Raanta will tend the twine in Sunday's game versus the Flames, Dave Vest of the Coyotes' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta returned Friday from an eight-game hiatus due to a lower-body injury, and he was lit up by the Avalanche for five goals on 39 shots. The Flames will be a tough test, as they rank fourth in the league with a 54.13 Corsi For percentage and averaged 4.25 goals per game over their last four outings.

As expected, Raanta (lower body) will return to action as Friday's home starter against the Avalanche, Alan Robinson of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Coyotes activated Raanta from injured reserve earlier in the day, and now it's been confirmed that he'll be the starter against the Avs with Darcy Kuemper sliding back to his customary backup role. Raanta, who crafted a three-game winning streak prior to sustaining his injury, will try to stave off an Avalanche team with a lethal top line. Gabriel Landeskog, Nathan MacKinnon and Mikko Rantanen have accounted for 67.9 percent of Colorado's scoring this season.

Raanta (lower body) was activated from injured reserve ahead of Friday's home game against the Avalanche, Craig Morgan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

We're still waiting for official word that Raanta will start against the Avalanche on Friday night, but between his his activation from IR and Hunter Miska being relegated to AHL Tucson, it's a foregone conclusion that Raanta will at least dress for this next contest.

Raanta (lower body) may be available for Friday's matchup with Colorado, per Craig Morgan of The Athletic.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta -- who missed the previous eight games due to his lower-body issue -- would need to be activated off injured reserve prior to suiting up. If the Finn returns to the lineup, he would bump Darcy Kuemper from the starter's crease and force the team to ship Hunter Miska down to the minors.

Raanta (lower body) won't dress for Wednesday's game against the Golden Knights, Dave Vest of the Coyotes' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta will miss an eighth consecutive game Wednesday, but he's still expected to return in the near future, so it's possible he'll be activated in time for Friday's game against the Avalanche. Darcy Kuemper will continue to shoulder the load in goal for the Coyotes until Raanta is cleared to play.

Raanta (lower body) could return to action next week, Alan Robinson of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Reading between the lines, Raanta will miss Saturday's home tilt against the Bruins, but there seems to be a chance that he'll be activated from injured reserve in time for Wednesday's clash with the Golden Knights. The Coyotes have relied on Darcy Kuemper and to a lesser extent, Hunter Miska, in his stead.

Raanta (lower body) is improving, but remains day-to-day and will miss Thursday's matchup with Nashville, Catherine Silverman of The Athletic Arizona reports.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta will miss his sixth straight outing due to his lower-body issue. Prior to getting hurt, the netminder was riding a three-game winning streak, including a 48-save victory over Carolina. Given backup Darcy Kuemper's struggles during Raanta's absence, the Finn should probably be considered a lock to retake the starting job was given the all-clear.

Raanta (lower body) will not dress for Tuesday's road game against the Red Wings, Dave Vest of the Coyotes' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta's will miss his fifth consecutive game due to the lower-body injury. The Finn's absence has caused the 'Yotes to rely exclusively on career backup Darcy Kuemper, who's posted a 1-2-1 record, 3.50 GAA and .896 save percentage without Raanta in the picture. Hunter Miska reportedly will stay on board as the backup in the upcoming clash against Detroit.

Raanta (lower body) won't play versus the Red Wings on Tuesday, Craig Morgan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta is skating, but head coach Rick Tocchet wants him to practice a few times before he gets back into action. The Coyotes are probably itching to put the Finn between the pipes, as he has a 2.10 GAA and .929 save percentage in nine games this year. For now, Darcy Kuemper will remain the interim number-one goal for Arizona.

Raanta (lower body) isn't in the projected lineup for Saturday's game against the Penguins, NHL.com's Wes Crosby reports.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta is still dealing with a lower-body injury, so he'll likely take the day off while Hunter Miska backs up Darcy Kuemper against Pittsburgh. Another update on the 29-year-old Finn's status should be released prior to Sunday's matchup with Washington.
