Pekka Rinne

Pekka Rinne defending the net for Predators on Friday

Nashville Predators goalie Pekka Rinne will start on Friday night against the Edmonton Oilers.

What It Means:

Rinne will take over for the second night of a back-to-back set versus an Oilers team that ranks 10th in the NHL with 2.81 goals for per game. He's 16-12-6 on the year with a .921 save percentage and 2.36 goals-against average.

Our models project Rinne for 26.5 saves, 2.5 goals against and a 43.0 percent chance of scoring a win on Friday. That makes him our ninth-ranked fantasy goalie among the day's 12 starters.
