Pekka Rinne News

The last two games haven’t been kind to Rinne. He was pulled in both, and allowed six goals on 14 shots.

Rinne was pulled in the second period after giving up four goals on 12 shots last night vs. the Canucks. Predators head coach Barry Trotz said "I just pulled him after the fourth (goal) because he will go back and play against Calgary tomorrow.” Despite the bad outing for Rinne his numbers in his last four starts are still great (1.43 GAA and .948 SV%). Don't panic on Rinne he should be fine, especially tonight vs. Calgary.

Rinne has been excellent lately. In his last three starts he is 2-0-1 with an outstanding 0.32 GAA and .988 SV% including two shutouts. You can't ask for better production out of a fantasy goalie, so benching him tonight even though he has a tough matchup would take guts. He will go head-to-head with Roberto Luongo, it should be a great goalie showdown

The Predators struggling offense has hurt Rinne's fantasy value. He has posted a 2.02 GAA and .924 SV% in March but he still has a losing record (1-2-1). He has a good matchup vs. a Stars team that will likely be missing Jamie Benn tonight

RInne stopped all 24 shots that he faced last night in a 6-0 win over Edmonton. It was an easy start for Rinne because Nashville was in control of the game as soon as the puck was dropped. Rinne will be back between the pipes when Ryan Suter and the Minnesota Wild come to town.

Rinne's numbers lately are not where Rinne and the Predators would like that. He's only won once in the last three games while posting a 4.87 GAA and .819 SV%. He will look to get back on track tonight against the Sharks.

Rinne allowed four goals in back-to-back games for the first time this season. You don't see Rinne allowing that many goals on a regular basis, so look for him to bounce back tonight. He has a tough matchup vs. Viktor Fasth and the Ducks. Rinne is a must-start in all formats.

Rinne has been excellent has of late. He is 3-2-1 in his last six starts but has posted a 1.38 GAA and .942 SV% over that span. He is one of the best fantasy options their is and is a must-start in all formats. He has a good matchup tonight vs. a Detroit team that he just beat earlier in the week and who have lost 5 straight (0-3-2).

Rinne won his last start vs. Detroit and has now won 3 of his last 4. The Predators are a fairly strong defensive team and with Rinne backstopping them, they are hard to score on. Rinne is a must-start in al formats however he has a difficult matchup tonight vs. Vancouver.

Rinne was supposed to get yesterday off but with Chris Mason playing poorly he had to relieve him. Rinne stopped all 10 shots he faced and will be back in goal tonight vs. the Red Wings. Rinne is a must-start regardless of opponent, and the Red Wings are 0-2-1 coming into tonight's game so it appears to be a pretty good matchup.

Rinne's is riding two straight shutouts and is off to a hot start to the season. The Preds are collapsing with 7 D tonight so expectation is that a grinding game will go in Rinne's favour.

Rinne continues to play well this season. 5-3-3, 1.75 GAA and .934 SV% are the numbers of an elite netminder. The Predators aren't a great team so Rinne won't win as many games as you would probably like but with numbers like that he is still an elite fantasy option. Start him.
