Raanta signed a one-year contract with Geneve-Servette HC of Switzerland's National League on Monday.

Despite being done playing in the NHL, Raanta will continue his career overseas. He posted a 12-7-2 record with a 2.99 GAA and an .872 save percentage in 24 regular-season outings with Carolina in 2023-24.

Cooley will defend the road net in Monday's split-squad preseason matchup versus the Oilers, per Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.

Cooley appeared in 14 regular-season games for AHL San Jose in 2023-24, posting a 6-6-2 record with a 3.77 GAA and an .891 save percentage. He also went 2-3-1 with a 4.98 GAA and an .870 save percentage across six NHL outings with the Sharks at the end of the year. Cooley is battling with Dustin Wolf and Dan Vladar for a spot on Calgary's roster for Opening Night during training camp.

Vladar will patrol the home crease in Monday's split-squad exhibition game versus Edmonton, Salim Nadim Valji of TSN reports.

Vladar earned a mark of 8-9-2 with a 3.61 GAA and an .882 save percentage in 20 regular-season outings with Calgary in 2023-24. Following his recovery from hip surgery in March, he will compete with Dustin Wolf and Devin Cooley for the No. 1 goaltender role at training camp.

Hellberg will guard the road goal in Monday's preseason matchup against the Avalanche, according to Sam Nestler of DLLS Stars.

Hellberg will play two periods, and Remi Poirier will enter the contest in the third frame. The 33-year-old Hellberg appeared in 27 AHL regular-season contests between Wilkes-Barre/Scranton and Charlotte in 2023-24. In 26 career NHL appearances, he has an 8-8-1 record with a 3.08 GAA and an .890 save percentage. He will likely begin the 2024-25 campaign in the minors because he ranks behind Jake Oettinger and Casey DeSmith on the Dallas depth chart.

Primeau is expected to start Monday's home preseason contest versus Philadelphia, per Luc Gelinas of RDS.

Primeau posted a record of 8-9-4 with a 2.99 GAA and a .910 save percentage in 23 regular-season appearances with the Canadiens in 2023-24. He will likely enter the upcoming campaign as Sam Montembeault's backup.

Levi will get the starting nod at home versus Columbus on Monday, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.

Levi featured in 23 NHL games for the Sabres last year, going 10-8-2 with a 3.10 GAA and an .899 save percentage. Perhaps a strong preseason could change things up, but he seems destined for the AHL with Ukko-Pekka Lukkonen and James Reimer seemingly cemented in the NHL jobs for Buffalo. As such, Levi figures to be an attractive fantasy option only for managers in dynasty and keeper formats.

Hofer will start in net for Sunday's preseason game against Utah.

Hofer will look to earn more work in 2024-25, but he'll begin the season as Jordan Binnington's backup. Hofer posted a record of 15-12-1 with a .913 save percentage and a 2.65 GAA in 30 regular-season appearances with the Blues in 2023-24.

Woll will guard the home crease against the Senators in Sunday's preseason opener, according to Mark Masters of TSN.

Woll be a key part of Toronto's club in 2024-25 after signing a three-year contract with the team in July. The Missouri native sported a record of 12-11-1 with a .907 save percentage and a 2.94 GAA in 25 regular-season appearances with the Leafs in 2023-24.

Hogberg will start in net versus the Devils in Sunday's road exhibition contest, per Andrew Gross of Newsday.

Hogberg signed a two-year contract with the Islanders in May -- he'll likely start the season with AHL Bridgeport if Ilya Sorokin and Semyon Varlamov are healthy. Hogberg last appeared in the NHL during the 2020-21 season with Ottawa, posting a record of 4-7-0 with an .876 save percentage and a 3.74 GAA in 14 regular-season contests.

Markstrom will guard the home crease in Sunday's preseason matchup versus the Islanders, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

Markstrom will make his first appearance with New Jersey after being acquired in a trade from Calgary in June. The 34-year-old was 23-23-2 with a .905 save percentage and a 2.78 GAA in 48 regular-season appearances with the Flames in 2023-24.
