Signs with Swiss team Raanta signed a one-year contract with Geneve-Servette HC of Switzerland's National League on Monday.
Officially leaving NHL Raanta has concluded his NHL career but will continue playing in Europe, the NHLPA announced Tuesday.
Impact Raanta reportedly isn't interested in a two-way contract or a tryout agreement. He finished with 277 career NHL regular-season appearances, recording a 139-80-29 record, a 2.48 GAA and a .915 save percentage, and he also went 9-9 with a 2.48 GAA and a .911 save percentage over 24 playoff games. Raanta suited up for the Blackhawks, Rangers, Coyotes and Hurricanes during his time in the NHL.

Back in NHL Raanta was promoted from AHL Chicago on Tuesday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
Impact 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 season, 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.

Waived Thursday Raanta is on waivers Thursday, according to Chris Johnston of The Athletic.
Impact 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. Raanta might have been placed on waivers to provide Carolina with more roster flexibility heading into Friday's trade deadline, so it's possible he'll remain on the NHL roster even if he clears.

Off IR Raanta (lower body) was removed from injured reserve on Wednesday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
Impact Raanta's activation means 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 going forward, which will likely mean less playing time for the already sparsely-deployed Spencer Martin.

Moved to IR Raanta (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Friday, per CapFriendly.
Impact 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.

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.
Impact 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.

Exits relief appearance Raanta (lower body) will not return to Thursday's game versus the Avalanche.
Impact 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 be the Hurricanes' goaltending duo.

Light work in win Raanta made 10 saves in a 3-1 win over the Coyotes on Saturday.
Impact He was barely tested Saturday. Logan Cooley was the only desert dog to score; it came on a deflection. It was an odd game -- 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 injury (concussion) and working his way into rotation.

Gets starting nod Raanta will protect the home goal versus the Coyotes on Saturday.
Impact 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 with just 15 goals scored over that span.
JANUARY 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Earns 11th win of 2023-24 Raanta saved 23 of 25 shots in a 3-2 win over New Jersey on Saturday.
Impact Raanta allowed two goals on 10 shots in the third period but held on to win the contest. He improved to 11-7-2 with a 3.14 GAA and an .869 save percentage in 22 contests this season. This is an encouraging showing after Raanta stopped just 44 of 53 shots (.830 save percentage) over his previous three outings.
JANUARY 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Likely to start Thursday Raanta is expected to be between the home pipes Thursday versus New Jersey.
Impact 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.

Tamed by Wild Raanta turned aside 14 of 17 shots in Sunday's 5-2 loss to Minnesota.
Impact 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 but an .898 save percentage, as he's faced more than 24 shots only once in six appearances.
JANUARY 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Starting vs. Wild Raanta will guard the home net Sunday against Minnesota, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
Impact It'll be the fourth consecutive start for Raanta with Pyotr Kochetkov (concussion) 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 their last three games.
JANUARY 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Light workload in win Raanta stopped 10 of 12 shots in Friday's 4-2 win over the Red Wings.
Impact Raanta allowed a goal early in the first period on a Klim Kostin snap shot and a power-play goal late in the second. He never faced more than five shots in a single period and he was able to secure his third win in the last four games. The 34-year-old saved a respectable 71 of 79 shots (.898 save percentage) over that span. He has a 10-6-2 record, 3.21 GAA and an .868 save percentage in 20 outings this season.

Tending twine Friday Raanta will face the Red Wings at home Friday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
Impact Raanta will make his third consecutive start Friday. He allowed a combined six goals on 64 shots over his previous two appearances. The veteran netminder is 9-6-2 despite an ugly .869 save percentage and 3.28 GAA this season. Raanta has been slightly better at home with an .873 save percentage in 10 contests.

Pulled after allowing four goals Raanta was pulled early in the third period of Monday's 5-2 loss to the Kings.
Impact 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 and was pulled for teammate Yaniv Perets. This was the fourth straight start for Raanta, where he posted a save percentage above .950 in all three previous games. Raanta will look to bounce back when they play the Red Wings on Friday.

Tending twine Monday Raanta will protect the home net Monday against the Kings, according to Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.
Impact 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.

Busy man in overtime win Raanta made 38 saves in a 3-2 overtime win over the Penguins on Saturday.
Impact Raanta almost squeaked out a regulation win, but Bryan Rust drilled in a sharp-angle rebound in the last minute and the Pens playing 6-on-5. He's 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. But the Canes have little choice to put their faith in Raanta. A couple more good starts, and we might start to believe. But not before that.

Facing Penguins Raanta is expected to get the starting assignment at home versus Pittsburgh on Saturday, according to Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.
Impact Pyotr Kochetkov (upper body) was injured Thursday and the Hurricanes recalled Yaniv Perets to be Raanta's backup. Raanta has struggled this season -- he was put on waivers and sent to the minors earlier in the season -- as he is 8-5-2 with a 3.27 GAA and an .862 save percentage. The Penguins are averaging 3.05 goals per outing, 20th in the NHL.

Falls into win Thursday Raanta was credited with the win after replacing Pyotr Kochetkov (upper body) midway through the second period of Thursday's 6-3 victory over the Ducks, stopping all three shots he...
Impact It might have been the easiest win of Raanta's career given how few shots were sent his way, as Carolina responded with fury after Kochetkov took a hit to the head on a rush by Isac Lundestrom -- Stefan Noesen scored the game-winner less than a minute after Kochetkov left the game. Raanta could be thrust into the starting role for Carolina if Kochetkov's injury proves to be serious, but he has looked better since being recalled from AHL Chicago in late December, going 2-0-1 in three appearances while stopping 42 of 46 shots (.913 save percentage).
JANUARY 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Loses low-scoring game in shootout Raanta stopped 21 of 22 shots in Saturday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Blues.
Impact Although Raanta ended up in the loss column, he was sharp all night. He allowed only one goal early in the first period on a breakaway by Nathan Walker and the Blues could not solve him until the eventual loss in the shootout. Raanta has only played four games since allowing eight goals against the Lightning on November 24. This was a bright spot for Raanta as he was placed on waivers in December and has been severely outplayed by Pyotr Kochetkov since the injury to Frederik Anderson. The 34-year old Raanta looks to catch some momentum as he competes for more starts in net for the Hurricanes.
JANUARY 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Set to start Saturday Raanta is expected to start at home against St. Louis on Saturday, according to Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal.
Impact Raanta stopped 18 of 21 shots in a 5-3 win over Montreal in his last start Dec. 28. He has a 7-5-1 record, 3.56 GAA and .855 save percentage in 15 appearances this season. The Blues, who rank 26th offensively this year with 2.86 goals per game, are a favorable matchup for Raanta.
