Pekka Rinne

Pekka Rinne expected to start for Nashville versus the Flyers

Nashville Predators goalie Pekka Rinne is expected to start in goal Monday versus the Philadelphia Flyers.

What It Means:

Rinne has been terrible in his past seven games played, allowing at least three goals in each game, while stopping only .865 percent of shots faced. He has lost three of his last four starts while allowing 3.5 goals per game and posting a .853 save percentage. Rinne also draws one of the hottest teams in the NHL as the Flyers are coming off their first loss in 11 games.

Our models project Rinne to stop 25.8-of-28.4 shots faced with a 48.0 percent chance of winning in Philly, making him the seventh-best goalie option in Monday's five-game slate.
