But the Carolina defenseman, who scored the first goal in the Hurricanes\u2019 2-0 win on Friday night, recalls the competitive instinct that made Lundqvist great.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe never wanted to be scored on, even in practice, and he\u2019d get upset when you did,\u201d Smith said. \u201cAnd maybe that wore off on [Raanta], playing with him.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>To understand what Raanta, who backed up Lundqvist for two seasons on the Rangers, has done for Carolina, requires first understanding what the Hurricanes lost when starting goalie Frederik Andersen was lost to a lower-body injury. In 52 games during the regular season, Andersen had a .922 save percentage with a 2.17 goals-against average.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis year, he was one of the best goalies in the league,\u201d Hurricanes coach Rod Brind\u2019Amour said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"688\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/052022Rangers05CW.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Antti Raanta makes a save during the Hurricanes' Game 2 win over the Rangers.\" class=\"wp-image-22359647\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/052022Rangers05CW.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/052022Rangers05CW.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/052022Rangers05CW.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/052022Rangers05CW.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Antti Raanta makes a save during the Hurricanes\u2019 Game 2 win over the Rangers. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Charles Wenzelberg \/ New York Post<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Raanta had good numbers as Andersen\u2019s backup this season, as he has for most of his career. But he is a career backup \u2014 though one who has kept the Rangers scoreless for the last 116:05 of this series.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not quite in the mold of what Lundqvist did when Raanta was backing him up. The Rangers had just 21 shots on net Friday, without many Grade-A chances. The bulk of the credit will rightly go to Carolina\u2019s defense, which kept the Rangers\u2019 top six completely vexed all night, over its goaltender.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But the lessons Raanta learned from Lundqvist are paying off.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I was in New York, obviously what Hank was doing there was eye-opening for me,\u201d Raanta said. \u201cHe was, in 2015, that was probably his seventh or eighth year in the league. Every year he was one of the best goalies. I was like, \u2018This is the reason why he is the best goalie.\u2019 He was always working, he was always trying to get better.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cObviously [Benoit Allaire] in New York is one of the best in the league as a goalie coach and as a human being. It was a lot of fun to work with him and get to know Hank like that. Now you see [Igor] Shesterkin, he fights till the end, he moves unbelievably and he makes the saves he has to. Sometimes he makes those huge highlight reel saves. It\u2019s obviously probably something that comes from New York.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Raanta is not in a class with either of those names. But through two games of this series, he has two victories and Shesterkin, the presumptive Vezina Trophy winner, has zero. Raanta did not lean into that after Game 2, but he did say that having Shesterkin across from him helps raise his game. As for the marveling over the narrative, he left that to his teammates.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just think it\u2019s pretty remarkable what he\u2019s done, right?\u201d Smith asked. \u201cI think coming in and harnessing the moment and stepping in and playing the way he is, it\u2019s phenomenal.\u201d\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
