The Arizona Coyotes‘ goaltending depth may have taken another hit.

Netminder Antti Raanta suffered a lower-body injury and was lifted for the third period of the team’s 6-2 win over the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday.

Raanta, 30, appeared to get hurt late in the second period after getting up slowly following a save, but stayed in net for the rest of the frame. He is listed as day-to-day, according to The Athletic’s Craig Morgan, and the injury is not believed to be serious.

The native of Rauma, Finland stopped all 17 shots he faced before being replaced by Adin Hill.

The seven-year veteran has compiled an 8-8-2 record with a .918 save percentage and 2.76 goals-against average.

Late last month, the Coyotes also Darcy Kuemper to a lower-body injury. He is week-to-week.

The 29-year-old Saskatoon native had been a stalwart in the crease for Arizona this season, on pace for career highs in save percentage (.929) and goals-against average (2.17) in 25 games to go with a 15-8-2 record.
