Pekka Rinne Gets Lit Up Again On Saturday
6 years agoNashville Predators goaltender Pekka Rinne, who was pulled in Game 4 against Dallas after allowing four first-period goals, didn't do much better in Game 5 either, allowing five goals on 26 shots in a 5-3 defeat on Saturday. It was a complete nightmare for the Finn in the second period when Dallas opened up a big lead by getting four of their eights shots past by the 2018 Vezina Trophy winner. Postseason struggles aren't anything new for Rinne, though. In Wednesday's 5-1 loss, Rinne was pulled from a playoff game for the 10th time in his career. He'll look to avoid his third three-game losing streak of the season in Monday's elimination game.
