Raanta Tamed by Wild
Antti Raanta turned aside 14 of 17 shots in Sunday’s 5-2 loss to Minnesota. The Wild’s final two goals were scored into an empty net. The Hurricanes out-shot the opposition 42-17 in total, but Raanta had little chance on the first two pucks that beat him, one coming on a tip-in and the other through a screen. Since taking over as Carolina’s No. 1 netminder in early January, the 34-year-old has gone 3-2-1 with a 2.28 GAA and an .898 save percentage — he’s faced more than 24 shots only once in six appearances.
Marchand Deposits One into Empty Net
Brad Marchand scored a goal in Monday’s 4-1 win against the Jets. Marchand deposited his 21st goal into the empty net to put a bow on the scoring at 19:05 of the third period. Charlie Coyle and David Pastrnak assisted on the marker. Marchand ended the evening with a plus-1 rating, two shots on goal, a blocked shot and two hits while winning his only faceoff attempt in 19:24 of ice time across 22 shifts. The veteran has erupted for eight goals and 11 points with a plus-5 rating across 11 games in January.
