Raanta (lower body) is on injured reserve, per the NHL's official media site.
EDGE Analysis
Raanta just cannot seem to stay healthy, but the silver lining for the Coyotes is that Adin Hill has been stellar in his place, with the 22-year-old goalie having won four of his first five games with a minuscule 0.56 GAA and correspondingly superb .977 save percentage over that span. If you need help in goal for fantasy hockey purposes, check to see if Hill is available.

Raanta (lower body) won't dress for Thursday's game against the Capitals, NHL.com's Alan Robinson reports.
EDGE Analysis
Raanta will miss a fourth consecutive game Thursday, but he's been practicing with his teammates since Monday, so he should be ready to return soon. Rookie Adin Hill has been exceptional during Raanta's absence, so there's no reason for the Coyotes to rush the Finnish netminder back before he's fully healthy.

Raanta (lower body) won't dress for Tuesday's game against the Kings, Dave Vest of the Coyotes' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Raanta practiced fully Monday, so he's likely nearing a return to the lineup, but he'll have to wait for Thursday's matchup with the Capitals for his next opportunity to do so. Adin Hill will get the start in goal against LA.

Raanta (lower body) completed a full practice Monday, and his availability for Tuesday's contest with the Kings will be decided the day of the game.
EDGE Analysis
Raanta was great last season, his first with the Coyotes, posting a 2.24 GAA and .930 save percentage. He got off to a great start to this season before getting hurt for the first time. He may not have been ready to return, as he struggled through three games before becoming an injury scratch once again. As such, even if he plays, you may want to make sure that the 29-year-old goalie is back up to full speed before having faith.

Raanta (lower body) is questionable for Tuesday's road game against the Kings, Alan Robinson of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reading between the lines, this means Arizona's chief puck plugger will miss Saturday's home clash with the Blues, with newly acquired netminder Calvin Pickard serving as the primary backup to Adin Hill.

Raanta (lower body) did not practice Wednesday, Dave Vest of the Coyotes' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
By the sounds of it, Raanta could be looking at an extended absence as a result of this most recent lower-body injury. While the Coyotes' No. 1 netminder remains out of action, along with backup Darcy Kuemper (lower body), Adin Hill and Hunter Miska will patrol the blue paint.

Raanta left Tuesday's game versus the Wild with a lower-body injury and won't return.
EDGE Analysis
Raanta was battling a minor, undisclosed injury ahead of this game and it's unclear if they're related. The 29-year-old was having a middling outing by allowing three goals on 20 shots before departing. He was replaced by Adin Hill and will likely be evaluated further Wednesday.

Raanta (undisclosed) will patrol the crease in Tuesday's road game against the Wild, Dave Vest of the Coyotes' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Raanta missed Monday's practice due to an undisclosed issue, but whatever held him out clearly wasn't overly serious. The Finnish netminder has struggled recently, suffering back-to-back losses to the Avalanche and Calgary while registering a disastrous 6.34 GAA and .831 save percentage over that span. He'll look to get back on track and pick up his sixth victory of the season in a tough road matchup with a Minnesota team that's 8-2-2 at home this campaign.

Raanta was absent from Monday's practice session and is day-to-day with a minor issue, per Craig Morgan of The Athletic.
EDGE Analysis
Raanta is just two games back from an eight-game absence due to a lower-body issue. Coach Rick Tocchet called the netminder's absence a maintenance day and didn't elaborate in regards to whether this latest problem is related to his previous injury. The Finn is winless in his prior two outings with an abysmal 3.64 GAA and .831 save percentage. With Darcy Kuemper (lower body) also dealing with an injury and Raanta struggling, the Yotes could considering looking at Adin Hill versus Minnesota on Tuesday.

Raanta gave up all six goals on 26 shots in a 6-1 loss to Calgary on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Sunday's performance saw Raanta and the Coyotes give up three shorthanded goals as well as a power-play marker. Not exactly getting it done on special teams. Meanwhile, the Coyotes' netminder has conceded 11 goals in two starts since returning from a lower-body injury. Next up for Arizona is a road contest against the Wild on Tuesday.
