Raanta will patrol the crease during Saturday's road matchup with the Blue Jackets, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Raanta was pretty sharp in his last start Dec. 12 versus Vancouver, stopping 24 of 26 shots, but he ultimately suffered his third loss of the season due to insufficient goal support from his teammates. The 32-year-old backstop will try to bounce back with a win in a tough road matchup with a Columbus club that's 10-3-1 at home this year.
