Predators' Pekka Rinne: Penciled in to start Wednesday

Rinne will start in the crease Wednesday night against the visiting Stars, Adam Vingan of The Tennessean reports.

Analysis:

Rinne currently ranks among the top 10 goalies in GAA (2.04) and save percentage (.933), and he's been particularly hot of late, allowing only 12 goals over his last nine starts. He'll face a Dallas team that sits third in the Central Division despite owning a minus-13 goal differential.
