Predators' Pekka Rinne: Gets starting nod for Game 3

Rinne will start between the pipes for Tuesday's Game 3 in Nashville against the Sharks.

Analysis:

Rinne remains a key cog in the Predators' hopes to begin a comeback in the series. His lack of offensive support in Game 2 led to a loss despite the Finn allowing just two goals on 22 shots. There's no guarantee the team will suddenly click, so the only way for Rinne to ensure a win is to do it himself.
