Antti Raanta Clears Waivers, Assigned To AHL
1 year agoCarolina Hurricanes goaltender Antti Raanta cleared waivers on Sunday and has been assigned to the AHL. The team decided to waive the veteran netminder following a string of poor performances from Raanta, who is sporting career-worst marks this season with a 3.61 goals-against average and a .854 save percentage. Raanta's lackluster performances have limited him to a mediocre 6-5-1 record. Since making his NHL debut in 2013-14 with Chicago, Raanta has been very reliable with his work, but things have gone horribly wrong for him in 2023-24. Over his last two appearances, Raanta allowed 10 goals on 54 shots to post a .815 save percentage. Carolina has summoned Yaniv Perets from the Norfolk Admirals of the ECHL to work as Pyotr Kochetkov's backup on Sunday versus Washington.
