EDGE Analysis

Pyotr Kochetkov was sent down Wednesday, so it's no surprise that Raanta will suit up for the first time since suffering an injury March 7. It's unclear when Raanta will get back between the pipes, as Frederik Andersen can be expected to start a majority of the Hurricanes' remaining games.
