Pekka Rinne

Pekka Rinne the likely starter on Tuesday for Predators

Nashville Predators goalie Pekka Rinne is expected to draw the call on Tuesday night against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

What It Means:

Rinne gave up three goals on 33 shots in a win over the Columbus Blue Jackets last Thursday, giving him three victories in a row. On the season, Rinne is now 19-12-6 with a .921 save percentage and 2.36 goals-against average. He's going to have his gloves full tonight versus the best offense in the NHL (3.54 goals per game).

Rinne is numberFire's 21st-ranked fantasy goalie among the 28 starters in action on Tuesday. Our models project him for 27.5 saves, 2.7 goals against and a 37.0 percent chance of scoring a win.
