Arizona Coyotes Finnish goalkeeper Antti Raanta left his team out of substitution in the middle of the night match against Nashville Predators Adin Hillin replaced this Coyotes as a substitute goalkeeper in the second installment.
Raanna’s absence was cited as the same reason the NHL is using in the summer unfit to play.
Arizona head coach Rick Tocchet revealed to the media the injury in question during the warm-up.
– Something happened during the warm-up. We are talking about the goalkeeper selection on Wednesday evening, the head coach opened the situation for the Finn.
At least based on the TV pictures, it seemed that Raanta would have gotten his own player’s bet directly on his mask in the warm-up. However, the Finn, who dropped second in Coyotes this season, sat on his team’s bench in the first set before Hill replaced him in the second round.
The playoff series between Coyotes and Predators continues today, Wednesday. Match wins are currently 1-1.
