAA and an .854 save percentage through 10 games played. The Jets sit 14th in the league this campaign with 3.26 goals per contest.

Raanta allowed eight goals on just 14 shots in Friday's 8-2 home loss against the Lightning.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta's stat line looks awful, but to be fair, a lot of the goals weren't entirely his fault. The Lightning took advantage of three penalties to the Hurricanes in the second period, scoring three power-play goals in the opening six minutes. In the third period, Tampa Bay blitzed Raanta for five more goals, including another power-play tally. Carolina's penalty kill struggled mightily in the contest. Raanta was coming off back-to-back wins where he allowed just three goals over the two contests, so we wouldn't hit the panic button just yet.

Raanta (lower body) is expected to start in Friday's home game against Tampa Bay, according to Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta availability was in question after he left Wednesday's contest after one period. He has a 6-2-0 record, 2.88 GAA and .885 save percentage in nine appearances this season. Tampa Bay is tied for seventh offensively this year with 3.50 goals per game.

Raanta (lower body) left Wednesday's game for precautionary reasons.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta stopped seven of eight shots as the Hurricanes built up a 4-1 lead after one period. Pyotr Kochetkov took over in goal for the second period, and he'd likely get the bulk of the starts if Raanta is out beyond Wednesday. If Raanta misses more time, Yaniv Perets will likely be called up from the ECHL as an emergency depth option.

Raanta is slated to start at home against Edmonton on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta will attempt to earn his second straight win after saving 26 of 28 shots in a 4-2 victory over Pittsburgh on Saturday. He has a 5-2-0 record, 2.88 GAA and .885 save percentage in eight outings this campaign. The Oilers have struggled offensively this year, ranking 21st with 2.94 goals per game.

Raanta made 26 saves in a 4-2 win over Pittsburgh on Saturday

EDGE Analysis

The only Pen that beat him was none other than Sidney Crosby, who used his patented backhand to fool the Canes' twine tender. Raanta has four wins in his last five starts, and he has plenty of opportunity to ring up some solid numbers with Frederik Andersen (illness) out indefinitely.

Raanta was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, according to Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff, indicating he will guard the home crease Saturday against Pittsburgh.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta allowed four goals on 34 shots in a 5-2 loss to Florida during his last outing. He has a 4-2-1 record this season with a 3.01 GAA and an .877 save percentage through seven appearances. Pittsburgh sits ninth in the league this campaign with 3.53 goals per contest.
