Predators' Pekka Rinne: Expected to start Friday

Rinne is expected to start in net on Friday against Detroit, Adam Vingan of The Tennessean reports.

Analysis:

The 33-year-old goalie will probably start, but it won't be confirmed until just before the puck drops. Rinne will be looking to get back in the win column after suffering a tough 2-1, 35-save loss to Dallas last time out.
