A. Raanta - G

ARI

Antti Raanta won't be available for Wednesday's match against Nashville.

Raanta was deemed "unfit to play" after he left Tuesday's game. He was on the bench as Darcy Kuemper's backup when he exited the match and he didn't return. Raanta took a shot off his mask during the pregame warmup, which is believed to be the reason for his absence. Adin Hill will be Kuemper's understudy in Game 3 versus the Predators on Wednesday.

Tucker Poolman managed to stay in Tuesday's game against Calgary despite taking a puck to the face at close range.

"Tucker was really lucky that he didn’t lose any teeth,” coach Paul Maurice said after Winnipeg's 6-2 loss. "He’s just got some sutures there, and he’s got a giant-sized — five golf balls — he’s got a huge welt on the side of his face." He was bloodied when he left the ice and it looked like the Jets would be another man down, but he returned in the third period with a full cage on his helmet for protection.
