• Coyotes' Antti Raanta: Defeats Sabres at home

  03/01/2020 •

  Raanta allowed a pair of goals on 27 shots during Saturday's 5-2 win at home over the Sabres.

Despite the return of Darcy Kuemper, Raanta's recent run of good form should be enough to earn him more action, so look for him to start at least one of Arizona's upcoming three games on the road.
