RALEIGH, N.C. -- Carolina Hurricanes goalie Antti Raanta was forced to leave Game 7 of the second-round series against the New York Rangers with a lower-body injury on Monday night.
Raanta exited the game 15:37 into the second period, with the Hurricanes trailing the Rangers 2-0. As New York put the pressure on in the offensive zone, center Mika Zibanejad tried to get a stick on a bouncing puck near the crease. Raanta did a split to his right and then fell stomach-first to the ice as play was stopped.
