Pekka Rinne Shuts Out Maple Leafs On Tuesday Night
6 years agoNashville Predators goaltender Pekka Rinne coasted to a 22-save shutout over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday night. Rinne has now only allowed one goal across his past two starts. The Finnish netminder owns a 26-18-3 record on the season to go along with a 2.46 goals-against average, .915 save percentage, and four shutouts. Rinne has not been the Vezina-caliber goaltender from years past, but he is still an elite fantasy option in net. With that in mind, the Predators face two elite offenses in their next two games: the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Winnipeg Jets. Regardless, Rinne can be started with relative confidence if he gets the nod for both contests.
