Coyotes' Antti Raanta: Makes 20 saves in defeat

This was actually Raanta's worst performance of the season, as he hadn't given up more than two goals before Saturday. Raanta could have been better, but it wouldn't have mattered in terms of getting the win given that the Coyotes never found twine. After three solid games, he was due for a below-average performance, and that shouldn't take away from the solid start he's had this year. If he's on your roster, there's no need to overreact to one difficult night.

Coyotes' Antti Raanta: Earns first win

The Finnish goaltender earned what might be a rare victory for him this season. Through three games, he's allowed just six goals on 70 shots with a 1-2-0 record the show for it. Raanta will likely suit up against the Sabres on Saturday, another winnable contest for his Coyotes.

Coyotes' Antti Raanta: Between pipes Wednesday

Raanta is still looking for his first win of the year after having come up short in his previous clash with Anaheim, despite having allowed just one goal on 20 shots. It's hard to blame the netminder for the Yotes' early struggles this year when you consider his teammates have yet to score a goal.

Coyotes' Antti Raanta: Plays well despite loss

Despite an 0-2 start to the season, Raanta has looked every bit as good as he did last season. Through two games, Raanta has made 41 saves on 45 shots. If the team around him can improve, it figures to take some of the pressure off Raanta.

Coyotes' Antti Raanta: Implied starter Saturday

Raanta allowed three goals on 25 shots to the Stars in the season opener Thursday, and he could be under heavy pressure against a Ducks team that is brimming with talented rookies getting early-season chances due to injuries to some of the team's more established forwards. Maxime Comtois, who scored in his NHL debut, is just one of the guys that Raanta will need to keep close tabs on in this next start.
