Raanta will tend the home twine in Tuesday's game against the Blues, Alexander Kinkopf of the Coyotes' official website reports.
EDGE Analysis
Raanta will make his fifth straight start since Darcy Kuemper (lower body) remains on IR. The 30-year-old Raanta has struggled as the No. 1, though, going 1-3-0 with an .892 save percentage. He's tasked with stymieing the red-hot Blues, who have won eight straight games and produced four-plus goals in seven of those outings.

Raanta surrendered three goals on 24 shots in a 4-2 loss to the Stars on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Raanta was perfect through two periods, but the Stars' offense awoke in the third and stuck the Finn with his third straight loss. The 30-year-old dipped to 6-8-2 with a 2.92 GAA and a .913 save percentage. Darcy Kuemper's lower-body injury opened the door for Raanta to lay claim to the starting role, but the latter has done nothing to prove he deserves a larger share of the crease when the former returns.

Raanta will patrol the home crease for Sunday's clash versus the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Since taking over for the injured Darcy Kuemper (lower body), Raanta has gone 1-2-0 along with a 3.90 GAA and .897 save percentage in three starts. He'll have to be sharp facing a Stars team that owns a 6-3-1 record in their last 10 games. Dallas' offense hasn't been great this season, however, as they rank 27th in the league in goals per game (2.59).

Raanta gave up four goals on 16 shots in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Raanta was replaced by Adin Hill in the crease early in the second period. The Finn took the loss, falling to 6-7-2 with a 2.91 GAA and a .915 save percentage in 16 appearances. Coach Rick Tocchet may have given Raanta the early hook to keep him fresh for Sunday's game against the Stars, but Hill also stopped all 20 shots he faced in relief, which could make it a tough decision.

Raanta will protect the crease versus Vegas on the road Saturday, Craig Morgan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Raanta stopped 38 of 41 shots against the Predators on Monday for a solid .927 save percentage but was still saddled with the loss. Considering the netminder has Taylor Hall and Phil Kessel in front of him, he should be able to count on more offensive support going forward. With Darcy Kuemper (lower body) on injured reserve, coach Rick Tocchet could opt to utilize Raanta again on Sunday versus Dallas.

Raanta turned aside 38 of 41 shots in a 3-2 loss to Nashville on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
It was a busy night for Raanta, who was making his second straight start since taking over No. 1 goaltending duties from the injured Darcy Kuemper. Raanta has looked the part so far, stopping 66 of 71 shots (.930 save percentage) in those two starts. Kuemper is labeled week-to-week with his lower-body injury, so Raanta should get an extended run as the workhorse.

Raanta will tend the road twine in Monday's game against the Predators, Craig Morgan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Raanta will get a bulk of the starts as long as Darcy Kuemper (lower body) -- who is considered week-to-week -- remains on the shelf. The 29-year-old Raanta has been impressive over limited action this year, posting a .920 save percentage and 2.66 GAA, although his 6-5-2 record is nothing to call home about. Nashville ranks 11th in the league with 3.32 goals per home game.

Raanta made 28 saves in a 5-2 win over Detroit on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Raanta was about 10 minutes from his second shutout of the season when Detroit's Filip Zadina finally solved him. With Darcy Kuemper (lower body) on the shelf and listed as week-to-week, Raanta will carry the load for Arizona for the foreseeable future. In 14 games this season, Raanta is 6-5-2 with a 2.67 GAA and .920 save percentage. If he's still available on your waiver wire, grab him and start him with confidence.

Raanta will start between the pipes for Sunday's road game against the Red Wings, Craig Morgan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Raanta will start in place of the injured Darcy Kuemper (lower body) who is classified as week-to-week. Raanta has been solid for the Coyotes this season, going 5-5-2 along with a 2.72 GAA and .919 save percentage in 13 appearances. The Finn will face a great matchup against a Red Wings offense that is last in the league in goals per game this year (2.16).

Raanta (illness) played 48 seconds and didn't face a shot in Thursday's 8-5 loss to the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Darcy Kuemper was forced from the game late in the third period with a lower-body injury, which led to Raanta's return to the crease. The Coyotes had the goalie pulled for much of the final three minutes as they tried to mount a late comeback. If Kuemper's injury is serious, Raanta would be in line to see the bulk of the starts going forward. He has a .919 save percentage in 13 appearances this season.
