Hurricanes' Antti Raanta: Back in NHL
Raanta was promoted from AHL Chicago on Tuesday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
The Hurricanes already have three goalies on the roster, so Raanta's chances of playing in the postseason are incredibly low. Raanta struggled in 24 games with the Hurricanes this campaign, and he was a touch worse with a 2-2-4 record, a 3.54 GAA and an .873 save percentage in eight contests with the Wolves after he was sent down.

Hurricanes' Antti Raanta: Waived Thursday
Raanta is on waivers Thursday, according to Chris Johnston of The Athletic.
Raanta was activated off injured reserve Wednesday after recovering from his lower-body issue. He has a 12-7-2 record, 2.99 GAA and .872 save percentage in 24 contests this season. With Frederik Andersen (illness) looking poised to return Thursday against Montreal, look for Raanta to head to AHL Chicago if he passes through waivers unclaimed.

Hurricanes' Antti Raanta: Off IR
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.

This is simply a paper move as Raanta has already missed the last 10 games. The 34-year-old doesn't have a clear timeline for his return at this time.

Hurricanes' Antti Raanta: Out for at least two weeks
Raanta (lower body) will be be out for at least a couple of weeks, according to Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.
Raanta, who was hurt in Thursday's 5-2 loss to Colorado, may not be available to return until later this month. Spencer Martin will serve as Pyotr Kochetkov's backup until Raanta is back to full strength. The 34-year-old Raanta has a 12-7-2 record this season with a 2.99 GAA and an .872 save percentage over 24 games played.

Hurricanes' Antti Raanta: Exits relief appearance
Raanta (lower body) will not return to Thursday's game versus the Avalanche.
Raanta didn't start the game, but he played the second period after Pyotr Kochetkov faltered late in the first. The Hurricanes were forced to go back to Kochetkov after Raanta was injured late in the middle frame, though he was able to finish the period, stopping all nine shots he faced. If Raanta misses time beyond Thursday, Kochetkov and Spencer Martin will presumably be the Hurricanes' goaltending duo.

Hurricanes' Antti Raanta: Light work in win
Raanta made 10 saves in a 3-1 win over the Coyotes on Saturday.
Raanta was barely tested Saturday. Logan Cooley was the only desert dog to score, and it came on a deflection. It was an odd contest -- the Canes spent almost the entire game in the Coyotes zone, but it took until the last minute of the game to secure the win. Raanta has won three of his last four starts, but it remains to be seen what role he will ultimately play with Pyotr Kochetkov back from a concussion and working his way into rotation.

Hurricanes' Antti Raanta: Gets starting nod
Raanta will protect the home goal versus the Coyotes on Saturday.
While Pyotr Kochetkov (concussion) came off injured reserve Friday, he won't displace Raanta from the starting spot just yet. Raanta has played well lately, going 4-2-1 with a 2.23 GAA and a .902 save percentage over his last seven games, all at home. The Coyotes are 2-3-1 over their last six games, scoring just 15 goals over that span.

Hurricanes' Antti Raanta: Likely to start Thursday
Raanta is expected to be between the home pipes Thursday versus New Jersey.
Spencer Martin picked up the start Wednesday, so it only makes sense that Raanta will get the call against the Devils. It has been a tough season for Raanta, as he was waived earlier in the season and spent a couple of games with AHL Chicago. Raanta is 10-7-2 with a 3.20 GAA and a poor .866 save percentage. He will take on the Devils, who have scored 156 goals in 45 games, 10th in the NHL.

Hurricanes' Antti Raanta: Tamed by Wild
Raanta turned aside 14 of 17 shots in Sunday's 5-2 loss to Minnesota.
The Wild's final two goals were scored into an empty net. The Hurricanes out-shot the opposition 42-17 in total, but Raanta had little chance on the first two pucks that beat him, one coming on a tip-in and the other through a screen. Since taking over as Carolina's No. 1 netminder in early January, the 34-year-old has gone 3-2-1 with a 2.28 GAA and an .898 save percentage -- he's faced more than 24 shots only once in six appearances.

Hurricanes' Antti Raanta: Starting vs. Wild
Raanta will guard the home net Sunday against Minnesota, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
Raanta will start a fourth consecutive game due to Pyotr Kochetkov (concussion) being on injured reserve. The 34-year-old Raanta is 10-6-2 with an unsightly .868 save percentage and 3.21 GAA. He'll face a Minnesota team that's shown some offensive firepower recently, scoring 14 goals in its last three games.

Hurricanes' Antti Raanta: Pulled after allowing four goals
Raanta was pulled early in the third period of Monday's 5-2 loss to the Kings.
Raanta had a rough night. He was able to make all of his saves on the power play but allowed four goals on only 19 even-strength shots. It was a tie game going into the third period but Raanta allowed three consecutive goals in just over four minutes before being pulled for teammate Yaniv Perets. This was the fourth straight start for Raanta -- he posted a save percentage above .950 in all three previous games. Raanta could get an opportunity to try and bounce back against Detroit on Friday.

Raanta will protect the home net Monday against the Kings, according to Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.
Raanta is coming off a 38-save performance in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Islanders. In 17 appearances this season, he has provided an 8-5-2 record with one shutout, a 3.27 GAA and an .870 save percentage. The Kings sit 13th in the league this campaign with 3.28 goals per contest.

Hurricanes' Antti Raanta: Busy man in overtime win
Raanta made 38 saves in a 3-2 overtime win over the Penguins on Saturday.
Raanta almost squeaked out a regulation win, but Bryan Rust drilled in a sharp-angle rebound in the last minute with the Pens playing 6-on-5. Raanta has been pressed back into starter's duties with Pyotr Kochetkov (concussion) out. Like you, we're holding our breath a little given his queasy play earlier this season. A couple more good starts, and we might start to believe, but not before that.
