Raanta stopped 14 of 18 shots in Thursday's 7-4 loss to the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta was pulled early in the second period after giving up four goals, including two on Kraken power plays and one while they were shorthanded. The Hurricanes' offense ultimately got him off the hook, with Pyotr Kochetkov giving up the game-winning goal in the third period. Raanta has not looked sharp so far, stopping just 45 of 55 shots across three appearances (two starts). He has a loose grip on the starting job while Frederik Andersen (upper body) is out.

Raanta is slated to guard the road net Thursday versus Seattle, according to Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta has a 1-1-0 record, 3.16 GAA and .838 save percentage in two contests this campaign. Seattle has been struggling, going 0-3-1 to start the season while scoring just three goals in that span.

Raanta stopped 12 of 14 shots in relief of Frederik Andersen (upper body) in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta entered early in the first period after Andersen took a shot off the mask and left the game. While it wasn't a particularly sharp outing, Raanta ended up with his first win in his second appearance this season. He would likely take over the starting job if Andersen misses any extended period of time. The Hurricanes' road trip continues Thursday in Seattle.

Raanta allowed four goals on 23 shots in Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Ducks. The last two goals were empty-netters.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta was blitzed for three tallies in the first period. The Hurricanes improved as the game went on, but they couldn't catch up. The 34-year-old had a 2.23 GAA and a .910 save percentage in 27 games last season, but this was a disappointing first start of the season. With Frederik Andersen winning his first two starts, Raanta will likely be back in the backup role for Tuesday's game in San Jose.

Raanta will guard the road goal in Sunday's game versus the Ducks, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta will start the second half of a back-to-back after Frederik Andersen yielded five goals in a shootout win over the Kings on Saturday. The expectation is that the Hurricanes will rotate goalies regularly this year rather than riding one starter, but Raanta will likely handle a slightly smaller share of the workload. The 34-year-old impressed in 27 games last season with a 19-3-3 record, 2.23 GAA and .910 save percentage.

Raanta inked a one-year, $1.5 million deal with Carolina on Saturday, Darren Dreger of TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta looks poised to enter the upcoming season as the No. 1 option between the pipes with the potential departure of Frederik Andersen. Last season, the 33-year-old logged 27 games, in which he posted a 19-3-3 record with a 2.23 GAA and four shutouts.

Raanta stopped 24 of 26 shots in Saturday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Panthers in Game 2.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta turned in a solid effort, but Jesperi Kotkaniemi's hooking penalty came back to bite the Hurricanes quickly. Raanta is now 3-3 across six playoff appearances, allowing 15 goals on 165 shots. It wouldn't be surprising to see Frederik Andersen back in goal for Game 3 on Monday, which would send Raanta back to the backup role.

Raanta will guard the home goal versus the Panthers on Saturday in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals, Mark Lazerus of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta hasn't played since Game 5 of the first round after battling an illness. In that time, Frederik Andersen took over the starting role. It's possible that head coach Rod Brind'Amour is choosing to rest Andersen after he played all of Thursday's quadruple-overtime loss in Game 1. Raanta has gone 3-2 with a 2.59 GAA and a .906 save percentage in five playoff appearances this postseason.

Raanta (illness) is good to return to the lineup for Game 5 against New Jersey on Thursday, according to Tom Gulitti of NHL.com.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta (illness) won't be in the lineup for Game 4 against New Jersey on Tuesday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta will miss his third straight contest despite returning to practice Monday. He has a 3-2 record this postseason, having allowed 13 goals on 139 shots. Raanta's absence could lead to Frederik Andersen getting the start again Tuesday.
