Pekka Rinne Will Likely Start On Wednesday
6 years agoNashville Predators goaltender Pekka Rinne is the likely starter for Wednesday's clash with the Blackhawks. The experienced netminder has just posted his third shutout of the season, finishing a 4-0 win at Toronto on Monday with 18 saves. The Preds were struggling on the road for a while, but they are now riding a four-game point streak, winning three of the games. Rinne's overall road record for the season stands at an unimpressive 5-5-2, but Nashville are heavy favorites in Chicago, so he's in a good spot to get his 17th win of the season. Rinne has posted a 1-1-0 record with a 2.05 goals-against average and a .930 save percentage in his previous two starts against the Blackhawks this season.
