What It Means:

The Rangers' backup netminder has shined in his handful of starts this season. Through Raanta's eight starts, he holds a 6-1-0 record, while allowing 2.05 goals per game and posting a .932 save percentage.

Our models don't think much of Raanta's chances Friday as he is our second-worst value goalie option. We project 2.6 goals allowed, 25.7 saves and a 45.0 percent chance of winning versus the Blackhawks.
