Raanta will guard the goal during Saturday's home clash with Chicago, Craig Morgan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Raanta has struggled recently, suffering back-to-back road losses to the Oilers and Ducks while posting an ugly 6.03 GAA and .800 save percentage. The 30-year-old netminder will look to start righting the ship in a home matchup with a hot Blackhawks squad that's gone 5-1-0 in its last six games.

Raanta gave up four goals on 32 shots in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Raanta has now yielded 13 goals in his last three starts, losing all three. The Finn dipped to 9-11-2 with a 2.99 GAA and a .911 save percentage. He's battled his own injuries in this recent poor stretch, but his play in general hasn't done anything to show Rick Tocchet that he deserves a large share of the starts when Darcy Kuemper (lower body) returns.

Raanta will patrol the crease during Wednesday's road game versus the Ducks, Alexander Kinkopf of the Coyotes' official website reports.
EDGE Analysis
Raanta was terrible in his last appearance Jan. 18 against the Oilers, surrendering six goals on just 18 shots before being replaced by Adin Hill for the final period of the eventual 7-3 loss. The 30-year-old backstop will try to bounce back in a road matchup with an Anaheim squad that's only averaging 2.65 goals per game at home this campaign, 29th in the NHL.

Raanta gave up six goals on 18 shots before being replaced by Adin Hill to begin the third period of Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Edmonton had a 5-0 lead before five minutes had elapsed in the second period, and while Arizona did get a couple goals back before Raanta got the hook, the final result was nearly a foregone conclusion. The 30-year-old heads into the All-Star break with a 9-10-2 record, 2.94 GAA and .912 save percentage, and the layoff could give Darcy Kuemper (lower body) enough time to recover and reclaim his starting role for the Coyotes.

Raanta will guard the road cage Saturday versus the Oilers, Alexander Kinkopf of the Coyotes' official website reports.
EDGE Analysis
Raanta has missed the last three games with a lower-body injury, but he's been cleared to take on the divisional opponent. Since Darcy Kuemper (lower body) has been out, Raanta has been a serviceable replacement with a .919 save percentage and 4-4-0 record. The Oilers are heating up, though, as they've won four of the last five while averaging 4.2 goals per game.

Raanta (lower body) is available for Saturday's matchup versus Edmonton, per Craig Morgan of The Athletic.
EDGE Analysis
Coach Rick Tocchet hasn't named a starter just yet for Saturday's tilt, so it still might be Adin Hill between the pipes in order to give Raanta an extra day off. Even if he doesn't get the nod against the Oilers, the Finn should get one game of the Yotes' upcoming back-to-back versus Anaheim or Los Angeles on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively.

Raanta (lower body) will practice again Friday and hasn't been ruled out for Saturday's clash with Edmonton, Alexander Kinkopf of the Coyotes' official website reports.
EDGE Analysis
While the news effectively rules Raanta out versus Vancouver on Thursday -- Adin Hill will get the start -- it appears the Finn is nearing a return to the ice. Once cleared to play, the 30-year-old figures to see the bulk of the workload, at least until Darcy Kuemper (lower body) recovers from his injury.

A decision on Raanta's (lower body) status for against Vancouver will be made ahead of Thursday's matchup, Alexander Kinkopf of the Coyotes' official website reports.
EDGE Analysis
Even if Raanta is healthy enough to play, the club could decide to hold him back one more game and to instead continue giving the nod to Adin Hill. Once back up to game speed, the 30-year-old should resume his spot as the No. 1 option versus, at least until Darcy Kuemper (lower body) returns to action.

Raanta (lower body) could return to action at some point during the Coyotes' upcoming road trip, Craig Morgan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Raanta won't be available for Tuesday's game versus the Sharks, but he could be ready to return Thursday against Vancouver or Saturday against Edmonton before the NHL's All-Star break begins. Adin Hill will continue to shoulder the load in goal for Arizona until Raanta's given the green light.

Raanta (lower body) won't be in uniform for Sunday's game against Pittsburgh, Craig Morgan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Raanta couldn't finish Friday's game due to a lower-body issue and surrendered three goals on 28 shots. The team failed to provide a definitive update on the Finn's health, meaning he's without a timetable to return. Adin Hill will draw the start with Ivan Prosvetov serving as his backup.
