2 years agoCarolina Hurricanes goalie Antti Raanta could start in Game 1 Monday against the New York Islanders. Raanta spent most of the 2022-23 season as a backup for the Hurricanes but ended the campaign on a high note with an impressive 19-3-3 record, 2.23 goals-against-average, and a .910 save percentage. Despite his limited playing time during the regular season, the 33-year-old has demonstrated his playoff potential. In his previous 18 postseason appearances, he maintained a .912 save percentage and a 2.48 goals-against-average while posting a 6-6-0. Now, he is set to face the New York Islanders in the playoffs, who ranked fifth in the NHL for goals allowed after finishing their 2022-23 season with a 42-31-9 record.
