Player to watch: Antti Raanta, Coyotes
After turning aside 123 of 126 shots last week to go 3-0 with a 0.90 goals-against average and .976 save percentage, Raanta was crowned the NHL's second star of the week — a fitting recognition for how he's helped stabilize the Coyotes of late.
VOICES
"He's a guy that since he came into the league has been an impact player. It's fun to see him have a bit of a resurgence here in Minnesota. He's been leading the way for us."
Center Matt Cullen on teammate Eric Staal recording 900 career points.
