Raanta will get the starting nod in Monday's Game 1 home clash with the Islanders, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta came up just one victory shy of a 20-win season, which would have been his first time reaching that threshold since 2017-18, when he was with the Coyotes. The Hurricanes have been rotating starts between Raanta and Frederik Andersen, and it appears that trend will continue into the postseason. In his last four appearances, Raanta has posted a 3-1-0 record, 1.74 GAA and one shutout. If head coach Rod Brind'Amour continues the flip between backstops, look for Andersen to be between the pipes for Game 2 on Wednesday.
