The Carolina Hurricanes have activated goaltenders Antti Raanta and Frederik Andersen from injured reserve. Raanta, out since February 8 with a lower-body injury, was placed on waivers with a $1.5M cap hit and could be a backup for the Flyers, who are in a playoff race. His performance this season includes a 2.99 GAA and a .872 Sv%. Andersen, sidelined since November 2, 2033, due to a blood-clotting issue, returns 122 days after the announcement of his condition. He will start tonight against Montreal, having achieved a 60-26-4 record and a .914 Sv% over three seasons with the Hurricanes, and was 4-1 earlier this season.
