Predators asking Pekka Rinne to stifle Coyotes' attack

Nashville Predators goalie Pekka Rinne will start versus the Arizona Coyotes Thursday night.

What It Means:

Rinne ended a five-game losing streak with a 28-save outing on Tuesday night against the Colorado Avalanche. Tonight's matchup is with an Arizona team that ranks eighth in the NHL in scoring at 3.00 goals for per game. Rinne enters the contest with a 2.88 goals against average and .914 save percentage.

Rinne is an underwhelming option on FanDuel for the deep Thursday slate, according to numberFire's metrics, as we give him a 50.0 percent chance of winning, but expect 2.54 goals allowed on 26.80 shot attempts.
