Raanta (lower body) was removed from injured reserve Wednesday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
Raanta's activation indicates he's ready to return to the goaltending mix for the Hurricanes. The 34-year-old will likely slot in as the No. 2 goalie behind Pyotr Kochetkov for now, however, Frederik Andersen (illness) appears poised to return to action soon, and he could take over as the Hurricanes' No. 1 option in net down the stretch.
