Pekka Rinne Celebrates Extension With Shutout Win
6 years agoNashville Predators goaltender Pekka Rinne inked a two-year extension on Saturday afternoon and then proceeded to shut out the Boston Bruins on Saturday night. Rinne made 26 saves in the 1-0 victory and improved his record to 5-1-0 on the season. The reigning Vezina Trophy winner has been one of the best fantasy goalies in the league for the past decade. Even with the young Juuse Saros challenging him for the starting role, Rinne owns the Predators' net. He is a top-five fantasy goalie and will carry a 1.63 goals-against average, .948 save percentage, and two shutouts into a Wednesday matchup against the Colorado Avalanche.
