Raanta allowed three goals on 32 shots in the Coyotes overtime loss in Colorado last Saturday. Darcy Kuemper is playing very well right now, so Raanta will need a strong outing vs. a weak Senators team to remain in-line for a large workload. Since landing with the Coyotes, Raanta is 14-15-4 with a .929 SV% at Gila River Arena. He is a must-start this evening.
Raanta will make his season debut after recovering from a lower-body injury. A knee injury limited the 30-year-old netminder to 12 games last season. He posted a 5-6-0 record with a .906 SV% and a 2.88 GAA. It will be interesting to see which Raanta we see now that he's finally healthy. He's posted a remarkable .920 SV% across his six-year career, but he draws a tough matchup tonight against the Avalanche.
Raanta has dealt with injuries in his first two seasons with the Coyotes and was limited to just 12 starts in 2019. So this is far from the ideal start to the 2020 season for Raanta. If he is unable to go in their season opener, the Coyotes will turn to Darcy Kuemper, who went 27-20-8 with a 2.33 GAA and .925 SV% last season while filling in for Raanta.
Raanta has been out since November 27th and was moved to IR on Thursday night, suggesting that he will miss some more time. Adin Hill’s strong play likely made this decision a little easier for the Coyotes and is a goaltender worth monitoring on the waiver wire right now.
Raanta has missed the last two games with a lower-body injury but could be back between the pipes on Tuesday. With Adin Hill performing extremely well in Raanta’s absence, the Coyotes will likely elect to stick with the hot hand and give Raanta an extra couple of days.
Raanta was forced to leave Tuesday’s game in Minnesota with a lower-body injury. Raanta stopped 17 of 20 shots before not returning for the third period. Adin Hill took over for him and is likely to start on Thursday if Raanta is unavailable. Head coach Rick Tocchet said that Raanta was being re-evaluated on Wednesday.
Raanta allowed six goals on 26 shots in the Coyotes loss to the Flames on Sunday. The Coyotes didn’t really show up for Sunday’s game and it led to a second-straight poor outing for Raanta. He has allowed a combined 11 goals on the last 65 shots (.831 SV%) that he has faced and things won’t get any easier tonight in Minnesota. Raanta is 2-2-0 with a 2.47 GAA and .913 SV% on the road this year.
Raanta has missed the last eight games with a lower-body injury, but has been practicing with teammates all week and could be back between the pipes on Friday. His return to the crease would be a welcomed sight for the Coyotes. The 29-year-old is 5-4-0 with a 2.10 GAA and .929 SV% in nine games this season.
Raanta left Tuesday’s practice for “precautionary” reasons, but the Coyotes labeled him as day-to-day. With Raanta still battling injury, Hunter Miska was recalled from Tucson (AHL) and is expected to backup Darcy Kuemper on Thursday.
Raanta left practice a little early as a precaution after suffering a minor “tweak.” Raanta is scheduled to start Thursday’s game in Philadelphia, but Darcy Kuemper will get the nod if he’s unavailable.
Raanta stopped 25 of 26 shots in the Coyotes win over the Senators on Tuesday. Raanta has won two in a row and three of his last four starts while posting a 1.76 GAA and .943 SV%. Tonight he will face a Hurricanes team that has lost five of their last seven games while averaging just 2.00 goals per game.
Raanta stopped 30 of 31 shots in the Coyotes 7-1 win over the Lightning on Saturday. Raanta has gone 1-2-0 with a 1.68 GAA and .932 SV% on home-ice this season and is a great option tonight vs. the Senators. The Coyotes offence has gotten hot and that will go a long way for Raanta’s win total.
Raanta allowed four goals on 31 shots in Winnipeg last Saturday. Raanta served as the Coyotes backup for the last two games because of an illness, but is expected to draw back into the crease tonight. Raanta has just two wins in six starts despite posting a 2.32 GAA and .911 SV% so far.

Raanta will backup Darcy Kuemper for the second straight game. Raanta is feeling better, but Kuemper played well in Columbus, so they’ll give him another start.
