Antti Raanta defending net for Rangers against Pittsburgh

New York Rangers goalie Antti Raanta will start Tuesday night's contest against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

What It Means:

Henrik Lundqvist has started the last three games for the Rangers, but Raanta steps in on Tuesday for his third draw of the year with Pittsburgh. He's gone 1-0-0 in the previous two, recording a .923 save percentage while allowing 2.76 goals per game. That's an impressive feat considering the Penguins are tied for the league-lead in scoring with 3.34 goals per game.

numberFire's models project Raanta for 25.9 saves, 2.6 goals against and a 38.0 percent chance of scoring another win versus Pittsburgh. With 24 starting goalies on Tuesday's slate, there's better options to choose from.
