Pekka Rinne Wins Third Straight Game On Sunday
4 years agoNashville Predators goaltender Pekka Rinne picked up his third consecutive victory on Sunday, leading his team to a 3-2 win over the Chicago Blackhawks at the United Center. The 38-year-old, filling in for netminder Juuse Saros who was scratched late due to injury, turned aside 27 of 29 shots in the contest. Despite taking a backseat to one of the hottest league's hottest netminders in Saros as of late, Rinne has still managed to get the job done in starting just three of the Preds' past eight games. Should Saros (currently listed as day-to-day) miss more time, Rinne (30% owned in Yahoo! leagues) could provide sneaky fantasy value facing Dallas twice and Chicago once this week.
