Antti Raanta Stands Tall On Monday
5 years agoArizona Coyotes goaltender Antii Raanta earned his 11th victory of the season on Monday, leading his team to a 3-2 road win over the Montreal Canadiens. The 30-year-old, who was originally scheduled to backup fellow netminder Darcy Kuemper in his return to the crease, turned aside 26 of 28 shots against in the contest. With Kuemper suffering a setback in his recovering back from a lower-body injury, Raanta looks like he'll retain his role as the Yotes' starting backstopper for the foreseeable future. The Finnish native has posted a 2.82 goals-against average, a .915 save percentage and two shutouts in 27 appearances in 2019-2020. Still just 51% owned in Yahoo! leagues, Raanta could be a valuable pickup for the next few weeks.
