Nashville wins despite Pekka Rinne stopping just 15 of 18 shots
Nashville Predators netminder Pekka Rinne was sharp when he needed to be, settling down after allowing the first two goals in Game 6 on Monday night.
What It Means:
Sometimes the best defense is a good offense, and such was the case on Monday night. Rinne made 15 saves on 18 shots against, good for a rather poor .833 save percentage in the game.
With the win, Rinne is now 7-6 with a 2.41 goals against average and .913 save percentage in 13 playoff games this season. Rinne posted very pedestrian numbers in the regular season. In 66 appearances, he owned a 2.48 goals against average and .908 save percentage.
