Antti Raanta

Antti Raanta (born 12 May 1989) is a Finnish professional ice hockey goaltender who is currently playing with Genève-Servette HC of the National League (NL).

[7] Raanta made his NHL debut against the Colorado Avalanche on 19 November, stopping 14 of 16 shots in relief of starter Corey Crawford.

Raanta was named Rookie of the Month (an honour shared with Los Angeles' goaltender Martin Jones) for December 2013, going 8–1–3 with one shutout.

[9] On 12 January 2014, Raanta helped end his team's losing streak; the Blackhawks had previously lost three-straight games, with Crawford in goal for all three losses.

[11] In the 2014–15 season, on 15 November, the Blackhawks announced that Raanta had been assigned to the Rockford IceHogs to make room for rookie goaltender Scott Darling.

[12] On 17 December, Raanta was called up from the IceHogs and placed on the Blackhawks' roster, replacing goaltender Darling, who was himself demoted back to Rockford.

Unable to earn back the backup role on the Blackhawks at season's end and maintain it, on 27 June 2015, Raanta was traded to the New York Rangers in exchange for Ryan Haggerty.

[15] On 23 June 2017, he was traded by the Rangers along with Derek Stepan to the Arizona Coyotes for Anthony DeAngelo and the 7th overall pick in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft (which became Lias Andersson).

[17] After four seasons within the Coyotes organization, largely plagued with injury, Raanta left as a free agent and was signed to a two-year, $4 million contract with the Carolina Hurricanes on 28 July 2021.

In his third year with Carolina during the 2023–24 season, following a stretch out of form, the Hurricanes placed Raanta on waivers on 16 December 2023, and he was subsequently re-assigned to the Chicago Wolves of the AHL.
