Pekka Rinne Stands Tall On Monday
6 years agoNashville Predators goaltender Pekka Rinne led his team to a 4-1 victory on Monday afternoon, stopping 35 of 36 shots against to capture his 18th win of the campaign. The 36-year-old entered the matinee contest winless in his previous three appearances (had allowed 14 goals over that span) so the win could be a big confidence-booster for last year's Vezina Trophy winner. Despite recent struggles, Rinne remains a top fantasy goaltender has still has a respectable 2.47 goals-against average and a .915 save percentage in 35 starts. With the Preds nearly back to full health, the Finnish native's numbers should be on the rise and he'll look to put up another strong performance against the Vegas Golden Knights on Wednesday.
