Raanta was called up in November after Khabibulin went out with an injury.

Thanks so much to "johnnyeight08" for the mask maker/artist information (see comment below.)
From The Goalie Guild's PadsTracker
Raanta's mask was made by Pettri Karvinen who is the mask maker of a Finnish company called Wall Masks. He started about 15 years ago as a hobby and it grew from there to become one, if not the biggest mask maker in Finland with apparently 80% of the SM Liiga (Finnish Top League) goalies wearing them as well as a few playing in the KHL currently. I believe there are also a few other Finns in North America wearing them besides Raanta.
ReplyDeleteThe Painter is a gentleman named Joni "Bona" Hallikainen of Bona designs who also is based in Finland and has done quite a few masks for Finnish goalies. He has also done Keri Lehtonen's current mask.
Thank you so much for all the information!
