Raanta stopped 32 of 34 shots in win over the Coyotes last Saturday. In his first two NHL starts he is 2-0-0 with a 2.00 GAA and .929 SV%. He will make his third start tonight vs. Anaheim as the Hawks are in the tail-end of a back-to-back. He will usually be a strong spot-start option because of how good Chicago is, however the matchup tonight is likely one that should be avoided.

In his first NHL start Raanta turned aside 20 of 22 shots in a 3-2 third period comeback win. He will go tonight against Mike Smith and the Coyotes. Phoenix currently ranks 4th in the NHL in scoring so he is not as inviting of a spot-start tonight as he was on Wednesday against Calgary.

Raanta stopped 14 of 16 shots in his NHL debut when he relieved Corey Crawford on November 19. Wednesday will be his first NHL starts for the 24-year-old Finnish netminder. He is not expected to see many starts behind Crawford but this rare start could be spot-start worthy with the Hawks taking on the Flames.

Nikolai Khabibulin has played poorly this season and was injured on Saturday. Raanta, 24, is 7-5-0 with a 2.83 GAA and .914 SV% in 14 appearances for Rockford this season. It is his first season in North America, he spent 2007-13 playing in the SM-liiga.
