Pekka Rinne Tasked With The Maple Leafs On Tuesday
6 years agoNashville Predators goaltender Pekka Rinne is expected to start on Tuesday night against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Rinne was solid in his last outing on Thursday against the Los Angeles Kings, making 25 saves in a 3-1 win. The towering Finnish netminder has a 25-18-3 record to go along with a 2.51 goals-against average and .913 save percentage. Rinne has been average this season compared to his usual lofty standards, but he is still one of the top-10 fantasy goalies in the league. He matches up with the Maple Leafs at the perfect time, as they come in having given up 23 goals in their past four games. The Maple Leafs are generally one of the scariest opponents for a netminder, but Rinne gets them at their most vulnerable point. He is an upper-tier fantasy play on Tuesday night.
