Rangers will have Antti Raanta in the crease in Chicago
New York Rangers are starting goalie Antti Raanta in goal versus the Chicago Blackhawks on Friday.
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.
