Pekka Rinne Helps Predators Take Game 1 on Thursday
7 years agoNashville Predators goaltender Pekka Rinne was strong when called upon on Thursday night, stopping 25 of 27 shots faced in earning a victory. Rinne was instrumental in punching his team's ticket to the Stanley Cup Finals last season, posting a 1.96 goals-against average and a .930 save percentage in 22 games. The 35-year-old netminder will look to replicate his success from last year as the Predators look to win all 16 games this playoff run and earn their first Cup in franchise history. The expected Vezina candidate will take on the Avalanche in Game 2 on Saturday.
