Rinne will be between the pipes in Saturday's Game 5 against the Ducks.

Analysis:

Rinne struggled in Games 3 and 4 of the series, allowing a total of seven goals while registering an ugly 3.54 GAA and .848 save percentage in back-to-back losses. There's reason to be optimistic heading into Saturday's Game 5 in Anaheim, however, as Rinne was sharp on the road in the first two games of the series, surrendering a total of four goals with a much more respectable 2.00 GAA and .931 save percentage in back-to-back victories. The away team has won every game thus far in the Predators' first-round series with the Ducks, making Rinne a sneaky play in daily formats for those willing to roll the dice on the 33-year-old netminder.
