Contrary to a previous report, Raanta won't start Tuesday's game versus the Blue Jackets, Craig Morgan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
In his place, Darcy Kuemper will draw the start. It's possible Raanta suffered an injury in warmups, but there's no indication he won't be available as a backup, either. Coach Rick Tocchet will give an update after the game.

Raanta will be between the pipes on the road against the Blue Jackets on Tuesday, Dave Vest of the Coyotes' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Raanta has faced a heavy workload to start the year, as he has made six of a possible seven starts and has seen an average of 26.3 shots per outing. The netminder posted decent numbers in those contests (.911 save percentage), but only has two wins to show for it. At this pace, the Finn's next break will likely come Nov. 10 or 11 when the Yotes have their first back-to-back of the season.

Raanta made 27 saves in a 5-3 loss to Winnipeg on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
It's rare for Raanta to get any offensive support, but he did again Saturday. This time, he couldn't hold back the potent Jets. He entered play Saturday with a strong 2.32 GAA and solid .911 save percentage. Raanta's win totals may be depressed in the desert, but his talent should keep his ratios in a solid place for fantasy owners.

Raanta will face the Jets on the road Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Raanta stood tall for a 33-save win against the Blackhawks in Chicago on Thursday, but now he'll meet a Jets team that features the league's fourth-ranked power play (35.3 percent) along with early-season success (3-0-1) in Winnipeg.

Raanta made 33 saves in Thursday's 4-1 win over Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
Raanta benefited from an offensive explosion by Arizona's standards, as the team had scored just three goals total in its first five games. His wins ceiling is obviously capped by playing with what will almost certainly end up being the league's most inept offense, but Raanta's capable of a top-10 finish in rate stats. Last season, he ranked second in both GAA (2.24) and save percentage (.930).

Raanta will be between the pipes in a visit to the Blackhawks on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Raanta played great when healthy last season, posting a 2.24 GAA and .930 save percentage. This year, he has a 2.21 GAA, but actually has a .903 save percentage somehow. That should improve, but a road game against a team that has averaged 4.40 goals per contest to start the year will provide the Finn with a tough challenge.

Raanta stopped 20 of 23 shots Saturday, taking a 3-0 loss to Buffalo.
EDGE Analysis
This was actually Raanta's worst performance of the season, as he hadn't given up more than two goals before Saturday. Raanta could have been better, but it wouldn't have mattered in terms of getting the win given that the Coyotes never found the net. After three solid games, he was due for a below-average performance, and that shouldn't take away from the solid start he's had this year. If he's on your roster, there's no need to overreact to one difficult night.

Raanta will start in goal Saturday night against the visiting Sabres, Richard Morin of the Arizona Republic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Raanta, who is 1-2-0 with a 1.96 GAA and .914 save percentage, will face a Sabres team that ranks no better than 15th in any of the key offensive categories to start the season.

Raanta will tend the twine on the road against the Ducks on Wednesday, Richard Morin of The Arizona Republic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Raanta is still looking for his first win of the year, after having come up short in his previous clash with Anaheim -- despite having allowed just one goal on 20 shots. It's hard to blame the netminder for the Yotes early struggles this year when you consider his teammates have yet to score a goal.

Raanta is listed in Alan Robinson of NHL.com's "Players to Watch" preview of Saturday's home game against the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Raanta allowed three goals on 25 shots to the Stars in the season opener Thursday, and he could be under heavy pressure against a Ducks team that is brimming with talented rookies getting early-season chances due to injuries to some of their more established forwards. Maxime Comtois, who scored in his NHL debut, is just one of the guys that Raanta will need to keep close tabs on in this next start.
