It’s Antti time
Chicago will start Antti Raanta tonight -- and for the foreseeable future -- when it takes on St. Louis at the United Center.
Raanta, who hasn’t started a game since Oct. 25, is getting the nod after Corey Crawford suffered a foot injury while tripping on stairs at a concert (yes, seriously.) As you’d expect, Raanta’s numbers on the year are limited -- 1-2-0, .933 save percentage and 2.03 GAA in 177 minutes of work -- but he’ll have a chance to increase those in the coming games, as Crawford is expected to be out 2-3 weeks.
For the Blues, Jake Allen will get the start in goal.
