Raanta did play better after the 1st.
You're acting like Boston was getting shots past him all game. There was the first period, a quick bang-bang play in the 3rd that was legitimately a good setup by Haula that I'm not even sure he knew a Hall was there, and then Hall ringing a shot off the post. That's it. Outside of that, Raanta was locked in all night. And make no mistake, Boston took it to us in the 1st, peppering Raanta with I want to say 18 shots, during a time where I think we had 5 or 6 until we started to turn it on late. (which, to be fair, was our first game in 5 days and that game had us resting Slavin, Staal, and Svech... you had to expect a little rust early). We needed him to step up, which he did.
