He is currently playing as the backup for Cristobal Huet, but while he is playing this hot it is more likely that he will see more ice time.

In that time he has allowed just one goal, stopped 80 shotsand and recorded two shutouts  in those games. Antti also had a shutout in his first game this season against the Florida Panthers on October third.
