Raanta Starting Tonight Against Islanders
With the reports ahead of tonight’s Game 1 matchup against the New York Islanders, Antti Raanta will be in between the pipes for the Carolina Hurricanes.
The last few starts for Frederik Andersen have been shaky, to say the least. Despite what some feel, the goals given up to Andersen were ultimately his to stop and the confidence level of the players in front of him was at a dangerously low level.
The fact that Rod Brind’Amour had a healthy and quality type option in Raanta is a luxury that should be used at this time of year. Additionally, Pyotr Kochetkov was brought up to the team with the Chicago Wolves season coming to an end.
