Raanta (illness) participated in practice Monday, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.

EDGE Analysis

It appears as though Raanta, who has missed the past two contests, will be available for Tuesday's Game 4 matchup against New Jersey. Frederik Andersen and Pyotr Kochetkov struggled in Sunday's 8-4 loss to Devils, so Raanta could return to the crease Tuesday.

Raanta (illness) won't be in the lineup Sunday for Game 3 against New Jersey, Dan Rosen of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta, who is considered day-to-day, also sat out Friday's 6-1 win over the Devils. He has a 3-2 record this postseason with a 2.59 GAA and a .906 save percentage. As a result of Raanta's absence, Pyotr Kochetkov is projected to suit up as Frederik Andersen's backup again.

Raanta (illness) is still feeling ill Saturday after missing Friday's Game 2 against the Devils, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Rod Brind'Amour said that Raanta is not feeling great Saturday, but he is feeling better than Friday. Raanta will travel with the team to New Jersey in time for Sunday's Game 3. Even if he feels well enough to dress, Raanta will likely have to settle for a backup role behind Frederik Andersen, who gave up only three goals on 81 shots in the last three games. Raanta is 3-2 in the playoffs, having surrendered 13 goals on 139 shots versus the Islanders in the first round.

Raanta (illness) will not suit up for Game 2 against the Devils on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta hasn't appeared in a contest since Game 5 of last round against the Islanders. Frederik Andersen will make his third straight start while Pyotr Kochetkov serves as the backup.

Raanta allowed three goals on 22 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta is now 3-2 with a .906 save percentage in the playoffs. While the 33-year-old has been solid overall in the series, the Hurricanes could turn to Frederik Andersen for Game 6. Rannta went 19-3-3 with a .910 save percentage during the regular season.

Raanta is expected between the pipes at home in Tuesday's Game 5 clash with the Islanders, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta has started all four postseason contests in which he's posted a 3-1-0 record, 2.46 GAA and .915 save percentage. Even with the return of Frederik Andersen, the 33-year-old Raanta has seemingly cemented himself as the playoff starter. Still, if the Finn stumbles in a few games, he could see himself replaced by the veteran Andersen.

Raanta made 27 saves Sunday during a 5-2 win over the Islanders in Game 4 of the Hurricanes' first-round series.

EDGE Analysis

He took a shutout into the third period, and while the Isles did finally get on the board, they were down 4-0 before they did so. The 33-year-old netminder sports a 3-1 record and a .915 save percentage to begin Carolina's playoff run, and with Frederik Andersen (undisclosed) not 100 percent, Raanta should be between the pipes again Tuesday as the Canes try to punch their tickets to the second round.

Raanta will guard the road goal Sunday against the Islanders in Game 4, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta made 32 saves on 36 shots in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Islanders. He has a 2-1 record this postseason, permitting eight goals on 88 shots. New York has posted 3.00 goals per game during the playoffs.

Raanta is 0-7 with a 3.78 GAA and .874 save percentage on the road in his NHL career, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

While Raanta is weak on the road, he is a perfect 8-0 at home in his career, with a 1.64 GAA and .939 save percentage. Raanta dropped Game 3 on Long Island, giving up four goals on 36 shots Friday. The Hurricanes will likely go with Frederik Andersen in Game 4 on Sunday, if he has recovered from his illness. Stay tuned.

Raanta stopped 32 of 36 shots Friday in a 5-1 loss to the Islanders in Game 3 of the Hurricanes' first-round series.

EDGE Analysis

The two teams were tied 1-1 heading into the third period, but Raanta wound up on the wrong end of history when the Isles set a playoff record by scoring four times in only 2:18, although the netminder was on the bench for the last one. The stumble might open the door for Frederik Andersen to take the crease for Game 4 on Sunday, but Raanta's 2.60 GAA and .909 save percentage through the first three games of the series have helped Carolina to a 2-1 lead.
