Pekka Rinne

Pekka Rinne getting the nod in goal on Thursday for Nashville

Nashville Predators goalie Pekka Rinne will start between the pipes on Thursday as the Preds host the Edmonton Oilers.

What It Means:

Rinne has turned in a pretty solid season so far, going 19-13-6 with a .920 save percentage and 2.40 goals-against average through 38 starts. He also has wins in five of his last seven starts, with a strong .929 save percentage during that span.

Rinne is our sixth-ranked fantasy option among the 16 starting goalies scheduled to take the ice on Thursday. Our models project him for 25.1 saves, 2.2 goals against and a 55.0 percent chance of scoring a win.
