The New York Rangers announced Monday that backup goaltender Antti Raanta will be sidelined 7-to-10 days with a lower-body injury.

Raanta suffered the injury Saturday versus the Montreal Canadiens, with starter Henrik Lundqvist entering the game in relief after the first period.

Raanta has been impressive for the Blueshirts this season, posting a 10-4-0 record through 18 games, alongside a .923 save percentage.

In a related move, the Rangers recalled netminder Magnus Hellberg from the Hartford Wolfpack, the club's AHL affiliate.
